Bojangles just brought a full bar to the LINQ Promenade, Sbarro and a Taco Bell sidewalk café are crowding Harmon Corner, and the F1 build is already squeezing traffic. It was also a big week in court, from the Tupac case sentencing to a would-be juror getting booted from the flamingo trial. Then John Curtas drops his list of the best steakhouses in Las Vegas, and one local favorite catches some serious shade. Plus, the Venetian is building a 275-suite hotel inside a hotel with a private Dolce&Gabbana pool. Would you pay $24 for a beer if it came with the cup?

Save on Las Vegas Advisor Membership with code MTM! - https://milestomemories.com/go/lva2/ The A's most exclusive ballpark club just sold out at $72,900 a season plus a six-figure seat license, and the people buying it are not who you would expect. Zak Bagans just bought the famous Underground House for $4.55 million with big plans for it, Bellagio's sign along I-15 looks like it is getting a screen, and the woman accused of marrying five men in a matter of months learned her sentence. We also hit G2E's newest slot innovation (you have to hear it), the Sonic the Hedgehog pop-up headed to Chinatown, the Haunted Inn at Palms, why the LVCVA wants Cosm in Vegas, and a court ruling on the Strip's pedestrian bridge ban. Then a Vital Vegas post kicks off the great debate over free drinks for non-players, with a 1955 memo showing casinos have been fighting this forever. Should non-players get comped drinks?

Save on Las Vegas Advisor Membership with code MTM! - https://milestomemories.com/go/lva2/ The NBA has narrowed Las Vegas down to three billionaire groups, two of the bidders just joined forces, and the price tag with an arena is now $12 to $13 billion. We break down who looks like the favorite and why Seattle fans should care how this ends. Also this week, Bill Krackomberger's video of prop bet odds changing on him mid-bet at Resorts World, the Four Seasons towers topping off in Henderson at prices that will make your eyes water, and Mark Wahlberg welcoming everyone back to a completely transformed Suncoast. Plus Carrot Top's comeback show sells out, the flying monkeys escape the Sphere, John Mayer joins the schedule, a 1990 promo video that captures Vegas right before everything changed, and August numbers that tell a more interesting story than the headlines.

Capital One Venture 75K + $300 more info on our site: https://milestomemories.com/capital-one-venture-rewards-credit-card/ Caesars shareholders voted this week, and it was not close: the Fertitta takeover passed with a landslide at $31 a share, and now it goes to gaming regulators across the country. We also dig into the Plaza's Jonathan Jossel asking whether Vegas has become too dependent on big events, what Brightline's bankruptcy means for the Vegas train, and the news that Vegas Matt's story is being developed into a Hollywood movie. Wayne Newton's legendary Casa de Shenandoah estate is set to become 77 homes, the Vegas 5 Day Sale snuck back with one standout Fremont deal, Fontainebleau held on to the only Michelin Key in town, and a former Resorts World compliance director says he was fired for raising red flags. Plus Mark takes the blind Vegas hotel ranker live on air, and it does not go well. Is Vegas too dependent on big events? Let us know in the comments.

Tickets go on sale September 24. Oasis made it official too: three August nights at Allegiant Stadium, and if you did not pre-register, you are out of luck. Also this week, the Royal Resort is finally being torn down, Cleopatra has re-emerged in a free 60th anniversary display at Caesars Palace, Waymo officially launched in Las Vegas (invite only for now), and F1 closed a pedestrian bridge without telling anyone how to get around it, with predictable results. Plus another cautionary tale about inviting strangers up to your room, Adam Silver talks Vegas NBA arenas like the team is a done deal, and the FULL House Act advances, moving the 90% gambling deduction rule one step closer to the grave.

Meanwhile the Circus Circus clown sign, turns 50 this month with its electrical system completely fried, and we make the case for restoration over yet another screen. The neighbors behind Atomic Golf keep finding golf balls in their yards, the Strat says the nets are fine, and somebody has to be wrong. Plus a $5 football contest with a $25,000 prize at South Point, no Spice Girls residency after all (but Oasis is expected), Bally's loses its CFO, Bank of America's sobering look at what betting does to its own customers' accounts, a cinnamon roll described like fine literature, and Fiesta Henderson finally has a real plan. We also pause to mark 25 years since September 11 and what it meant for Las Vegas. Should Circus Circus restore the clown or go digital? Let us know in the comments.

Get your MTM Vegas merch! https://mtmvegas.shop Last show we could not confirm the Circus Circus steak deal. This week we have the sign, the video, and the menu: it is real, it runs weekday afternoons, and it might be the best steak value in Vegas. Also, the Wizard of Oz turns one at the Sphere with a mountain of ticket revenue and upgrades on the way, including a new flight of winged monkeys over the audience. Kelly Clarkson goes viral and reignites our favorite argument: who becomes the next great long-term Vegas residency and why hasn't she done better? Plus Boomer's Sportsbook lands at Four Queens with a deposit match worth grabbing, Zoox robotaxis are officially serving the airport (pack light), Red Rock is closing Lotus of Siam and Naxos Taverna, the Raiders got their $75 million in public money for the bridge, and a developer wants to carve a whole new bypass behind the Strip.

We lost Dolly Parton and Tim Curry on the same day, and we take a minute for two legends with real Vegas ties before getting into the news. And there is a lot of it: glass fell off Fontainebleau again and the local coverage is strangely thin, the Venetian reportedly kicked out Vegas Matt ten months ago and handled it about as badly as possible, and the Bob Stupak statue from the Strat somehow ended up on eBay for $90,000. Plus Carin Leon is taking over Fontainebleau for Mexican Independence Day, Boondock gives the best tour yet of the Mansion at MGM Grand, Vegas has new Michelin stars nobody on this show can pronounce, the Vegas Loop is now approved for 123 stations, July's gaming numbers are in, and a new locals casino called Silverado is headed for the planning commission. We close with Caesars Olympus, the new invite only top tier, and why Caesars abandoning its mid-tier players is the real story. Would you chase this status? Let us know in the comments.

There are also rumors about who might swoop in and take it over, and the name being floated has history on the Strip that a lot of people are still not over. Meanwhile the Raiders want $158 million for a new North Plaza with $75 million of it coming from public funds, Downtown Grand has been sold, Circa quietly opened two new floors of rooms, and there is a Strip buffet charging locals ten bucks.

It is listed on booking.com and hotels.com too, with AI renderings, a new name on the bed skirt, and no mention of a few things you would probably want to know about. Meanwhile Uncle Philly gave away $200 a person at Treasure Island and people stood in line for over eight hours to get it, at midnight, on a Tuesday. Plus Rio Rita's return continues, Circus Circus quietly killed its food court behind garbage bags, Wynn finally put a date on Al Marjan, and the most delicious thing in Las Vegas just got shut down by a neighbor.

Zoox got federal approval through 2028 and starts charging for robotaxi rides in Las Vegas next week, though they say pricing will be similar to Uber and taxis, which we think is a mistake if they want people to actually try it. Boring quietly opened a Vegas Loop station at Sahara, making it the second property with both a monorail and Loop station, with rides to the airport running about $14. We also cover Slots of Fun turning 55 with the best carpet in Vegas, Penn's earnings call comments about not wanting a Strip property saddled with deferred maintenance, Lady Luck's transparent post showing she is down $430,000 for 2026, a look at Primm's positive changes under Terrible's including $20 free play for new signups, another contender for the smallest room downtown at Four Queens, and Tibor's genuinely incredible tribute site to the old Boardwalk Casino.

We also dig into MGM's earnings call, where they revealed the Luxor and Excalibur all-inclusive package has booked over 30,000 room nights and that half those customers are brand new to MGM, which raises the obvious question of why they did not offer real value years ago. Bellagio is looking at adding more villas since they only have eight, plus more activation around the lakeside after Carbone Riviera's success, and MGM explained why they picked Park MGM for their locals push. Plus a roulette board at Aria showing 28 hitting five out of seven times at roughly one in four million odds, a new UNLV projection saying Clark County will not hit 3 million people until 2055, conspiracy theory cocktails at Velveteen Rabbit, viral center bite cinnamon rolls from a local home bakery, Korean barbecue at Palace Station, and the second F1 race Las Vegas thankfully dodged. Let us know in the comments whether you are going to see Steve Wynn speak.

The heart shaped hotel proposed for the old Skyvue site across from Mandalay Bay is now approved after FAA tweaks, with 752 rooms and a mini Fremont Street style canopy. Top Gun the attraction finally closed on a location, landing between the Little Church of the West and the Pinball Hall of Fame on the far South Strip. We also cover the Wyndham to Caesars transfer cap doubling to 60,000 points through mid September, the ongoing Joe Lombardo traffic stop fallout now that an ethics complaint has been filed and Metro is dusting a freeway sticker for fingerprints, two great new pizza spots in Metro Slice and Signora Pizza Lab, and why filming your kid at a slot machine is never funny. We close with John Mehaffey's table games survey, where the average Vegas minimum is now $17.98, Jerry's Nugget and OYO are the cheapest in town, and El Cortez has quietly become the second most expensive.
