Caesars quietly brought back the free show benefit for Diamond and Seven Stars members, and this time it is better than ever with Absinthe, FlyLINQ zipline, Piff and more on the all-digital, app-based list. Penn and Teller just extended at the Rio for three more years to become the longest-running headliners at a single Vegas property in history, with over 12,000 shows, while Penn heads out on tour with Piff the Magic Dragon. Vegas police fought back against street-takeover drivers by shredding two seized cars and posting the video. We also get into the Golden Knights firing John Tortorella after his miracle playoff run, whether a pending Caesars sale could finally mean a new tower, a desert road trip to the UFO hotel and alien jerky shop in Baker, firefighter training inside the Tesla Loop tunnels, and a deep dive into the incredible Paul Steelman interview on the Plaza's On the Corner of Main Street podcast, including capitalistic obstacle courses, Macau, casino myths, and the jaw-dropping Resorts World that almost got built. Let us know in the comments which free show you would book and whether you wish we got Steelman's version of Resorts World.

The coin-op machines keep vanishing now that Cal pulled its bank of coin-drop video poker, leaving only a handful of spots and around 140 machines left in town. Wynn is swapping out its famous carpet for the exact same design, which sparks a Wynn vs Bellagio personality debate. Drag legend Frank Marino is retiring after 41 years on the Strip, Rocky Horror Picture Show is heading to the Sphere in 2027, and the Museum of Ice Cream opens at Area 15 on July 3. We also break down the Resorts World vs MGM Grand poll, the first legal crypto bet in Nevada history over at Circa, and Derek Stevens turning Fremont Street into a stage for the most ridiculous Vegas parade you will ever see, all to celebrate a Sigma Derby machine that loses money.

This week Mark and Shawn break down the woman who allegedly married 14 men in Las Vegas, eat a little crow as the Golden Knights fall to the Hurricanes, and dig into the Vanderpump Hotel grand opening (drone show and all). Plus an A's ballpark update with the big arch now in place, Palms' adult-only "Camp Palms," Swingers After Dark, Joe DeSimone selling The Pass while scooping up the Bighorn and Longhorn, White Castle's Casino Royale replacement, a couple of jaw-dropping jackpots — and the headline of the week: the Nevada Gaming Abstract showing Strip net profits plunging 81% while Downtown actually out-earned the Strip on a fraction of the revenue. Debt servicing, distressed properties, and what it all means for the MGM and Caesars deals.

We dig into why Caesars might be the real winner of the MGM and Caesars buyouts thanks to all the Strip land it still owns, whether Caesars' new $199 Ultimate Steakhouse Tour is actually a deal (spoiler: we're not sold), and the casino shakeup that lands The Pass with the free-food crew at Rainbow Club and Emerald Isle. Plus Four Queens turns 60, a beloved Hugo's Cellar sommelier retires after 41 years, Sigma Derby gets its own Fremont Street parade, a 90s themed speakeasy that falls flat, the downtown Low Line park dream, and the big question to close: is Oyo in trouble after falling behind on its taxes?

On this episode of MTM Vegas, Shawn and Mark break down the biggest story of all — both MGM (to People Inc.) and Caesars (to Fertitta Entertainment) going private within a week of each other, what it means for the Strip, the property sell-offs likely to follow, and why Hard Rock coming online next year could force everyone to compete. Plus the news Vegas fans have been waiting for: Primm is saved, with Terrible's stepping in to operate the casinos ahead of the planned July 4th closure. We also dig into Hoover Dam's massive new 300-foot American flag lit up through Independence Day, the 3.8 earthquake that rattled the valley, F1 locking in Las Vegas through 2037, Downtown Summerlin's controversial new "DTS" logo, the Neon Museum adding the iconic Mirage sign, the world's biggest In-N-Out opening at BLVD, and the closing of Le Cirque at Bellagio.

Is Mark a hater or just sarcastic? Can a non-local even talk about Vegas? Do we actually hate Chris Angel? Is any of this scripted? And what's the deal with "So Mark…"? Shawn brings the 30-year-local take, Mark brings the lifelong-tourist side, and it goes everywhere — Primm and Buck-ee's, the Alice Cooper Lambo, the ticket dolls, and the wildest cold-opens we've ever aired (yes, including the one that got us demonetized).

| 6/3/26 | ![]() MGM & Caesars Are Leaving Wall Street — The New Era of Las Vegas + Rio's Questionable Buffet! | Save big on Vegas with Las Vegas Advisor — get 10% off a membership with code MTM (new members, affiliate): lasvegasadvisor.com I went on vacation and they sold Las Vegas. Live from Montenegro this week because the news would not wait — both of the Strip's biggest operators are heading toward going private. Barry Diller's People Inc. (the former IAC) has put a non-binding, all-cash offer on the table to buy the 73.9% of MGM Resorts it doesn't already own at $48.30/share — an ~$18 billion deal — and take the company private. Pair that with the Caesars / Fertitta Entertainment take-private we covered last week, and Las Vegas may be entering a brand-new era owned by the billionaire class instead of Wall Street. Is that good or bad for the guest experience? I make the case. Plus: the Cromwell has officially reopened as the Vanderpump Hotel (new lampshades, the Gigolo cocktail garden, and why it's still the best Caesars property to base yourself at), the Rio's new $27 buffet that's drawing comparisons to a highway motel breakfast, and a little Star Trek: The Experience nostalgia. Episode Guide: 0:00 They sold Vegas while I was gone (live from Montenegro) 0:25 Cromwell is officially the Vanderpump Hotel 1:44 Inside Vanderpump: the Gigolo bar & saved Cromwell chairs 2:50 Best Caesars property to base at — comps, parking, rates 3:30 The "headless man" at Park MGM 3:47 Star Trek: The Experience & the onion ring tower mystery 4:31 Rio's new buffet: the Hyatt Globalist breakfast backstory 5:24 $27 for THIS?
