We recap July 4th on the Strip, where nine hotels shot off fireworks and the whole city handed out just 30 tickets despite millions of illegal fireworks going off everywhere. Then it is a lot of news: Resorts World is adding a country bar called Miss Loretta's this fall, which has us asking whether Resorts World has any idea what it is, and downtown, Derek Stevens' at par promotion matching the Canadian dollar one to one has drawn 75,000 Canadians and $150 million in slot coin in. We get into the heated El Cortez advantage play debate sparked by a Vegas Matt video, drool over the $150 Bellagio banana split cart, and check out the new Museum of Ice Cream at Area 15 with all you can eat ice cream for $42. On the business side, Caesars is going dark before its earnings ahead of the Fertitta deal, and we finally give our full review of the new Vanderpump Hotel rooms, the good, the creepy nightstands, and why we would take it over Caesars Palace. Let us know in the comments where you land on the AP debate. Episode…
