Episode Description

This week some big new hotness opened up in Sin City. To start the Athletics debuted their futuristic preview center with a dome projector, mock suites and a lot of tech. It also has the coolest stadium model we have seen yet. Will this sell tickets? Chase also debuted their stunning but small lounge at Harry Reid International Airport. Unfortunately we think you'll need to wait.

In other #news Sphere announced 1.5 million tickets sold while setting 2026 dates for one of their most popular acts. We also discuss: the stunning new GVR rooms, huge expansions in Chinatown, NYC's 3 casinos, the downfall of Aria and Jacob's recent experience plus Plaza's non smoking casino changes again.
