Episode Description
This week a number of shifts have happened in Las Vegas. To start, Delano officially became the W Las Vegas even if it will take years for the renovations to complete. We also saw a new penthouse at Resorts World and Hyatt's bombshell return to the Strip. They are partnering with Venetian/Palazzo, but is this a good fit?
In other #news the FTC has enacted sweeping new rules for disclosure of concert junk fees and hotel resort fees. It's about time! We also discuss the new Caesars property, old school crazy slots, UNLV's epic season, another new Vegas sports team, Horseshoe's penthouse and giving sports parlays as Christmas gifts.
