Episode Description

This week Vegas made headlines for a bunch of big reasons. We break down Qantas launching direct Sydney flights to Las Vegas and what that means for the city's international growth, plus Metallica's newly announced Sphere residency and whether it could become one of the toughest tickets in town. We also discuss Bruno Mars getting a street named after him near Park MGM, the latest Eastside Cannery implosion update (including Longhorn's paid viewing setup), and a possible Primm sale that could signal major redevelopment at the state line.

In other news we cover Wynn's hack follow-up, A's/Bally's funding chatter, Plaza's new casino streaming room and several Vegas food stories including Bob Taylor's Ranch House earning a James Beard America's Classics honor.
