Blockbuster Vegas Numbers, Plaza's Summer Fireworks, MGM's Good Deeds & Trop Demolition Accident!
Have you ever wondered how Mark and Shawn got started working together? We just did an "origin story" video over on 20 Minute Travel you might be interested in. Check it out here! • Favorite Points Redemp...
Episode Description
The April gaming numbers for Nevada are in and they are very good. After a soft month in March casinos upped the ante with big wins in Vegas and another huge month of revenue statewide. The Strip took in $666M. Is that a little evil?
In other #news MGM just donated their 5 millionth meal since 2016 which is pretty cool. We also discuss a 200 year old bottle of Thomas Jefferson's wine that can be found in Vegas, West Nile in town, where to find amazing Philly sandwiches, how the A's have a loophole to get out of Vegas, an accident at the Trop demo and a $1.7 million NFL jackpot.

Gambling is up because the house edge is up on the popular games. Triple Zero Roulette, 6:5 Blackjack, tighter slots. Casinos will be rolling in the dough until people stop playing those games.

The depression is going to hit Vegas hard in the next couple of years. All you have to do is look at the numbers, and you will see that it will eventually hurt Vegas. People are avoiding more expensive trips in favor of Vegas but an unemployment spike is going to happen within the next year, and that will start snowballing things.

There have been a lot of -2% and -3% on those reports, including the Strip. Not this one but, Strip gaming was down 3% last month, and North Las Vegas was down 2% this month. Those casinos have raised their prices more than 10% month after month for over a year, so a 4% increase seems pretty weak to me. Would love to see every year stacked side by side since 2019. I bet there's no increase outside of price. In fact, I bet there's a decrease, and the increase in price is the only thing that made revenue go up.

Harrahs in Laughlin needs a BIG refresh. It's old and nasty. Once, I stayed in the adult tower after it had been remodeled . I did not appreciate stepping into water on the floor when I got out of the shower. There is no door or shower curtain, just a half glass.The lady at check-in was very rude and insulted me.

There was an underground tunnel connecting the two towers. The Trop employee entrance was at the ground level of the back tower and you went through the tunnel to get to the casino up front. It sloped downward, so you couldn’t see the other end. There was a traffic signal to indicate if you were driving carts through the tunnel to avoid collisions.

Yeah at a casino food hall I wasn’t expecting huge so it was fine. Taste was pretty good though for sure.
Never a good thing to find a hole in the desert. Maybe they'll find Jimmy Hoffa's remains down there. 🤣 And I have to wonder if freeze dried prime rib taste any good. 🤔 Rio in the 90's had a spectacular wine cellar/shop, one of the best in the nation and the Wine Director Barrie Larvin was well known in the wine world. Madeira is a fortified wine and has an indefinite shelf life because they add brandy to it. Probably can find other bottles from the 1800's at auction even today.
Gambling is up cause the holds are up and the table games are offering worse rules/odds and min bets are up and the food is so much more expensive even from 2 years ago of course they will make money when they change the rules and charge more.
Madira is wine mixed with a neutral alcohol made from distilled grape 🍇 or fruit 🍎, it is then heated , almost like it’s pasteurised , it’s also semi sweet and has an unlimited shelf life , so that Jefferson wine is probably still drinkable, also Thomas Jefferson was a journeyman and worked at our family’s Printing press back in the day in London 🏴 incidentally MGM never do anything without a reason for their own good , the food bank deal was probably tax deductible 😂

Lastly, I have been standing with Scott @VitalVegas on A's not making to to Nevada.

Been waiting for the floor to fall out of the wider economy. But it hasnt, as you said. Cant explain it and that's why there's no retail confidence in markets at the moment. The only large asset trading is being done by institutional investors looking to privatise companies and package them into ETFs. It seems like the show is going on because it has to, not because it has any true optimism. The human spirit is undefeatable it seems. Maybe everything is booming and I'm just pessimistic 🤷♂️

The economy is good or bad depending on your income level.

I'd be willing to wager that the big downturn comes shortly after the next time the casino companies put themselves in hock up the wazoo financing a bunch of new megaprojects with debt instead of issuing stock. When that is... who knows, but corporations are so addicted to debt financing (and so scared of the the hedge funds that force them to use it,) I figure that's the easiest path to doomsday.
