This week the July gaming and visitor numbers for Nevada and Las Vegas specifically were released. For the first time in a long time the news wasn't good with the Strip seeing a year over year 15% decline in gaming revenue, but is the sky falling? Find out why numbers are still good despite the drop.

In other news we finally learned about the exact date and time when the Tropicana will be imploded. We'll talk strategy and how much the rooms in the area are going to cost. Other topics discussed include: Primm's buffet and possible rides returning, NYNY's new tiny registration desk, a look at the El Cortez renovation, an update on MGM fees and what Vegas Vic looks like close up.
