This week some troubling numbers came in as we received the visitor stats and gaming figures for February, 2024. With numbers down a lot, can we blame the Super Bowl or is this the beginning of huge declines. Plus why are people searching for Vegas less and why the sky might not be falling despite huge changes to the negative.

In other news F1's Grand Prix Plaza is delayed in Vegas, but they still let the media in. We also discuss: casino scented candles, construction progress on the newest Vegas casino, how the new Hard Rock is doing, whether casinos overblow card counting, Hyatt's casino promo and why Caesars should give gamblers free red bulls!

This week we learned that another piece of Vegas history will be getting demolished soon. While the Caesars Palace rotunda may be an afterthought at this point, it was once a grand entrance to the property. With it sitting around so much undeveloped land, what could Caesars be planning and should they keep this piece of Vegas history?

In other news the A's are for sale or at least a piece of them is. What is the team worth and will this ensure that they can build their ballpark on the Vegas Strip? We also discuss: casino bar light systems, the mainstream media fighting against Vegas prices, GVR's confusing upgrade offers, UNLV's hockey championship, how Rio fixed one of their big issues and why Las Vegas is one of the top pizza cities in the US.
