This week has been busy with a ton of news as we inch closer to the 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix. Unfortunately the news isn't good as MGM has said demand is soft and rooms rates across the city are not much different than a normal weekend. We also debrief MGM's earnings where they touted their Marriott partnership windfall and their new "luxury campus".

In other news Circa may be expanding according to a new rumor and finishing the 7 stories of rooms that were left unbuilt when the property opened. Two story suites anyone? We also show you inside Circa's most unique suite which includes 8 bunkbeds and enough bro love for everyone!

We also discuss the closure of Caesars Palace's sportsbook, Venetian's poker room opening, Caesars selling WSOP, proxy betting and illegal bets, waiting 4 hours for a handpay, $500 craps at Flamingo, Aria's mysterious construction walls, inside tips from Mirage's demolition and Rod Stewart ending his 13 year Vegas run.
