- 161 - Ep. 159 - Cancellation Nation
It's time for a virtual deluge of Las Vegas news and exclusive commentary about what's happening in the world's most exciting city besides Amsterdam. We took a little time off, so there's a lot to share. Not just the stories every other bonehead reports when they get a news release. The stories behind the stories and the stories hiding under the ottoman. The juicy stuff. The nitty-gritty. The scoop. Plus lots of wild speculation and fooltommery, which isn't a thing, but it will be, just watch.

In what we claim is our briefest episode, ever, we talk about a former Bally's hotel tower, the Jubilee tower, being absorbed into Paris Las Vegas. As the kids say, serious scoop.
There's also some news and a listicle, but we can't do everything well. We are a generalist.
Just listen, then go to Twitter and give us a passionate opinion we can ignore because we are very busy and important.

We'd love to say it stops there, but we also talk how a focus on casino profit margins is ruining everything, along with the best magic shows in Las Vegas.
Just listen, it's a podcast, it's not about reading.
