MTM Vegas - Monday Solo Show

Hard Rock's Guitar Hotel has officially topped off on the former Mirage site, giving Las Vegas its clearest look yet at one of the Strip's next skyline-defining projects. Shawn breaks down the tower milestone, the latest A's ballpark construction progress and the giant Caesars Palace screen now lighting up one of the busiest corners in town.

The show also heads south to the abandoned SkyVue smokestacks site, which has sold for $70 million and may become an 874-room hotel-casino with a floating restaurant and heart-shaped LED facade. Plus the Eagles add more Sphere dates and Spirit Airlines shuts down after years of cutbacks in Las Vegas.
