The OYO hotel name scandal just claimed its first casualty. Paragon Gaming is done running the casino at the former Hooters, and a familiar downtown operator is lined up to take over pending licensing. What does that mean for the most valuable empty corner on the Strip, and could the Stardust concept art a fan sent us actually be the answer? Also on this show, Wynn is pulling the plug on a $120 million production, and the cast already has a theory about what replaces it. Plus Allegiant Stadium lands near the top of the NFL rankings, Vegas gets crowned the most fun city in America, the Rio quietly rebrands two venues, the Mama Llama cinnamon roll saga takes a turn, John Taffer picks a fight with a Four Queens bartender, and the feds cut Nevada's Lake Mead water while the state heads to court.
