Episode Description

This week the visitor and gaming numbers came in for December, 2025 giving us a picture for the year as a whole. While many metrics were down significantly in 2025, what can we take away from the year and how damaging will it be to the future of Las Vegas. Can the city bring back the everyman and why is gaming revenue not falling as quickly?

In other news Four Queens has arrived with the perfect Year of the Horse gift. We also discuss: Caesars garage in ruin, Luger's secret salad, reimagining Flamingo's garden, Nevada Landing's fake website, saving with Las Vegas Advisor, the Hard Rock glass and why Flamingo's 1996 commercial gives us nostalgia.
