They talk BLVD’s progress on the Strip, whether Vegas demand is really slipping or just shifting, the old rumor about Luxor sinking, and why a story about swings in Washoe County somehow turned into a nostalgia trip about dangerous playgrounds. They also get into a weird microwave hack at Cosmo, Harry Reid finally putting TSA wait times online, the early look at Vanderpump Hotel’s casino changes, the rebrand of Resort at Summerlin, and yet another proposed NBA arena project for Las Vegas. đź“Ś In this episode: • BLVD’s progress on the Strip and whether it’s actually improving that part of Las Vegas • What current room-rate trends say about Vegas demand in 2026 • The long-running rumor that Luxor is sinking and where it may have started • Washoe County’s swing-ban story and a detour into old-school playground nostalgia • The Cosmopolitan microwave hack and the strange Caesars suite microwave clip • Harry Reid Airport’s new online TSA wait-time tool • A look back at the 1980s vibe of old McCarran Airport • Vanderpump Hotel changes and what they may reveal about Cromwell’s future casino look • Why Resort at Summerlin may be a smarter rebrand than people realize • A seventh proposed NBA arena project and whether any of these plans will actually happen What do you think was the biggest story here, BLVD, Luxor, or the latest NBA arena proposal?
