This week we have the sign, the video, and the menu: it is real, it runs weekday afternoons, and it might be the best steak value in Vegas. Also, the Wizard of Oz turns one at the Sphere with a mountain of ticket revenue and upgrades on the way, including a new flight of winged monkeys over the audience. Kelly Clarkson goes viral and reignites our favorite argument: who becomes the next great long-term Vegas residency and why hasn’t she done better? Plus Boomer’s Sportsbook lands at Four Queens with a deposit match worth grabbing, Zoox robotaxis are officially serving the airport (pack light), Red Rock is closing Lotus of Siam and Naxos Taverna, the Raiders got their $75 million in public money for the bridge, and a developer wants to carve a whole new bypass behind the Strip. Would a Kelly Clarkson residency finally work? Let us know in the comments.
