Episode Description
This week Virgin Hotels took another move towards unifying the property under one leadership group. This time they took back management of the hotel from Hilton, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Will all of these changes including the ouster of Mohegan Sun mean a brighter future for this property?
In other #news the Sphere announced their next act and it is a big one. We also update you on Mirage and Tropicana demolition and discuss a new speakeasy magic show, Tuscany's great free play offer, a crazy $1.2 billion sports complex, ice bars, rats and Strat's insane failed coaster project that we all wish would have been built.
