While the venue and company are far from out of the woods, they turned a profit in the 2nd quarter (sort of), extended the Backstreet Boys residency and continue with plans for expansions. We discuss the latest. In other news Las Vegas is paying F1 another $20 million in sponsorships as they extend the race through 2027. How is the LVCVA combating the slowdown and what else do we have to look forward to? We also discuss: the fire at Sahara, Circa Survivor's cool welcome kit, debunking another round of Circus Circus rumors, how to become a Fremont Street performer, winning $442K, Oyo's renovations and loss of Hooters plus where to find your favorite NFL team's bars in Vegas.
