With the exception of a few bright spots, the visitor numbers were down, gaming was under pressure and room rates were down as well. Are international tourists staying away and how will Vegas recover through the Summer. Is this just the beginning of the really bad numbers? In other news someone spotted a crack at the Strat, but it has been there for years so don't worry! We also cover the destruction of a famous neon sign, some cool free things you can do in Vegas this July, how Resorts World didn't want to comp a player, what they are planning to build in NYC and how Luxor continues to hide its theming in plain sight.
