Save big on Vegas with Las Vegas Advisor — get 10% off a membership with code MTM (new members, affiliate): lasvegasadvisor.com A loaded Friday show to close out the week. Caesars quietly brought back the free show benefit for Diamond and Seven Stars members, and this time it is better than ever with Absinthe, FlyLINQ zipline, Piff and more on the all-digital, app-based list. Penn and Teller just extended at the Rio for three more years to become the longest-running headliners at a single Vegas property in history, with over 12,000 shows, while Penn heads out on tour with Piff the Magic Dragon. Vegas police fought back against street-takeover drivers by shredding two seized cars and posting the video. We also get into the Golden Knights firing John Tortorella after his miracle playoff run, whether a pending Caesars sale could finally mean a new tower, a desert road trip to the UFO hotel and alien jerky shop in Baker, firefighter training inside the Tesla Loop tunnels, and a deep dive into the incredible Paul Steelman interview on the Plaza's On the Corner of Main Street podcast, including capitalistic obstacle courses, Macau, casino myths, and the jaw-dropping Resorts World that almost got built. Let us know in the comments which free show you would book and whether you wish we got Steelman's version of Resorts World.
