Episode Description

Bellagio's trees have been in the new more than they would have liked over the past year due to the F1 construction and the cutting down of old trees on the Strip. Unfortunately the replacement trees are now dying which is making Bellagio scramble to replace them....again.

In other #news the monorail shut down due to damage from Boring Company's construction on Vegas Loop. What exactly is the future of Vegas public transportation and why is it all busses? We also discuss free Chicken Ranch tours, Fontainebleau's pizza, looking for the best bagels in Vegas, Wynn's golf course, another Vegas casino expansion, Blue Man's poo donuts & which Covid closed casino will remain shuttered until further notice.

    cutting down 30 year old trees for a 3 day race event... brilliantly shortsighted
  • @mpf2006
    Brightline should take over the monorail and do that extension to the airport and from their new station
  • @REAL_MPSS
    Casinos used to have deals to get you in the door, now you can’t eat without reservations. There used to be very few restaurants outside of the Casinos, now they are everywhere. $10/slice of pizza is ridiculous.
  • I just moved to Vegas and ride the bus everywhere, it's a decent system with access to everywhere, it just takes forever. 60$ for a monthly residential pass. Lots of locals in parhump eat at the restaurant at Sheri's Ranch, it has good food/ decent prices. No need for any other activities lol.

    I stayed at Mandalay Bay last week. On Saturday night\ Sunday 3 am. A fight broke out in hallway 19 th floor. Girls and guys. Went on for an HOUR. They had food bags with them and food was every where. My room and several other guests said their room phone would not work to call security. Using a cell phone we tried to call the front desk. Recording said no one there til 8 am. WTH. Police finally came. Then cleaning crew working at 4am and later. Especially after the shooting there,,,,how could their security be so BAD. LAZY.

    The problem with the pay monorail is you have to walk all the way to the back of the resorts, which is about a city block to reach the station (Westgate excluded). The free ones are more convenient.
  • We saw Blue Man Group last year, used the MyVegas discount coupon. Splurged for front row tickets for us. 15-year-old was amazed with the whole show, my wife and I had a blast! If you haven't seen their show, use the discount as an excuse!
  • Dunkin’ Donuts was absolutely phenomenal up to about 20 years ago on the East Coast. It’s gone completely downhill.
  • Great information, as always, guys. Thank you for the video. I always recommend you guys to friends and members 👍🏽
  • @realrocker777
    The fish and chips chips at Ellis Island were massive. The babyback ribs were excellent!!!!
  • @fredk9999
    Look forward to your next presentation on Saturday . Thank you both
  • I totally agree with you on the monorail could have done great business if connected to the airport. So sad to see it go, sometime in the future..
  • I just called the Wynn golf course the other day. My wife and I are staying at encore to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and I wanted to bring my sticks. Although we’re staying there the round is $800 for myself and $125 for my wife as a rider. And even with that she is not guaranteed until the day of. That way they can fill the cart with another $800 golfer. It is maddening golf has gotten that expensive even for those staying on property. Bali Hei here I come!
  • I did notice Ellis Island when there back in February this year .I didn't stop to take pictures wish I would had, Happy to hear about their next expansion
  • This is what I never understood about the monorail: It’s so far out of the way that it’s somewhat pointless. You need a monorail to get to the monorail.
  • I'm just done with Vegas. Prices are just ridiculous. I have a six figure income and I can't afford a decent vacation in Vegas anymore.
  • We played at the Eastside Cannery a few times after it opened. It was ok. It used to have an entire room dedicated to coin-dropping slots, which were always occupied.

    The Westgate Halloween themed suite was the greatest thing ever, - I got the room for 2 nights for my friend’s birthday and she loved it soooo much. I had my average boring room separate from her all dark, horror themed “maze like” wild room that we invited a friend and watched horror movies with pizza and drank rum drinks surrounded by nightmarish fun! It’s way better than the hotel’s pictures show. I felt like we were the Munsters or Addams family, living in a dark fantasy room. I can’t stress how good it is! Totally worth less than $400 a night!!! (On weeknights)
