Anthony - glad you enjoyed your visit and our fabulous buffet!

[@wumawattsup9750]

Let's show some love and support people; let's keep Vegas alive and kicking. Everytime I receive an offer I can't say no to from a Vegas casino, I try my best to support them. I love Vegas!

I was in Vegas the last week of may. The strip was busy. Basically looked like normal. Not many deals to be had, prices going up. Table limits on the strip were crazy high. Main floor baccarat at Luxor on Tuesday afternoon was $100 minimum. In the past I always found cheaper table limits at harrahs. No so much this time. Pretty much everything was at least $25 minimum. You guys are right about 000, and 6:5. All over the strip. BJ is pretty much uncountable on the strip.

[@davidsigalow7349]

I was in downtown LV this past Monday afternoon, and table minimums at Golden Gate and Plaza were all $15. $15 was the norm at Ellis Island the two evenings we visited, although on graveyard, there were some (packed) $10 tables.

[@AnthonyScottGames]

@@davidsigalow7349 ya I was talking about the strip. But good to know for my next trip. Thanks!

[@taniadablaing1321]

great show, I honestly really love both of your product. Las Vegas Advisor has been my go to for years, and it was through LVA that I found ACG. Great job, keep up the good work

[@Oheeeoh]

I'm still getting a fair shake in Downtown Vegas. I usually stay at four queens and play mostly downtown. I do like to scoot over to the Southpoint for their buffet and 9/6 Bonus Deluxe poker. Thanks for the update I'm going to Vegas in 2.5 weeks.

[@TheJackpotGents]

Thanks for sharing!

[@bradh8530]

We’re headed out in July too. Our plane tickets were triple what they usually are. It didn’t stop us, but I imagine it will stop other people from going. Hope to see you in the high limits room at the Cosmo, Matt!

[@emailuser8668]

If you play slots, the Wheel of Fortune megabucks machines are the slots gamblers love to hate because at least 4-5 times a year, a gambler hits a sizable jackpot on those slots at a participating casino. Cosmo is modern, nice, but expensive way beyond inflation. Sign up for the players card ASAP, get rated by a casino host, get as many comps as possible so you don't have to pay for anything. Enjoy your stay.

[@maxkelter3561]

Nice to know updates on LV news. Thanks.

[@bobberndt9744]

I wonder what is happening with the water situation in Vegas. Seeing the contiguous depletion of Lake Powell etc.

[@daa589]

I hate government meddling but outdoor pools should be seasonal... Like have them in the busy times and empty in slow times

[@jacksonnow5420]

@@daa589 How does the pools being seasonal help? It is not like you are constantly filling up your pool. You fill it once and maintain it. Having a pool year round is not causing the Vegas drought. Sounds like you do not have one.

[@ShimmeringPilgrim]

At the Lincoln Center in NYC, I saw an opera there. Rigoletto. I had bought cheap tickets that were basically the very very top tier in a standing section, very far from the stage. But when I tried to claim the ticket at the box office, there was an issue and they instead gave me a floor seat, maybe 30-40 rows deep. I was so close to the show without having to spend $1000 for a ticket. Anyway, my point is they had the Italian opera translated into English for me on a screen in front of me. It was one of the best concert experiences. Oh, it was also a Las Vegas themed version of Rigoletto. A terrible tragedy of an opera, but an amazing show. I hope to one day see a show at the MSG sphere!

[@dansantibanez1140]

Was in Vegas last week. Played mostly downtown, $1 blackjack, $5 craps, double 0 roulette with $5 minimum. Lost money but let us play all day

Sad news about Boyd and Station casinos. We aren’t locals yet but do have a house there and frequent both those properties. Coming to town Sunday for 8 days and spending two nights at the Circa for some pool partying.

There are more elites than middle-class sheeple.

[@emailuser8668]

The Las Vegas resorts have decided that they can stay profitable charging exorbitant fees with high spending visitors from California, the northeastern U.S. and Europe. They don't care about affordability anymore, basically ended 15 years ago.

Gamblers need to form trade associations, determine to act in concert and in their own best interests, and then randomly focus on a particular greedy business by boycotting. 48 hours later, focus on the next greedy bastards. Rinse and repeat.

[@shawnpugh6052]

Just a heads up. Stopped at state line on our way to Vegas today and Buffalo Bills is still closed

[@youdecide2696]

Stopped in Primm on my drive home about 12 hours ago. Buffalo Bills had the parking lot chained off, but the entrance lights were on and some of the hotel rooms lights on, but parking lot was empty. Strange scene

[@davidsigalow7349]

One of the reasons we made Palazzo our go-to casino was the absence of a parking fee. We just don't play table games there.

[@youdecide2696]

Visited Sunset Station twice and Boulder Station once during my visit last week. SS does have a $5 UTH table, BS only $10 tables. SS still had the Feast buffet sign and space up, giving me false hope it may reopen. BS has already converted buffet space to food court. We ate once at the Brass Fork at SS, we had Flo from Mel's diner as our waitress. $5 side salad was a joke, meal was ok, desert awful. No plans to ever eat at a Brass Fork ever again for $65 total bill (with tip) for 2 of us, with no alcohol.

Yes. We made a videos about it back in 2011 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6CZkKWZac9kZsU

Excellent interview. When the Hard Rock builds the guitar hotel it'll be an amazing sight if it's anything like Hollywood..I live 30 minutes from HR Hollywood. I continue to get offers from Cosmo and Venetian . 3 nights and a little free play. Hope to go in September. Last trip was May 2021 and airfare Ft. Lauderdale to Vegas was $340 RT for 2 on Jet Blue. I'm afraid to see what fares are now. .

[@emailuser8668]

If there are no hurricanes, the casinos on the Mississippi gulf coast are closer to FL, their tables games will have lower minimums, might be an alternative worth checking out.

[@johnnorwich9638]

I'll be in Vegas for a week on Monday. They been giving me some good comps but I do gamble a lot so that might be why

[@skinovtheperineum1208]

No, the reason why is that nobody with any sense would set foot in Vegas between the end of May and the start of September.

[@Henry_Fung]

@@skinovtheperineum1208 well, the pool people love it. Half your body in cool water and the other half baking. I don’t get it but whatever

We will probably do a new video on that subject in early August.

I’ll stick to my locals casinos in CA plenty of comped meals , hotel rooms without the resort fees so a comped room is really free , no parking fees , some free slot play , and match play for the tables. Why go to Las Vegas…

Not only the resort fees

[@jackpotdreams2954]

Yeah but Seminole Hard Rock Hollywood massively screwed almost every video poker machine. I mean 6/5 Bonus Poker??!

[@davidsigalow7349]

The other question - and maybe ACG can answer this -is whether you are getting a fair deal on VP at the Seminole casino. It was my understanding that the VP machines at Native American casinos were programmed to specific % payouts like the slot machines, unlike LV or Reno, where each hand is fully independent and the payout is determined by the pay table. If I am correct, the difference between playing a good or lousy vp paytable at Seminole will be negligible. Hey guys, can you answer that question?

I had an opportunity to stop by Vegas a couple of months ago, but.. i didn't. Why? Because I travel in an RV and there is zero parking in Vegas for an RV. So I went to Laughlin instead.... Vegas is killing itself... why would I pay to be there?? I can chose a bazzillion destinations other than Vegas, and especially when temps are 100°++... I would love to visit, but I can't even find a place to park without shelling out bucks ( what! Is this New York??) Corporate Vegas has it's head up the ol shoot, eh?

[@infraredlight1958]

Maybe stay at a nearby town & catch a bus tour would be an option.

[@skinovtheperineum1208]

@@infraredlight1958 - No, maybe spend your dollars elsewhere and watch as Vegas reverts to the arid vacant desert it once was.

[@youdecide2696]

Try the Gold Coast, they have a parking lot for truckers, which is much safer than the Wild Wild West. Main st Station and Circus Circus have RV parking, but both have high rates of crime in that area. I believe the Oasis RV park on Blue Diamond, off of LV blvd maybe a good option also. Stay away from Boulder Hwy is my advice though.

[@ligafftheindifferent3495]

Four Queens, a long time value in terms of food, lodging and gaming downgraded their bar top games and removed several other good games. There are now only 4 playable games in the casino. (9/6 JOB or better). The Palms is also a major disappointment. The 10/7 DB no longer gets points and they only have a handful of 9/6 JOB. Worse than that, the offer my wife received for some very heavy coin in as very weak and though we are local, it was only one offer for June-July. There simply is not any good news for video poker players in Vegas.

[@JoseContreras-gz8ny]

[@efibrilovski6374]

I had to pause this video less than two minutes in because the information given is very much incorrect. Station Casinos is not," gung ho, full speed ahead." On the contrary Station Casinos just announced they will not be opening three of their large casinos Texas Station, Fiesta Rancho, and Fiesta Henderson, which have all been mothballed, for at least another year at the earliest and that is a fact.

Never ... that would not be good for tobacco industry ... sheeple need to stop smoking themselves.

[@AnthonyScottGames]

Park MGM is no smoking

[@emailuser8668]

Good question, most Nevada casinos allow smoking, it's a big enough of a turn off to some slot/table players that it's resulting in lost business. The casinos don't understand that demographics aren't in their favor, there aren't enough smokers to keep the casinos going, they should've eliminated smoking in the casinos 20 years ago.

[@Funlu]

How are the ashtray companies going to stay in business? Who’s thinking about them

[@davidsigalow7349]

I did see a $10 craps table at the Mirage on Thursday night, other craps table was $15. Put $20 in $1 reel slot to see what would happen, 10 spins at max $2 bet, did not win one dollar. The volcano show which use to be about 10 minutes and entertaining, was an anticlimactic 4 minutes, and really not worth the rideshare drive there and back to downtown. Was not a fan of the "new and improved" Fremont street experience, rather go see a freak show.
