Fontainebleau went ahead with their dealer layoffs and announced the opening date and prices for their Tom Brady driven sports museum named Hall of Excellence. What will the Summer have in store for these properties?

In other news the April visitor numbers looked very mixed, but what is the overall picture and is it really bad? With Vegas struggling a number of deals are beginning to surface including an amazing Guy Fieri AYCE special, free parking at Resorts World and a Summer all-inclusive package at Plaza. We also discuss: Brian Christopher out at Plaza, taking a million dollar jackpot in cash, Primm is full, Flamingo continues to mess up check-in and we remember when Las Vegas was advertised as "The World's Best Vacation Value".
