Episode Description
Despite some conflicting statements, we learned this week when the sale of #Mirage from MGM Resorts to Hard Rock International will be complete. We’ll talk about when The Mirage will die and come back as Hard Rock plus what this means for construction timelines. Will this effect the Formula 1 race in 2023?
In other #news Las #Vegas room rates once again set a record in September, 2022. Things don’t seem to be slowing down. We’ll also talk a potential $72 million sportsbook payout, how the Oakland A’s are closer than ever to coming to Vegas, the International Anime Festival and how MGM has now banned filming on the casino floor in the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas.

I record the rooms are they stopping all recording
Vegas is off my list now. Safety is an issue, High prices are also a problem. High prices and low to no service is not my idea of good value. I don't mind paying higher prices but I have to feel like I am getting excellent service and a CLEAN room plus I would actually like to be able to get into a restaurant and eat without having to wait hours or make a reservation way in advance
GO BIG BLUE
I like to film my bonuses
Would someone PLEASE address this D Lucky dude? I'm waiting for a full blown expose on this guy. I can't seem to find anything online about him other than his own videos and website. Where are the negative reviews? They can't ALL be winners!
Higher room rates and then have to pay for resort fees? It may make me visit less often. I think some hotels charge for housekeeping. I was also considering moving to Las Vegas if and when I can retire in several years from now. No public funds to help professional sports! I like to record when I win on the slots. Unfortunately, I haven't won the last few times I visited Vegas. Watching YouTubers win makes me want to play at a particular casino. So vloggers help the casino. It benefits that casino, so not allow filming?
The room rates have gotten out of hand. I am lucky that I can get a 2 or 3 night comp for a standard room at any MGM property, but the upgrades to suites are outrageous. Very disappointing how prices have gone through the roof and service has gone in the opposite direction over the last 2-3 years. It's just pure corporate greed.
Unbelievable
Wasn’t fun playing there anyway, charge to film ? No way, better options out there.
As someone who works in slots on the strip, I understand the banning on filming, we Totally don’t care, but there has been some crazy YouTubers coming In promising guests will win and charging them. That goes against gaming regulations on so many levels.. if you wanna film a bonus for fun! Absolutely we don’t mind at all.
Always great commentary. Perhaps the most balanced. We have been coming to Vegas for over 25 years and we are disappointed in many of the major changes. Prices are not just hotels, but food and any activities that may have once been used to lure people to Vegas. Hotel operators and the city need to be careful not to take all of the increased cash flow for granted. It's all relative, but I hope other organizations enter the market to capture some of the original magic of Vegas without the crazy price levels.
Check out the room prices for the F1 race in November 18th 2023! Ridiculous… $400 a night is the cheapest and the F1 tickets start at $500. Looks like I’ll. be watching from home 😔
The talk of influencers makes me miss the casino tours you did during the pandemic.
Mattresses are notoriously one of the highest marked items in the home. A luxury mattress costs like $30 to make and they sell them for $2,000. That’s why you can negotiate like 75% off regularly at mattress stores.
7:30 I HATE that people do this. I don't want to be on TV while I'm in a hotel in Vegas. If I am on your show, I need to get paid for it.
I take photos of my great line hits, or " big wins". I joke that there are more photos of slot wins than photos of my grandson on my phone…lol. And yes, I do like seeing the people I watch on you tube at the Cosmo. I have met several of them there, and it is a big thrill for me.
I love the Mirage. So so sad 😭
The comps suck anymore 😮
My wife and I are fairly serious players so we get our 3, 4 or 5 night stays fully comped. There's no way in hell I'd pay nearly $200 for most of the rooms on the strip.
Blame this on D lucky. He ruined it for everyone. Charging $1500 for the " D lucky experience " I believe this is why you can't record at MGM anymore.
I just got back from Vegas. I hate the sad reality that The Mirage is changing their brand to something else. If Hard Rock wanted a Hotel, get the Excalibur and demolish the Dump! Haha good Ol Mattress Mack of Gallery Furniture! HE IS AN AWESOME GUY!
December it’s all about taxes they will get huge tax breaks if done in December
They stopped Vegas Low Roller from filming just yesterday. His is one of the Best Channels out there, but he isn't an affilliate of the Cosmo. They serve Diet Pepsi anyway and he likes Diet Coke (not a sponsor!)

Why should any city pay for pro sports stadiums? The A's should move to China and see how that goes.
I've done it but I don't show it to anyone.
