This week we break down the 2024 gaming numbers to see where casinos are doing well in Nevada and where they are struggling. With over $4 billion in comps given in 2024 the casinos are brining in more revenue than ever, but the data shows a significant change in profit margins. Is it even possible for Vegas to be a budget destination anymore?

In other news a new casino world record has been set. Would you visit 110 casinos in 24 hours? We also discuss: Rampart casino and buffet, Punk Rock Bowling, Magic of Asia food festival, Badlands golf course debacle, Hard Rock construction, Wynn Al Marjah and throwing the dice at a stick man.
