We dig into why Caesars might be the real winner of the MGM and Caesars buyouts thanks to all the Strip land it still owns, whether Caesars' new $199 Ultimate Steakhouse Tour is actually a deal (spoiler: we're not sold), and the casino shakeup that lands The Pass with the free-food crew at Rainbow Club and Emerald Isle. Plus Four Queens turns 60, a beloved Hugo's Cellar sommelier retires after 41 years, Sigma Derby gets its own Fremont Street parade, a 90s themed speakeasy that falls flat, the downtown Low Line park dream, and the big question to close: is Oyo in trouble after falling behind on its taxes?
