With Diner Ross, the 99 Prince bar, and the Glitter Loft closing, we get into what went wrong with the most hidden door on the Strip. Then the review we owed you: Shawn's Crockfords West suite, the hotel within a hotel within Resorts World, from the miracle elevator situation and a birthday cake surprise to a lounge server who treated a VIP perk like a squatting problem, and a bed that has no business in a luxury property. Plus a $17.50 bet that turned into $200,000, Carin Leon's same-day Sphere cancellation, the Boring Company's first big tunnel stretch just weeks from opening, Tape Face's pay-to-win Best of Vegas awards (we won one), a new reality show at Golden Nugget, and St. Thomas, the ghost town that spent decades under Lake Mead.
