Shawn and Mark discuss the latest changes, plus a visit to Club Fortune South, where some neighbors have a gate straight to the casino. Also: North Fork Mono's familiar design, Hard Rock Tejon's expansion, California's casino competition, Wahlberg's Hollywood 2.0 update and Speed: The Ride. We look back at Halloween at Caesars Palace in 1966 and ask why nobody seems to move when a casino fire alarm goes off. Correction: Rio's alternative grand prize is $150,000 in Free Play, not cash. The house is valued at approximately $400,000.

Shawn and Mark break down the latest MGM and Caesars results, September's tourism and gaming numbers, and whether the discounts are enough to keep people coming. Plus, Downtown Grand's roughly $20 all-you-can-eat deal is expanding, which feels like a good excuse to head downtown. We also get into Sigma Derby's planned comeback, the Maryland Sphere's financing approval, Cowabunga Bay closing, and a few Philly cheesesteaks worth a closer look. There's player-card advice from Vegas Advantage, some debate over what makes you a Vegas local, and a Sphere intro that might give you nightmares.

Steve Wynn returned to Las Vegas to tell the story of the Mirage, and one moment with Derek Stevens stole the night. Plus TI, Luxor and MGM Grand all turn 33 this year, Circa has a $250 bonus deal for Nevada locals, and Laughlin's new "Keep It Floaty" ads left us with a lot of questions. We also nerd out over the spiral escalators at the Forum Shops. Is it time to implode OYO and start over? Let us know in the comments.

Rio's check-in lines are out of control, a popular local steakhouse showed up with chains on the door, and we have a Category 10 update that might change how you order there. Plus the Riviera site's surprise spot in the NBA arena race, the Venetian's new Metallica casino chips, and a wild Steve Wynn story that sounds like a movie.
