Description

In Episode 85, Chris and Josh dive into the things they miss most about classic Vegas—from long-lost shows and cheap eats to themed casinos and coin slots. They also tackle listener questions about video poker accuracy, comped rooms, and partial marker payments. Plus, a few surprises from the Crap Vegas Big Wheel.

  • Vegas nostalgia takes center stage: Mirage Volcano, Bally's moving walkway, dealer-tainers, and the original Cromwell experience

  • Listener Ben asks how accurate you really need to be at video poker—and Josh flexes his 99.5% stats

  • Sarah wants to make a partial marker payment before heading home; Chris and Josh break down when it works (and when it doesn't)

  • Andrew wonders if he can get two comped rooms—yes, it's possible, but not guaranteed

  • Dealer Rick from Wynn shares a tip and a surprise

  • When is the best time to pay your markers

  • On the Big Wheel: Poker rooms ban chips from other casinos, and some morbid conventions in Vegas.
