Episode Description

This week Tropicana closed its doors for good, but the property was open for nearly 67 years and featured many phases of its existence. From a fancy place for the affluent to play to being one of the first corporate owned casinos, the history is vast. What is Trop's lasting legacy and what should we remember about this historic property plus what should we choose to forget.

In other #news a new hack for hotel locks has been exposed and thousands of hotels are not protected. Should you take matters into your own hands? We also discuss high tea Vegas style, a crazy gambling mistake, Antique Roadshow and Pawn Stars, what Peter Luger's massive dry aging room looks like plus which bathrooms in Las Vegas are worth going out of your way for.
