Episode Description

This week Fontainebleau Las Vegas continued with their efforts to attract more guests by going all-in on locals. Previously they revamped their rewards program and added other kickers like slot tournaments, but now they have added a ton more. Locals can get free parking, 20% off food, $125 rooms and more. But is the free parking love spreading to other guests as well?

In other news Caesars giant new stripside club is progressing, but does it change the feel of the property? We also discuss: the great Guy Fieri tequila heist, fall room rates, MGM's downgrade of Cosmo's signature drink, saving the Desperado roller coaster, Universal on Groupon and why White Whale sounds like a cool bar, but we don't know what it will look like.
