本站添加: 2026-05-14

[00:00:11]Hi and welcome to the Las Vegas Advisor monthly update with Anthony and Andrew.

[00:00:15]Today is Wednesday, May 6th, and we're going to start with a quick announcement uh about our books.

[00:00:22]>> Yeah, you know what? Um we're going to talk about this at the end, >> the end of the show.

[00:00:26]>> Cliffhanger. Cliffhanger. Well, people who have who are waiting for our books uh two of them >> they are essentially at the printer and that would be uh breaking the slot code and um the ultimate report lockdown edition from James Gene.

[00:00:40]>> Right.

[00:00:40]>> And we got a special deal. So either watch the show all the way through, we'll talk about it at the end or scroll all the way through and you know pick it up at the end.

[00:00:48]>> Yeah, it's YouTube. You can scrub to the end.

[00:00:50]>> Yeah, that's all right. We don't want you to, but that's okay.

[00:00:54]>> All right. Uh big news uh going on in Vegas. This one just broke, Anthony. So, what the heck is going on in Prim?

[00:01:00]>> Well, nothing anymore, right? You know, apparently we, you know, we were going to start with Club Fortune North, right?

[00:01:06]>> Where also nothing is going on. We'll talk about that in a minute. But as literally, as we were getting ready to walk in here and shoot this, it comes out all over the net. That's uh Prim Valley Ranch, is that what it's called?

[00:01:18]Primal Valley Ranch.

[00:01:19]>> Primal. Primal Casino. Yeah.

[00:01:21]>> Yeah. Prim Casino in Prim has closed mean or it's going to close on July 4th or I haven't even read it. So, I'm just hearing you know what what people are telling me. But that will mean that all of the casinos in Prim are are now boarded up. They're gone. There's no more. Prim used to be like a happening kind of place on the way in from California, 40 miles from Vegas. You could stop, you could go on the roller coaster. There were three casinos to go to there. There are places to eat.

[00:01:48]Nothing now. Absolutely nothing. When I was 16 years old, the very first exposure that I had to Vegas was we we came over that hill and we saw Prim and we thought it was Vegas.

[00:01:58]>> I know. I know. I I remember that. I did that. You know, I was >> coaching uh wrestling in California >> and we would come to Vegas in a tournament and all the kids I'd be driving.

[00:02:08]>> Yeah.

[00:02:09]>> And you know, I was just like 18 years old or something like that, but I was like an assistant coach. I'd be driving and all the kids are like, "There's Vegas." And I'm like, "That's not Vegas."

[00:02:17]>> Yeah. Yeah. You know, but yeah, Prim was a kind of a big deal. You know, you had Whiskey Pete's out there and you had Buffalo Bills.

[00:02:23]>> I was 16 years old with a fake ID, Anthony. It was so much fun.

[00:02:27]>> Oh, you could get away with it in Prim, man.

[00:02:28]>> Yeah, we ran around. We threw quarters in the games. I mean, it was great. They still had buckets. This was the '9s.

[00:02:33]>> It's it's it's it's a shame. I mean, I don't know what happened. I mean, it it just everything dried up out there. But, um, apparently, we'll know more, you know, next time we do a show, we'll know more about it. But, as of now, it looks like everything closed as of July.

[00:02:45]>> Well, now we can get back to what was the lead. Uh you indicated Anthony Club Fortune North uh just crickets, huh?

[00:02:51]>> Yeah, Club Fortune North. That's the casino in North Las Vegas that is going to open where Poker Palace was, >> right? We've talked about that on previous >> Yeah, we've been talking about it for a while going it's going to open in March, >> right? Well, April, rather, you know, it's going to open in April. Well, April's come and gone.

[00:03:06]>> And not only did it not open, they did not announce a date.

[00:03:10]>> So, like you said, crickets. Just crickets. I mean, just not a word. So, there's not much to talk about other than to say we don't know when it's going to open yet. It should be the next one, but u you know, no news.

[00:03:21]>> You know, you may have heard of this by now, but uh you know, we haven't talked about it. So, the Main Street station, there was a truck that drove through the Main Street uh station like in the front >> went right through the front door and uh doesn't happen very often that that a car that a vehicle goes through a casino thing. Luckily, it was well, it was a boy property, so no one was in there.

[00:03:42]So, no so no one got hurt. I'm sorry. I had to throw that in.

[00:03:47]>> Ah, that's funny. Just comedy, just a joke. So, uh, that's hilarious. Um, >> apparently, I mean, I think that is that the the road goes straight and you have to make a a right or a left. And somebody apparently just went right through the light and didn't realize they had to turn.

[00:04:05]>> Oh jeez. So, they fell asleep or you know, who knows?

[00:04:08]>> Maybe. Yeah. And they went right through the front. I mean, the word was that there was no they weren't impaired. You know, they weren't impaired in any way.

[00:04:14]Like I said, nobody got hurt.

[00:04:17]>> No one was there. It went through, but uh I mean, we have to bring it up. You know, it just doesn't happen every day.

[00:04:24]>> Now, this is an interesting news story that's developing uh around uh the NBA and Anony's taken account of uh what's been circling this uh particular topic.

[00:04:35]What you got, Anthony?

[00:04:36]>> Well, this is the NBA arena.

[00:04:37]>> Yeah. All right. Now, we It wasn't really a big story until we did a count of how many different places say they want to put an arena in.

[00:04:46]>> Take a guess.

[00:04:48]>> I'm not sure.

[00:04:49]>> There's seven.

[00:04:50]>> Okay.

[00:04:51]>> There are currently seven arena proposals. So, Vegas needs one more sport to have all four sports >> and we have arenas for three. We There needs to be an NBA arena. And you could use some of the existing ones, but they don't want to. They want one that's dedicated, you know, to whatever NBA team comes here because the NBA has granted Vegas the ba basically preliminary okay to to bring a team here.

[00:05:15]>> So there's going to be a Las Vegas.

[00:05:17]>> It looks very much like you know there are many things that could go wrong, but it looks like but here's the u places that have given a proposal for an arena that want it. the Rio Resorts World a North Strip area which where Wet N Wild used to be. They were going to put up something called the Allnet Allnet Arena there. It's not going to be that one.

[00:05:38]It's another one. The mayor is lobbying for downtown.

[00:05:42]>> Okay.

[00:05:42]>> I don't know if she wants to put that in Cashman Field area or, you know, whatever's going on. But then there's three new ones. One called Star Vegas, which would be near South Point. And this wouldn't be just an arena. This would be an entire casino and hotel and everything else. Another proposal for Diamond Arena across from Mandalay Bay.

[00:06:01]>> Wow.

[00:06:01]>> And that would also, you know, be a big casino complex as well. And then a third proposal that we're calling MHA Casino.

[00:06:09]It stands for North Dakota. Three tribes, Amandon, um, Hadata, and Ericara Nation, if I read those right. But um that would be in the area that used to be I mean where the shooting was ac also across from Mandalay Bay. Y >> and these North Dakota tribes >> quietly amassed like I think they amassed like 23 acres.

[00:06:34]>> Wow.

[00:06:35]>> They bought it piece by piece and now they've announced that they're going to do a big gigantic casino hotel retail you know complex that also includes of course an arena.

[00:06:46]>> Right. Well, we've said before when the Native Americans come to town and kind of do these uh projects, sometimes the the locals get better deals.

[00:06:53]>> Well, yeah. So, you know, I mean, that's just more competition. Who knows if it's going to happen, but they seem they seem pretty um all of these places are acting like like they're they're serious. Um and all I can say is it's going to happen somewhere, right?

[00:07:05]>> I don't know where. I know I say this over and over again. I'd like to see it at the Rio, which is close to our office. That'd be fun, >> right? Of course. Uh also something downtown would be fun.

[00:07:13]>> Yeah. I don't know. I don't like downtown. I mean, it's it's I like downtown, but I mean, I don't like downtown for this. I think it needs to be more focal, >> okay?

[00:07:19]>> You know, closer in in where the action closer to the strip, but not on the strip because on the strip, it's going to get ridiculous with with T-Mobile, Allegiance, now the baseball stadium.

[00:07:29]Now, you're going to put an NBA stadium there.

[00:07:30]>> Yeah, that's that's a lot. It's kind of crazy. And it's also, you know, this is billions of dollars of proposals.

[00:07:36]>> Yeah. Big deal. So, anyway, we'll wait and see what happens, but uh anyway, there's there's seven in the race right now. When you think about Las Vegas Advisor, uh hopefully you think about value because uh you know what we value here? We we value. So, >> well, we do we do value in value and uh you know, I mean, what's what's been the the the knock on Vegas for the past 12 months, 13 months, 14 months is the lack of value, right?

[00:07:59]>> The narrative >> prices up and up and up. The narrative, as everybody says, the narrative is is there's no value in Vegas anymore.

[00:08:05]>> Well, I mean, there is. There always is.

[00:08:07]That's what's the LVA is all about. We go find it. We extract the value.

[00:08:11]>> Yeah. We extract it. We at least we find it. Yeah.

[00:08:13]>> But uh and then we extract it. But uh the casinos are um they're reacting.

[00:08:20]>> Yeah.

[00:08:20]>> And they're trying to do things. We've talked about things here and there and discounts and whatever. But what's happening recently is this all-incclusive idea. The all-inclusive is come to our place and you can have your entire vacation here and we're going to bundle everything for you. All those things you would want to do. You need a room. You want to see a show. You want to have food. you want, you know, we're going to put that all together for you.

[00:08:42]>> And over the past couple of years, places like uh the Strat Circa, they've had things like this. They call it their summer packages and all.

[00:08:49]>> Plaza 2.

[00:08:50]>> Yeah, Plaza is another one. And this year, MGM jumped on.

[00:08:55]>> Mhm.

[00:08:55]>> And so here are the places currently.

[00:08:59]um MGM Resorts, uh Caesar's uh Entertainment, Resorts World, Boyd Group, Circa Plaza, the Strat, Downtown Grand, all of them are offering these inclusive packages.

[00:09:11]>> Mhm.

[00:09:12]>> And we this issue of the advisor, we looked at them and we analyzed them. Uh by far the best one, it was shocking, but uh MGM, >> okay, >> it is it is a terrific deal at MGM. Now, it includes a room for two nights. You can only stay at Luxor or Excalibur. So, you can't stay at the better places.

[00:09:34]You're not going to go to Bellagio, you know, you're not going to go to to Manderly Bay, that sort of thing.

[00:09:38]>> You'll be on the south end of the strip.

[00:09:40]>> Yeah. All right. So, it's only those two, Excalibur or Luxor. Uh, it comes with it's for two people.

[00:09:47]>> It's $330.

[00:09:48]>> Okay.

[00:09:49]>> Two nights.

[00:09:50]>> Pretty good deal right there.

[00:09:51]>> That actually is a pretty good deal.

[00:09:52]>> 330 for two nights, but it comes with three meals for each person a day. Okay.

[00:09:57]>> So, six meals. All right. Now, these are not like anything you want, but there's a lot of restaurants that are in that.

[00:10:04]They might have special meals or something, but they're still it's it's pretty decent.

[00:10:07]>> Okay.

[00:10:07]>> All right. Show of your choice. Two tickets. That includes Blue Man, Matt King, uh uh Thunder Down Under, you know. I mean, several of them.

[00:10:15]>> Yeah. Maybe Keratop, something like that.

[00:10:17]>> Yeah, exactly. Keratop's one of them. It doesn't include Circ Fantasy, >> right? You can't go see O, but you can go see Keratop, which is a great show, by the way, >> or Blue Man. Yeah. I mean, that's a big time show. That's very cir like.

[00:10:28]>> Blue Man's an iconic Vegas show, >> right? And two tickets to the roller coaster.

[00:10:33]>> Okay.

[00:10:34]>> No resort fee. So that 330 is all inclusive as they're saying.

[00:10:38]>> Uh free parking. All right. So for 330 bucks, we added up all of the extras.

[00:10:44]>> And if you stayed at Excalibur, the extras, including the room, the room and the extras would come to $582. So, you're paying 330 for a $582 package.

[00:10:55]>> That's a great deal.

[00:10:56]>> Yeah. Or if you pick Luxor, it's the same. It doesn't There's not an upcharge. And if you were to say, I'm going to stay at Luxor, that would come to $693, almost $700 for this package if you were to buy. And I'm telling you, we were being real charitable in terms of saying, "Okay, let's go $20 for for breakfast." Well, the breakfast you're going to get, you're not going to get a $20 breakfast. So, it's really more than that. This is a really good package, >> okay? Okay. And you know me, I'm always banging on, you know, I don't like MGM.

[00:11:25]I don't like Caesars, but man, they they did good on this one.

[00:11:28]>> Okay.

[00:11:28]>> All right. The other ones are different.

[00:11:30]They're all different. Um, if you're an LVA subscriber, read this issue and you'll see what each one has.

[00:11:35]>> Um, Circa is an interesting one.

[00:11:37]>> Circa's always got great stuff. Uh, what they got?

[00:11:39]>> Well, Circa's different. Circus is sort of like a parters a parters thing.

[00:11:43]>> Oh, okay. And even better.

[00:11:45]>> Two Yeah. Two nights at Two nights at Circa.

[00:11:48]>> Okay.

[00:11:48]>> For 400.

[00:11:49]>> Okay.

[00:11:49]>> All right. Now, that sounds like All right. That's 200 a night. That's a lot.

[00:11:52]All right. What comes with it? $100 food and beverage. I mean, $100 food. Okay.

[00:11:56]And $100 beverage.

[00:11:58]>> Can I just say the food at Circa is fantastic. They have a few restaurants there and they're all really good. Every time I've eaten at Circa, just the quality, you know, whether you go to the Sagena Deli, whether you go to their burger restaurant, you know, it's just it's really good. Or obviously Barry Steakouses if you're going to spend a little money.

[00:12:14]>> And that's what's nice is it's not restricted to you got to eat here or here. You can use that $100 food anywhere you want. You want to go to Berries and take a hundred off your bill.

[00:12:22]>> Yeah. Right. Go get a Go get a fillet and take it off.

[00:12:25]>> $100 beverage. You go up to the Legacy Lounge, >> right? You go up to the top floor and you drink, you know, high-end liquor there for 100 bucks worth.

[00:12:32]>> Good times.

[00:12:32]>> It's pretty cool. It also comes with a free day bet.

[00:12:35]>> Okay.

[00:12:35]>> So, I mean, what's that worth? That's worth a, you know, whatever they charge that 60, 70 bucks, 100 bucks.

[00:12:41]>> This is the stadium swim.

[00:12:42]>> Yeah, this is at stadium swim. So, that's a fun one.

[00:12:45]>> That's a chic place to go if you're going to watch a game, you know, during the daytime. uh stadium swim. There's no sexier place to go watch the game.

[00:12:52]>> Yeah, the MGM deal is better for value.

[00:12:55]>> But for somebody who wants to be like cool and hip and, you know, you're younger and you want to come to Vegas and hang, this circle one's pretty damn good.

[00:13:01]>> Yeah.

[00:13:01]>> You know, good one at the Plaza for kind of that one's more for like a little bit of more of a a frugal, you know, it's a little bit less. Same with a Strat where you end up getting your room for about 25 bucks or free when you count all the freebies. So, there's a lot of good ones. Check it out in LVA.

[00:13:15]>> All right. Again, Anthony, it's a sign of the times. Another closing of another buffet.

[00:13:19]>> Yeah, this was uh a little bit surprising. Um the MGM Grand Buffet is going to close at the end of May.

[00:13:26]>> It's not one of the more popular ones in my opinion.

[00:13:29]>> No, it's not. And it's not one of the better ones, but it's not a gourmet one.

[00:13:33]So, it's like you're not having to spend 70 to $90, right, to go. So, it was like a middle mid-market buffet.

[00:13:40]>> Yeah. And you know, it is going to be good, you know.

[00:13:42]>> Oh, it's good enough. and and it was um it's one of the older ones. You know, it opened in 1993, I think it was, with with MGM Grand.

[00:13:50]>> Wow.

[00:13:51]>> So, it's been around that long, >> but um you know, there were 40 buffets, 40 plus buffets at its zenith before the pandemic.

[00:14:00]>> Uh now we're down to 10.

[00:14:02]>> Okay.

[00:14:03]>> And I thought, you know, we they reopened with about 13 or 14 of them. I thought we'd go up to 20. No, we're going the opposite direction. We're down to 10 buffets. Well, we've talked about people are building fancy food courts.

[00:14:13]You got one in the Rio, you got one at Resorts World, and you know, um, >> yeah, apparently that's the model they prefer.

[00:14:20]>> So, um, yeah, people who are thinking the buffets might be coming back, uh, don't hold your breath.

[00:14:24]>> All right, this is an interesting one, Anthony. This is, uh, Caesars, uh, is in the news for, uh, grabbing, uh, the Westgate sports book.

[00:14:32]>> The Superbook.

[00:14:32]>> The Superbook. Yeah, it's um you know the Westgate Superbook was the Hilton Superbook before one of the most famous sports books in the world.

[00:14:42]>> Yeah.

[00:14:43]>> You know, I mean there's like the big uh argument is who's the bigger better better now circa mega book there or the Superbook >> and out of the blue comes word that Caesar's entertainment Caesar Sports is going to take it over and >> run it. And that is like boy that sent a shiver through everybody in the sports betting world because again nobody likes the big guys MGM and Caesars. They're monolithic you know I mean they're monopolistic all of that. And you had an independent book making independent lines in the Superbook and that's no more.

[00:15:16]>> Well also uh you know Caesar's Entertainment owns the World Series of Poker and they've uh really you know grown that. Well, that's you you've basically probably hit on the reason they did this because everyone's going, "Why would they do that?" You know, why would they why would Caesars do that?

[00:15:31]They've got kind of their own financial problems right now. Their financial problems have to do with their their high debt load and everything else, right?

[00:15:39]>> Just listen to Vegas policy.

[00:15:40]>> Yeah, exactly. And um so why did they do it? Well, they I think they won the contest.

[00:15:48]>> Yeah.

[00:15:48]>> And the Superbook contest. And um they um they did that already as you just mentioned with the World Series of Poker. They bought the Horseshoe brand so they could get the the World Series of Poker. And I think that they're doing this with the sports book so they can get the Superbook contests and they're probably going to take a run at uh Circus lead there.

[00:16:11]>> Yep.

[00:16:11]>> And the way you know what's interesting is the way you know all the sports betters right now are lamenting what's going on. But this might end up being a good thing because if they're going to compete, they're going to have to offer an a mighty good product to compete with Circa.

[00:16:24]>> Maybe even an overlay like uh Derek does.

[00:16:26]>> That's the thing. Well, how did Circa take over from the Super Superbook, right? You know, Superbook was way far and far and away the biggest contest >> for football um in the world really until circa came and what did they do?

[00:16:39]They came up with a more innovative contest in terms of Survivor that people loved. They didn't take anything out of the prize pool. to give 100% back and they put those gigantic guarantees >> that everybody loved and that and everybody left the Superbook and went to circa. So if they're going to try to compete, they're going to have to do this more of the same kind of thing and this might be really really good for the consumer who likes to play the contest.

[00:17:04]There might be all kinds of great things to choose from, >> right? And also maybe different types of contests uh more innovation coming out of that uh area.

[00:17:11]>> I know. And it would be really interesting to see and you know what kind of guarantees will they make and so forth. Um they say that uh the deal is going to be done and signed. It's it's it's pending uh approval from the gaming control board, but I don't see that there's going to be a problem there.

[00:17:25]>> And uh it's going to be ready by football season. It's going to be very interesting to watch.

[00:17:29]>> That is uh very exciting. Uh especially for you because you do a lot of the competitions anyway.

[00:17:34]>> Yeah. Well, this is great for me and people who do play the contest. You know, one more thing that I guarantee you you're going to lose was for sports betterers. Sports betterers don't get a lot of comps. The comp rate is very very low in almost everywhere. But it was the highest one was at the Hilton.

[00:17:48]>> Oh wow.

[00:17:49]>> I mean at at Westgate.

[00:17:51]>> Okay.

[00:17:51]>> So I guarantee you that that rate's going to go down.

[00:17:53]>> Yeah. Yeah. For sure.

[00:17:54]>> C was Caesars at the helm.

[00:17:56]>> Well, but Caesars was actually pretty successful with uh the WSOP. So maybe they'll u be successful here too.

[00:18:03]>> We shall see.

[00:18:04]>> This is great. This is exciting news in Vegas for you.

[00:18:08]>> Uh yes, that's right. Uh I mean, unless you want to partake, Anthony, you know what? There's a lot of pools in Vegas.

[00:18:14]There's a lot of different choices, but LVA has done their pool uh what was it?

[00:18:18]The pool breakdown or >> survey.

[00:18:20]>> Survey. Okay. Uh what'd you find, Anthony?

[00:18:22]>> Well, we do it every year. Yeah. You know, we do we do the show price tickets. We do the the cost of rooms in July and December. And this was like the other big giant call around and survey.

[00:18:31]>> Another reason to get the newsletter, >> checking the pools. Yeah. And we only reporting now on the things that I think are interesting and important because we're not going to talk about every day club. You know, they're all over the place and we list them in the newsletter, but uh we we're not going to talk about them there. We're going to talk about the things that I thought were the most important. And the first is where are the topless pools?

[00:18:51]>> Where are the topless pools?

[00:18:53]>> You know, they used to be like the buffalo. They used to be everywhere like the buffalo. Now we're down to four.

[00:18:58]>> Okay.

[00:18:59]>> Um Caesar's Palace has one, the Venus Pool. Mandandalay Bay has one. Moria Moria, sorry. Mor Maria Beach they call it. Um, Venetian has Tao and Win has the European pool.

[00:19:11]>> Okay.

[00:19:12]>> Those are the four. Caesar's Palace, Menderly Bay, Venetian and Win.

[00:19:16]>> Okay.

[00:19:16]>> All right. Next. Where can you play?

[00:19:18]Where can you gamble by the pool?

[00:19:20]>> Where can you gamble?

[00:19:22]>> Basically, blackjack is what they're what they're dealing. Well, you remember the old days like I think we showed pictures of it uh where people could swim up and play and you know you got the >> uh so where can you play by pools these days?

[00:19:33]>> Well, the swim up pools there there were I think there were two or three. One for sure was a Tropicana which doesn't have that anymore because there's no Tropicana, right?

[00:19:41]>> There's uh and then there was the um the Hard Rock which is now Virgin >> and they don't have their swim up either and I think they did it for a while in Caesars's but these are all these are tables on the deck.

[00:19:51]>> Yeah. And uh what's interesting about this is that pretty much if you want to get in for free, you can tell them you want to gamble.

[00:19:57]>> That is the play.

[00:19:58]>> Yeah. And you'll probably have to gamble. You probably have to sit down if they watch you and all. You have to play a little bit, but that gets you in.

[00:20:04]>> Um it's a it's a it's a rule. You can't charge people to get into a place that has a gambling game.

[00:20:09]>> Okay. And we've talked about that with strip clubs, too.

[00:20:12]>> Yeah. Same thing with strip clubs. Now, you might get some static at the door, but that's what that's the law. So, anyway, here are the nine places that are dealing blackjack by the pool. Uh, Caesar's Palace, Circa, Wind Las Vegas, Encore, Flamingo, Fountain Blue, Golden Nugget, Red Rock, and Venetia.

[00:20:30]>> Okay, that's a good list. Those are uh some fun places to go uh play outside.

[00:20:35]>> Yeah. And I mean, it's fun to it's fun to play out by the pool. You know, you got all the beautiful women and good-looking dudes walking around and uh you know, it's it's cool.

[00:20:43]>> Absolutely. And again, I just have to say, you know, circa outdoor, we're talking stadium swim. uh you know what a great place to hang uh a great place to uh just you know have camaraderie.

[00:20:55]>> I actually heard that there was that uh that that circa had gotten some sort of variance about that that you couldn't just say you're going to gamble really >> and get through without paying the $25 entry fee. So keep that as a proviso in mind. But I would certainly try it. I would say wait a minute I'm going to play here man. You're not going to let me in. I've got a feeling it's a case by case.

[00:21:15]>> Okay.

[00:21:16]>> All right. And if they did do it again, I think it was an a variance. One other important thing, two pools, pool corner here in Vegas, pool corner is the corner of Flamingo and Valley View, >> okay?

[00:21:27]>> Where you have Rio on one corner and Palms on the other, okay?

[00:21:31]>> And the reason I bring that up is that both of those will allow um uh customers 21 and over to come in for free without even being casino guests.

[00:21:43]>> Okay? So all you got to at the you have to have a player's card at the Rio. All you got to do is show your card at the Palms at least as far as we understand and we're told you just have to be 21 or over and you can be a local or you can be a visitor and you can go to those pools and hang out.

[00:21:56]>> Uh and I did that last year. So if nothing's changed, you can just go and uh get into the pool and uh enjoy the Palms cuz uh it's one of the great casinos in Vegas in my opinion.

[00:22:06]>> Yeah, two good places where the pool should be pretty lively.

[00:22:09]>> And more value Las Vegas advisor value.

[00:22:12]Uh, let's talk about this uh burger at the dispensary.

[00:22:16]>> Dispensary? Yeah. Now, what's everybody saying? Oh, the uh the weed place.

[00:22:19]>> Yeah. Oh. Ooh. Smoking weed and eating burgers. No, actually, it's not that dispensary.

[00:22:24]>> But they do go together, those things, I'm told. The uh this is the dispensary lounge.

[00:22:29]>> Yeah.

[00:22:30]>> Which is located on East Tropicana.

[00:22:32]>> It's a jazz bar.

[00:22:34]>> It's It's a It is a jazz bar. They have jazz on certain nights of the week, but they've always been known for their cheeseburger, hamburger, cheeseburgers.

[00:22:42]>> Okay.

[00:22:42]>> And they always have. When we first discovered it, they were they were six bucks.

[00:22:46]>> Mhm.

[00:22:47]>> Right. $5.99. Um, now they're $16. These burgers with everything going up, they come with fries. $16 come with fries.

[00:22:56]Except on Wednesdays and Fridays from 2 to 7.

[00:23:00]>> Okay. On Wednesdays and Fridays from 2:00 to 7:00, those burgers are $7.

[00:23:05]>> Mark your calendars. $7 burgers. That's a good deal.

[00:23:08]>> These are great burgers, man. These are like legitimate half pounders. They come with the best toppings that I've probably had, you know, anywhere that I know of right now. Big slice of, you know, sweet onion, fresh tomato, lettuce. You get your ketchup and mustard on the side if you want pickles on the side. Uh the one catch is you have to buy a drink. So, if you're going there just to eat the burger, you'll have to buy a drink, but you can get a soft drink for two bucks, and that qualifies you.

[00:23:36]>> Okay?

[00:23:36]>> If you want a beer, it's going to be like five bucks. But if you play, you put 20 bucks in the machine. That counts as you're drinking for free. You now no longer have to purchase the drink and uh you can buy the burger at the bar >> and maybe you get a four of a kind.

[00:23:50]>> Yes, that's correct. And I'm telling you, this is a good one. And not only that, the dispensary lounge has been in Vegas. It opened in 1976.

[00:23:58]>> Oh, wow. It's old school. It's an iconic longtime thing. So, look it up. It's on u it's on East Tropicana. You know, it's probably about uh three miles east of the strip.

[00:24:09]>> And now we get to the end of the episode where we get the big reveal. Uh Anthony, what the heck is going on with Breaking the Slot Code? And uh you know, everybody wants to know.

[00:24:19]>> Yeah, we Okay, two books.

[00:24:20]>> Okay.

[00:24:21]>> Um they're printed. They're ready.

[00:24:23]They're uh supposedly on the way back with a you know um shipped back to us uh on a truck. And the first one is um I'll go to the I'll go to the second one first. The second one is uh James Gene's followup to the ultimate report.

[00:24:38]>> Right now James Gross Gene you always say is uh the best in the business.

[00:24:41]>> Yeah. He's the basically the goat when it comes to advantage play. Okay.

[00:24:45]>> And wait till you hear about this book.

[00:24:47]Um this is not for everybody. You'll know why in a minute. But uh the first one was the Ultimate Report. Now that's a $35 book that everybody can read and it tells you how to play all the Carne games, the best strategies for it. This is called the Ultimate Report Lockdown Edition.

[00:25:03]>> Okay?

[00:25:03]>> He wrote this during the pandemic. This is how you get gigantic edges on these games.

[00:25:10]>> Okay?

[00:25:11]>> And full disclosure, it's pretty much about seeing the whole card. All right?

[00:25:16]So whole carding in the games in the Carne games in in blackjack um it's something that is not illegal.

[00:25:23]>> Some people say well that's not you know that's not a legitimate way to play.

[00:25:26]Well it's gone through the courts and if the dealer is flashing a whole card you know and so you can use that information.

[00:25:33]>> Okay >> so there are pros that that's all they do. They're called whole carders and they go out and they play and they look for dealers who are sloppy. Right? It's incumbent on the dealer to protect your game. They're not using devices, you know, they're not laying on the table.

[00:25:46]Well, some of them are, but I mean, you know, they're just sitting there and if the dealer's sloppy, they're using that information. Gross's book tells you this one that's coming out that we will have in our possession within a week or so.

[00:25:57]Um, how to play them perfectly.

[00:25:59]>> Okay.

[00:26:09]>> We've never done a book for anything near that before. Uh, I think we did a book for 400 once. It was uh we did it in conjunction with Bear Sterns. It was a big almanac and I it was either 200 or 400.

[00:26:21]>> Okay.

[00:26:21]>> This one's $1,000.

[00:26:24]>> It's a hefty price tag.

[00:26:25]>> We have a waiting list of like 40 or 50 people.

[00:26:27]>> Okay. There you go, James.

[00:26:29]>> These are the pros that want to be on that want to do this. Yeah.

[00:26:31]>> Right. So, it's very exclusive information. I'm not telling you to buy it out there. I'm just telling you it exists >> and um it's going to be interesting to see how that goes. Okay.

[00:26:41]>> All right. But the other one, this is for this one's for the masses.

[00:26:44]>> Now, this one is for the masses. This one's for the husbands and wives and for the couples that want to go have fun throughout the casino and go look for uh >> look for some action.

[00:26:54]>> Look for advantage slots.

[00:26:55]>> Yes.

[00:26:56]>> Right. They call them variable state slots because they they change, you know, because as more people play them, they get closer to either must hit numbers or they get to to numbers where the odds now flip to the player. and Breaking the Slot Code tells you how to play 25 of those games.

[00:27:12]>> Okay.

[00:27:12]>> Um, that book is uh also done, printed, and on its way back to us. Has been a year since we promised it. So, a lot of people have been patient and waiting for it, but it's on the way.
