Episode Description
Wet N Wild closed its doors 20 years ago to be replaced by a casino, but that project never came. All Net Arena tried to build on the site for a decade, but that recently fell through as well. Now a new developer is taking over planning an arena and the tallest building in Las Vegas. Will this ever get built?
In other news the March, 2024 visitor stats are in and there are some negatives, especially for Downtown Las Vegas. We also discuss $100 Circus Circus parking, credit card skimmers, Strat's birthday, a juicy Wynn rumor and how you can be a mermaid on your next trip to Las Vegas.
