Vegas Gang #9 – “Harrah’s WLV?” – May 30th, 2008

Vegas Gang #9 is now live.

In prep for this episode I came up with quite a few stories, honestly most of them pretty small – no big blockbusters… Some interesting stuff but no big, whopper item to sink our teeth into.

The story on Las Vegas logos is here: http://www.vegastripping.com/features/feature.php?feature_id=142&page=1

Well, we went through a lot of those stories, with some good insights. Then, at the last minute, Jeff Simpson lets loose with an interesting theory – what would happen if you combined Wynn Resorts and Caesars Entertainment? Well, of course everyone had some thoughts on that one… Have a listen!
