This week a lot of back and forth happened on social media as people debated everything from "000" roulette to the current state of the Vegas Sphere. With its losses mounting, will the most iconic venue in Sin City continue on to financial success or is its debt too much of a burden to handle.

In other news another new Hollywood studio may be coming to Vegas as Warner Brothers throws their hat in the ring. We also discuss the new Janet Jackson residency, a 1983 Vegas timelapse, Rick Springfield and EFX, what's left of the Mirage volcano, Venetian joining the union and how Bellagio fought back against social media rumors.
