Vegas is changing fast and this week we cover all of it. The coin-op machines keep vanishing now that Cal pulled its bank of coin-drop video poker, leaving only a handful of spots and around 140 machines left in town. Wynn is swapping out its famous carpet for the exact same design, which sparks a Wynn vs Bellagio personality debate. Drag legend Frank Marino is retiring after 41 years on the Strip, Rocky Horror Picture Show is heading to the Sphere in 2027, and the Museum of Ice Cream opens at Area 15 on July 3. We also break down the Resorts World vs MGM Grand poll, the first legal crypto bet in Nevada history over at Circa, and Derek Stevens turning Fremont Street into a stage for the most ridiculous Vegas parade you will ever see, all to celebrate a Sigma Derby machine that loses money. Let us know which story you loved most in the comments.
