I just spent two nights at South Point, and it felt like a throwback to the value of Vegas 20 years ago. I'm not a huge player, but they mailed me two free nights (no resort fee), $40 in free play, and $100 in resort credit. I had dinner at Baja Miguel's upstairs, two breakfast buffets, and a dinner buffet, all for under the $100. They've got decent VP payables, $5 3:2 Blackjack, $1.50 hot dogs in the afternoon, nice spacious room with a desk, bistro table with 2 chairs, fridge and safe, free parking, etc, etc. They were also running a promo where if you cashed in $25 in points, you'd get a $50 Walmart gift card. I'll definitely be back.
I do not expect Southern California residents to drive 1-3 hours to the Rancho Cucamonga train station, park their car at the station (leaving it vulnerable to vandalism), enter the station and wait 0-2 hours for a train, then sit on the train for 2-3 hours into Vegas, having no vehicle access once they arrive. Makes no sense.
Almost everyone sees that plain as day, yet the bureaucrats move forward. How can so many smart people be so stupid? I think the answer is that people are going to get paid. Jobs will be created, and they really don't care if the train never, ever pays for itself.
I live in Rancho Cucamonga and it’s easy to get to Rancho Cucamonga from LA. A train takes you from parts of LA to Rancho. No need to drive.
Tourists picked up from LA and Orange County hotels will be shuttled to Rancho Cucamonga for the train. Not necessary for locals to use at all.
Don’t forget parking fees which will spike up during long weekend n regular weekends.
They never think how you actually get to the train. Most people live where there is exactly zero public transportation.
I agree with your comments on the Sphere…they should have daily shows for varying prices (reasonable or $$$)
My favorite prime rib 🥩 deal is at Siegel’s 1941 restaurant at El Cortez in downtown Vegas. Ask for the “Prime Rib Special” which is only $16.95 and includes baked potato and vegetable. Great deal! 😋
One of the better deals down there now.
Mark: "For $400 you can get a flight" ??? Try $50!! I haven't driven to CA in years. Flights between LV and LA/Burbank/OC are always dirt cheap. I've never paid more than $150 round trip. If you're willing to fly Spirit or Frontier, they have dirt cheap rates if you buy enough in advance. (Same goes for Denver and Salt Lake etc.)
This train is going to have to be affordable and competitive. But Brightline has been successful at doing this in FL, so I have confidence it will open on schedule.
Cheap flights LA to Vegas? Was Dylan McDermott the captain????😂😂😂 IYKYK
I can pretty easily find Austin Texas to Vegas for under 250
I was at the Paris several months ago and had the same issue. You can't check in until 4pm or they charge you a $25 early check in fee. That means if you are standing in front of a kiosk at 3:59 pm, you must wait 1 minute to avoid the fee. When I was there I asked the customer rep walking around and she said it was because Eldorado bought Caesar's properties and they "Nickel & Dime" you to death. She did not speak well of the Eldorado Group. I only go the MGM properties now.
Meanwhile, if you arrive at 4:05 and your room isn't ready until 5 or 6 or later, you get nothing.
Wow! What a price find on Southpointe for prime rib. Thank you.
Fantastic buffet for the price as well. Late night NY steak and eggs for $6.45 starting at midnight daily at their Coronado Cafe. It's edible!
@@realrocker777 thank you. The Las Vegas we remember (pre Pandemic)
I’m calling BS on that “most Insta-worthy” list. Cosmopolitan not on there at all? Plus, there are a lot of old casino names on there, beyond SLS. Bally’s has been the Horseshoe for over a year now. Hard Rock closed in 2020 to become Virgin. And Monte Carlo became Park MGM in 2018. Shenanigans!
100% agree, but the guys agree too! I tried looking up casino sweeps and couldnt find them. Bellagio should be #1! The fountains, the gardens, and that chocolate fountain…no casino has more instagram worthy pics and videos. Second would be Wynn, but what the heck is at Caesers??
It’s exactly why I don’t touch the Windows in the Hotel rooms. Some of them were built a long time ago.
😬
YES!!! They're doing the Rancho Cucamonga to Vegas train route FINALLY! In all seriousness, it'd be a great boon to the desert communities like Barstow in allowing access to the main portion of L.A. County without needing to tackle the Cajon pass, but it'll allow for more traffic to Vegas as well.
I'm disabled due to a misdiagnosis years ago, and there's a severe lack of certain doctors out here in the High Desert, and this could help expand medical access to a great number of freaks like me.
I also was recommended a video of Phish's opening number and... although I love jam bands, and love the venue and Trey's musicianship. .. I cannot stand Trey's vocals. I am sorry, but this Dude cannot abide.
As for bands I'd love to see in the Sphere...:
Slayer
The String Cheese Incident
David Gilmour (he's currently recording...!)
Coheed and Cambria
Mastodon
Iron Maiden... but ONLY if they focused their setlist on Fear of the Dark and earlier
That being said, are either of you in town mid-September? We'll be in town mid-month for a "color"ful show. Thanks for all y'all do!
I ran into a line like that at Planet Hollywood last year. There were 2 people working the check in desks. Nobody was using the kiosks so I just sauntered up to one, checked in, got my keys and was in my room and had luggage & back down to play before the people in front me in the line was at the desk.
Whenever we see videos like this it seems to be at Caesars properties for some reason!
@@Milestomemories That could be the best piece of advice ever on this channel!!
Go get drunk come back at midnight
@@Milestomemories Because nobody ever uses the automated kiosks. There's never people using them even when the counter line is long. Either people are really averse to technology or ignorant. In fact, Caesars properties let you check-in the morning of your stay, so it makes getting your keys at the kiosks even faster.
I just love Wynn/Encore! ❤❤ Anytime you mention this casino I get all excited. 😊
As a resident of South Florida, where Brightline has been operating for 5 years between West Palm Beach and Miami, and recently extended to the Orlando airport, let me say how great this train service is along a traffic corridor nightmare. It is great to zip along at 70 mph+ while traffic is stopped on I-95. Fares are around $100 one-way MCO to MIA. The coaches are very comfortable with WiFi drink service and comparable to the best trains in Europe.
It’s a great product for sure and I think many will take it to avoid the I-15 headache.
I normally couldn’t get my husband to go to Las Vegas. We went to the U2 show and he loved it so much that we are coming in June to see Dead and Company . I swear that venue is special . We are coming from a 6 hour plane ride so that puts in to perspective. We love it and it gives me a reason to get back to Vegas❤️❤️❤️❤️☮️
I agree it’s special. Seeing any band there should be great. That’s why I am doing Dead and Company as well.
I stayed when it was SLS it was nice, none of these hotels need to be charging a resort fee though. It's not Atlantis.
Speaking of trains. This morning I was driving back to California from Las Vegas and saw a semi trailer towing one of those high speed passenger rail cars.
Wow, that's awesome!!!
Caesars got a huge publicity boost from the Hangover movies... I bet that's a factor in its social media popularity.
Great episode as always!!
Thank you!
Mark gave me a great idea sideways. He said, "I'm surprised they don't have a second movie there by now -- " and I was distracted, thinking, "They don't show movies there." Then I remembered but suddenly the idea of showing an ACTUAL movie there blew my mind. I despise STAR WARS but what if the original film was re-purposed/re-made to fit in that theater. Where people say, "You haven't actually seen STAR WARS until you've seen it there."
Someone check and make sure Boeing didn't put that glass in that fell😅out. Great info as usual guys, thanks!
I’ve stayed many times at L V. My favorite buffet was at Wynn. On weekends, it is even better.
Long lines to check in is a no go for me. I would most likely do as you mentioned and check my bags and go elsewhere for a few hours and hope it is less busy then. As for the start of Brightline train service, I see it as a win for the area. Brightline is doing great on their Florida service and I am sure they will also provide a superior service on the west coast service. As to pricing I am sure they will be competitive on price with the airlines. Remember train seats even in coach are greatly better than any airline coach seats. They also have a much easier security screening than the airport so that also helps in terms of time wasted. They also want to compete with driving to Las Vegas so the price can not be too high or people will continue with driving regardless of the traffic.
I find it curious they put the $400 price out now without any incentive to do so. I'm sure they'll have to go with what the market dictates but saying that number now just turns people off. I too think it is a good project for the area and I hope it is successful.
Glass falls out of buildings in Houston Texas when we have high winds from the occasional hurricane.
Hey guys I had never heard of Phish the rock band till the sphere was built and you guys started to mention them maybe playing there. I will listen to their music later on tonight.
Hi guys thanks for showing the nightmare to check in at Paris. I'm going to be there for a couple days for a staycation over July the 4th I think I'll go there at lunch time leave my luggage and go exploring! Thanks for a great informative video as always!
Thanks for watching!
Brightline West’s website says its route from Rancho Cucamonga to Las Vegas is 218 miles and will take about 2 hours and 10 minutes. I think the drive time by car is about 3 1/2 hours without traffic.
It is 220 miles (from station to station) so depending on one's speed it would be under 3 hours, but slower drivers would definitely take 3 1/2 hours and that is without traffic. I saw the time quoted door to door including check-in, etc. at 3 hours, but maybe you could cut that down to 2 1/2 by arriving really close to departure. Time savings is marginal but there is often traffic, especially at high demand times which puts the drive time much higher. The key is going to be how convenient it is to get to the station from wherever once is coming from in the Los Angeles area.
There's ALWAYS traffic these days... like ALWAYS. We did the OC to Vegas road trip more than 40 times last year. Time of day only matters to the severity and slowness of traffic and travel times.
Maybe hotels could organize check in times better. I know there is a turnover between check out and room cleaning, but not every room is booked every day. With computers they could spread it out more evenly. With everyone checking in at 4 pm or later no wonder it’s busy. Obviously some rooms are available earlier as they charge for early check in.
"The Train to Rancho Cucamonga" sounds like a bad Humphrey Bogart movie.
Sounds like horror movie. lol
Sounds like money being shoveled into a bottomless pit to me.
You should check the video by CityNerd who analyzed the train vs driving or flying from various locations in LA. He did a really good job and concluded in many cases the train wins on time alone. Remember in many cases in peak hours at the weekend that drive can take many times the optimal time for driving.
The key problem is how far out the LA terminus is - if they could get the remaining track in LA electrified taking the train to the main LA Amtrak station it would make a huge difference and the train would win in almost every case.
"Everybody loves a good swinger in Vegas". Indeed we do Shawn, indeed we do.
🥁 🕺
@@Milestomemories LOL
Paris has a VIP diamond checkin room on the left when you walk in. It’s kind of a hidden door, don’t wait in line if you’re diamond or better
I heard one of the guys from Phish on CBS News over the weekend mention that they'll be back. Makes sense--the visuals seemed so overwhelming (on a par with U2 for sure) that to make this a regular thing seems natural. Gotta think Dead & Co. has the same idea--it would suck to have to look at thirty-story closeups of John Mayer or Mickey Hart all night.
Supprised the tropicana didnt get a boost during closing foor the #'s
One of my memorable incidence stories of Vegas, was when a large family of relatives 2 adults and 6 kids joined us in Vegas for a family event. They were staying at the Riviera Casino before it closed . The story is this was the first and only time they would visit Vegas. They went to their adjoining rooms on the 10 th floor, the kids rushed in an immediately ran to look out the huge windows, fortunately they didn’t go hands first to touch the glass ,because there was non glass in most of the windows. Could have been tragic. Needless to say they got new rooms at a discount.
Agree with Mark!
I like the new outro music!
Ceasers being the most posted is another indication of the popularity of themed casinos.... word to future developers.
Anyone who has sat in the parking lot’ish traffic of Cajon Pass will definitely consider taking the train. I myself will still being taking a plane out of Ontario airport.
hahahahhahahaha..... LIVED THAT NIGHTMARISH TRAFFIC HELL MANY, MANY TIMES! oops caps lock lol
Exactly what I would do. Drop my bags and go do fun stuff, come back around midnight when the line should be gone
Good luck to Brightline in Rancho Cucamanga. Still quite a distance from Union Station L A and Anaheim. And, pricey.
Caesars Palace has been named in songs and pictured in countless movies
I’m sure it’s gonna be free parking at stations with round trip. Worth price for couples planing to partying 👍🏽🕺🏽💃
The travel time on Brightline between Vegas and Rancho Cucamonga is expected to be about 2 hours. The 3 hour travel time you mention includes the Metrolink transfer to LA Union Station. Also, there has been no official announcement on pricing. The CEO of Brightline mentioned that the price could eventually hit $400 for a round-trip, but pricing will definitely be variable and based on demand. Introductory prices will be much lower.
At $400 it's doomed. Round-trip LAX-LAS is frequently less than half of that on a weekend, and takes less than half the time. They will have to compete on price to even be considered.
I fly direct from Washington DC to LAS for about $550 (direct both ways). $400 from LA is absurd
Now that I know it's going to be that expensive I don't even understand why they're doing it. America is going to cease being a country before we figure out how to do mass transit well, apparently.
If you’re not from LA, you should know Rancho Cucamongo is (A) Not in LA County (basin? sure), (B) CA visitors drive, use our own car, and no time being saved AND (C) this isn’t for LA, it’s for San Bernardino!
Glad I don’t do weekends in Vegas. Wait is always short midweek. Also, that line to turn onto I-40 in Kingman on Sunday is a killer. Last October we stayed for the first time in Mesquite at Virgin River. The night we stayed was a Sunday and the check was n line was pretty long for that kind of casino. Used the kiosk for a much shorter experience
Hey, Kiss started the indoor mini-golf craze in Vegas! ;)
Peter Luger is the reason Ceasars is up on the instagram list all about what's new. I'm sure sphere would be up there, but it's not a casino.
I live in Rancho Cucamonga and it’s easy to get to Rancho Cucamonga from LA. A train takes you from parts of LA to Rancho. No need to drive.
Yeah I think for people where it’s an easy connection that makes sense. Of course depending on where you are in LA it could take quite a while to get out there.
Now that's awesome. You won the Brightline Lottery. Congratulations!!
The 10 fwy is no picnic, especially coming out of LA, but I hear you. It is a fairly "straight shot" from there.
The big problem with this train is that it’s beginning/stopping at Rancho C.! Not really in LA! So now we have to make a long trip to Ranch C. then we take the train! It’s crazy. I’m not going to do that! Plus $400 for a ticket!!! Would rather just fly! Much easier. Cheaper too.
Yeah I think people who live close to RC will like it but others who have to spend an hour or more just to get there may not see it as positively.
from los angeles proper i can get a ticket same day for a 50 min trip and a meal in the airport
I just don't understand why Caesars will not do mobile check in. I love MGM provides that option. There have been times I've been checked into my room mid flight. I open the app, see my room and make my way to it. Get with the program Caesars!
We stay on weekdays and arrive before 10am. If we saw that line we would check our bags and go have fun. It costs less then $400 for 2 tickets to Vegas from San Diego. Also it looks far from the strip so I either have to rent a car or pay a poop ton to Uber.
the Brighline map shows a Station Marker for Victor Valley after Rancho Cucamonga. Maybe that's why the trip will take 3 hours.
Victorville is the scary, dangerous armpit of humanity. I stopped there 2 times in my life, and both were harrowing. I'd rather drive through Compton.
$400!!
I can get round trip to Vegas from Cincinnati on Allegiant Air for less than that. 😵
No kidding. I can use free charging for our EV (near home and in Vegas) and paid Tesla Superchargers along the way. 600 miles of round trip driving - plus hundreds more miles depending on stay length - sometimes runs into the 10s of dollars! 🙂
Oh, and autopilot does most of the driving.
As you yourself stated Rancho Cucamonga is not Los Angeles It is at the very farthest corner away from Los Angeles in LA county where the train stops the last train stop for the metro rail nobody is going to use this We live in Woodland Hills My kids were laughing by the time you get to the train station you'll already be in Vegas if you go on the plane etc etc etc It might get built and nobody's going to take it
You live in one of the most western parts of LA county, so you're probably not in the target audience of the project.
When bright line expands towards downtown LA, I think they'll attract a good amount of customers. Especially if the 15 continues to get more traffic
Glass absolutely fell out at the John Hancock building skyscraper in Boston years ago. It does happen.
Scary to think about with all of the glass buildings around.
Turn it up world was live streaming in the area just after it fell
Love the high speed rail to LA. You boys might want to calculate the I-15 South parking lot on a Sunday. I think it's great.
It definitely will beat I-15 weekend traffic!
Need to tear down Frye's - super duper eye sore at this point next to the PopStroke
If the sphere movie pricing was better, I think a LOT more people would go. One reason we have not gone yet. We can enjoy the outside for free instead of a Taxi, upwards of $300 for 2 people, food and drinks which makes for up to $500 for a one and done event. Would easily pay more than a regular theater, but their prices are ridiculous.
The trip is 1 hour and 50 minutes per the news conference from Vegas to RC
Come on guys. It's 220 miles from Rancho Cocumunga. IF you could average 70mph it would be 3h15m. Also, the metrolink connects to the Rancho station from LA. What's your guys beef with Brightline? You said it would never happen and now you claim it takes longer than a car.
I think the thing with the Brightine is if there are any stops between Rancho and Vegas and how long the train remains stopped each time. Also, it might go up to 200 mph, but how far does it have to travel, miles of track, to get there. It can’t just zapped off even if it had the power to it; you want your passengers to stay in their seats and uninjured. However long that is, it will likely be close to twice as long to decelerate/brake for the same reason. Will it cross/be crossed by any roadways? Have to slow down for those, too. I’d figure 1.5 to 2 hours for the trip one way if there are no stops between and add 15-20 minutes for each additional stop.
I lived in Rancho Cucamonga for 26 years and visited Vegas twice a year. It took me 3.5 hours averaging 70 mph. No way you could be there sooner unless you’re doing over 80.
Brightline doesn’t bring you to the strip, it brings you south of the airport so you still have to commute via cab/Uber to the strip. Uber/cab is going to add ~$50 and probably a half hour.
Not to mention those who drive to Vegas likely want to have a car while they are here.
You can literally already take a flight from LA to Vegas for less than $100 round trip even on short notice. The train doesn’t solve literally any problems…
@@TheHawk686 Except for those afraid to fly, or for those who live near Rancho Cucamonga. It probably won't survive. It's probably better to widen Route 15 to deal with congestion.
You can drive that at 95mph easy
Don’t forget , The Encore and Wynn was born out of the mind of the great Vegas Visionary Mr.Steve Wynn he will always be too me the greatest Owner and Casino operator Las Vegas has ever known , and I for one miss his input immensely.
South Point prime rib is really good. It isn't hard to get in on Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday without a reservation. Just be aware it isn't open on Monday or Tuesday.
Thanks I didn’t note the closed dates when I was there. Absolutely most restaurants there don’t need reservations which is good. On a Saturday not a bad idea but I don’t think the wait would have been terrible even then.
Their Garden Buffet has prime rib (carving station) 7 days a week too. I like all of their restaurants. Great values and specials at South Point always.
mandalay bay could be aquarium pics, and the house of blues shows bumping it up and i bet they didn't exclude any hangover movie related posts with a caesar's tags, haha.
...and HOB Foundation Room and Mandalay/Delano's Skyfall lounge too.
Wouldn't it just been better to use the money to add an extra lane to the 15 North? I agree with the earlier posts that you really aren't saving any time in the commute and definitely not saving any money being in Vegas without a car.
I'm sorry but that makes too much sense so it must be ruled out out-of-hand.
If you look at the list of mentions, there's alot of still well themed hotels at the top. Kind of makes you wonder when we'll see more themed hotels?
It's common for Paris to have long check-in lines, but I have never seen it spill out that far into the casino. I am staying at the Horseshoe right now and the check-in line Sunday at 3 was longer than I have ever seen it. I am not sure there was an issue with Paris' systems. I think it was just a day with a very high number of check-ins everywhere.
Didn’t see Cosmo on the list at all and I see it more than anything on IG
I read the guy that does the lights for Phish was hired to do the lights for the Rio reno
3.5 hours from the Antelope Valley (Northern LA County) to Vegas with no traffic or stops. $400 round trip from Rancho Cucamonga to Vegas in WAYYYY too much!
Yeah the train in Florida goes for sub-$200 most days and with specials even cheaper. They’ll have to come close to that price point I think.
@@Milestomemories - Orange County Ca is where most of the California money comes from to begin with. Without a station in mid or south Orange County, I just don't see a lot of people driving to RC just to catch the train. I'd love to ride it at least once, but having to still drive over 100 miles round trip and leave my car in Rancho Cucamonga are both deal killers for me
Perhaps the law of unintended consequences is cropping up for Bellagio. It's hard to take Instagram videos of the fountains when they are closed for F1/Superbowl and the sidewalks are impassable!
Best concerts ever. And I’m 200 deep.
Rancho to Vegas in 2:45 is best case, no traffic, unless you drive like an absolute maniac. It will be interesting to see the actual travel time and prices, and weigh that against driving or flying. I have to imagine drive time will get better once the train is going.
Did you notice that 'instagrammable' list didn't include Cosmopolitan at all? And nothing downtown. But some non-casino hotels down to 100 hashtags?
Yeah, Brightline is crazy expensive. Here in South Florida, they now want $54 to go from Fort Lauderdale to Miami... EACH WAY. $108. It's like 25 miles.
I’ve seen Miami to Orlando for $69 in advance and I think $99 is the normal fare. Crazy they are charging that much for the short trip. Maybe they are trying to encourage longer riders?
The market will dictate the price. I guess we’ll have to see if it will all be financially viable but I am rooting for it. Expensive or not they have a nice product which will appeal to some.
Did you say $400 from LA to Las Vegas?
@@Milestomemories - Exactly. Well put.
Hey Shawn, Did Criss Angel try to make that window on the Strip disappear ??
I wonder if that list of hotels, for social media pics, was based on last year’s numbers. Almost 6 months of last year things like the Bellagio were blocked by F1! That would def alter which hotels would have access to the things people usually take pics of.
I laugh when Mark starts to laugh
I mute when he laughs, he laughs at everything funny or not
If anything the train will open up the high desert including Victorville, Barstow and baker to further development when stations get built there.
There will be a stop in Apple Valley for the Victorville area. A lot of people living out there now too so I wonder if they will utilize it much considering the shorter drive.
@@Milestomemories If the price is right I can see people taking fast trips to Vegas from the high desert. If it's over $100 per person forget about it. You can carpool with 4 people for 20 bucks each worth of gas in a car.
@@oo-kk4rv - Or drive an EV for a few bucks. Just saying.
@@realrocker777 and EV's are getting better every year as well.
Mark missed his opportunity to say he's surprised Tiger Woods didn't partner with swingers golf.
What!!!! Chris Angel couldn’t make the lines at Paris disappear?
I've been to Vegas countless times and have never stood in the check in line for more than 5 minutes. To see that kind of line at Paris is just ridiculous. I would've left, find another hotel, check in and enjoy my time in the city. To stand in line for that long just to check is a waste of time!
They’ve been talking about that LA-LV high speed rail for 25 years 😂😂😂
Frontier flights from SD to LV are $125 or less, so they have to make those train tickets cheaper than $400!?🤷♂️
Talking about it yes but this is the first time it ever had funding and all of the other regulatory stuff. I’m not saying it’s a done deal because half is privately financed but they have enough to get it going pretty far.
So yes it’s been a dream a long time but it’s much closer than it has ever been to being a reality.
Frontier and Spirit are little more than exercises in futility, human suffering, and masochism. I love myself, so I would never do anything like that to me.
The high speed rail zealots never stop because it's always somebody else's money they are wasting. Either tax dollars or venture capital. Utopian central planners have always had a train fetish.
i wonder how the lighting is for night golf and how late it's open
They have lighting so it should be good for night golf. Open to 11pm weekdays and Midnight on the weekends.
Would never wait in a line that long.
It was the same in November
Wait.....The FTC just passed a ban on "No Compete Contracts"......He'll be at Fountaine Blue next Monday, 8 AM sharp.
Train takes longer than driving? Crazy. Only in America. And Rancho what? It should run to Union Station.
Surprised you could see any visuals with all the smoke.
That window that fell out, is that a Boeing office?
Open table LOL. Just call the restaurant.
That restaurant did it via Google and OpenTable so it took about 20 seconds. But yeah calling could work too.
Frank Zappa is a big influence on Phish. Frank would NEVER play the same show twice, and he would also change up his lyrics to keep them fresh and in-line with current events. And they didn't practice their solos. Improv is the soul of live music (or should be).
I think it’s very cool that they do this often. Makes it great for fans who go to see them!
Who knew a little band from Vermont would end up at the sphere?
If Brightline is really going to charge $400+ rt, I'm just going to continue to fly to Vegas.
The drive from Rancho Cucamonga is actually 3.5 hours without traffic….I drive that all the time
It's 220 miles from station to station. That's only just over 3 hours at the speed limit. So I probably should have said 3+ hours.
Why’s Cosmo not on that list at all?
Should be as successful as Amtrack.
Definitely a much nicer product if their Florida train is any indication
Thank you to our hosts for this Tuesday segment. Good, eclectic content with graphics
They need to do a Star Wars exclusive movie just for the Sphere
"Return Of The Disney Stock Price"
But seriously, that sounds absolutely amazing. Great idea. You should reach out to Disney and the Sphere with that idea.
