Very accurate list, especially D Street Exit on I-15. Head on a swivel, this is one of the most dangerous exits, due to traffic, speed, and distance to merge, I have really ever seen.
It's a great sign of your success when you have some people criticizing you for how you pronounce a casinos name or call you out for saying a different name for a game like miniature golf. Great work, guys. Have a good day off.
Mark's always being quite honest and calls it as he sees it. If a host praises everything and doesn't ever have a bad word to say about anything, people know he's not being genuine.......and one day he might end up having to work for Criss Angel or some other horrific job somewhere instead. Nobody wants that. People appreciate their honest thoughts regardless of how some may perceive and nitpick at them.
On the whole, it’s miniature golf. Putt-Putt was a regional/national chain of miniature golf courses and was popular enough that it became something of a universal term, like Kleenex, or Scotch tape even those are just one of several brands being sold.
@@grottorabbit It's "miniature golf" for us older folk...many venues also had in-ground trampolines. Local ice skating rinks were also popular back in the day (60s-70s).
VH, Dio, Ozzy, Zeppelin, Sabbath and other top acts are completely done. Motley Crue has a residency, but without Mick on guitar, it just isn't the same. Not much left other than bands with 1-2 original members. Great White is really good with their current singer, but I digress.
I was in there all the time from '92 thru the early 2000s. They had cool old slots like video dog racing and other weird stuff. I loved that place. Even the Chinese restaurant in their tiny food court was awesome. Cheap beers at the bar. They were a dollar. New Vegas sucks. It's a joke. I've been here almost 33 years and 92 thru about 2005 were amazing years. They need to get back to that era of service to their patrons, not just the ultra high rollers.
@Miles to Memories 17:24 The change in earnings is not about whales but about Vegas travelers (whales & regulars) realizing that strip casinos are becoming too greedy with their terrible games (triple zero roulette, tight slot machines, 6 to 5 blackjack) and terrible loyalty programs with harder to earn comps & worsening rewards. These numbers are much worse than you think: Tropicana closed down but it was not bringing much gambling revenue. However Fontainebleau opened this year, has a packed casino yet the numbers are STILL down from last year! This means that the rest of the strip is likely having a 4-6% decrease in gambling revenue! Meanwhile downtown has continued to offer great games (double zero roulettes, 3 to 2 blackjack), provides more comps than ever & has maintained the services offered by its loyalty programs, which is why it is showing a massive increase in gambling revenue! It is likely that more people are now choosing to gamble in downtown instead of the strip for the reasons I mentioned.
@@realrocker777 Absolutely! And consider this: If you spend a lot & earn 20,000 points with MGM, you get upgraded to MGM Pearl which offers no useful perk other than free self parking but not valet! For valet you need 75000 points! I did the math: You'd need to stay for over 100 days per 365-day year (!!!) at 23$ per day just to break even on what you spent (assuming average game odds) vs what you gained with this loyalty tier! With Caesars, you need to reach Platinum which requires playing/spending 15k to 50k to gain 5000 tier credits. Caesars version gives free valet but then again, at 40$ parking fee per day & assuming normal game odds, you'd need to use free valet for over 300 days during a 365-day year to break even! It is worse with other loyalty programs. In other words, loyalty programs are absolutely trash!
We call it putt putt as well. We went to Laughlin for the first time recently. We only stayed one night and didn’t gamble much, but we had fun and plan to go back.
Putt Putt is/was a brand. When I lived in Denver there were several there. Not fancy by today's standards but they were really well crafted and maintained.
Your phone is listening to you because of your security settings. Word to the wise, adjust the phone settings that allow “microphone access” as well as location sharing.
Did you know that Putt-Putt is a trademark from a guy in North Carolina that wanted a mini-golf course that people could play and get better at. At one, and maybe still Putt-Putt golf centers host championships (I think televised, at one time, IIRC)
It started in Fayetteville, North Carolina in the 50s. My father actually played at the original Putt Putt as a kid. They still exist, as far as I know, but I believe Putt Putt has its own rules from other mini golf. Regardless, as a NC native, I refer to mini golf generally as "Putt Putt" the same way all cotton swabs are "Q Tips".
I actually stayed at the Quad at one point, I was unaware they were the same rooms as the ones used for the IP. The LinQ is okay but I hate that they removed the walkout balconies.
They started renovating while it was The Quad so there is a chance you got a new room. Took a bit and then they rebranded when the rooms were finished.
Thank you to our cohosts for this fun segment. Go! Buffaloes! Our hosts are right. The whales and baccarat players prove that gambling (chance) is for the casino operators, too.
No surprise, Laughlin is losing money. Have stayed at just about every property there, and they all suck as far as the rooms go. FILTHY. Best place to eat is at In and Out Burger.
Here in Michigan it’s called Putt-Putt. Not being disrespectful, that’s just what it’s called. We say Pop instead of soda also. Apologies to beverage industry workers.
Having different words for stuff just adds flavor. I personally love to say Putt Putt only because Mark exposed me to it. Either way it’s never been meant as an insult. Still can’t get myself to say pop though. 😂
Its quite the opposite: Caesars is selling assets because it is broke & has a cash problem. Recall that Caesars is a management company & most of the hotels under its umbrella are owned by other companies. Caesars is just renting. For instance, it pays 1 million per day for Caesars Palace & 87 million per year for Harrahs. Caesars, by itself, does not hold many assets. A company uses assets to borrow, and Caesars is selling some of its biggest assets like candy which means that it may start to have difficulty securing loans in the future. To make matters worse, Caesars just sold an asset that was generating a stable revenue: one that it could have used to pay for its liabilities.
The reason for having to get rid of the name "TheQuad" was very specific. In Chinese culture four or "quad" is the least lucky number in the world, especially for Asian gamblers. They went from Imperial Palace, good, to the Quad, bad. Asian visitors quickly went elsewhere.
It’s not a Ferris Wheel, it’s an observation wheel. Ferris wheels were originated in Roodhouse, Illinois, and are the county fair type rides with open seats that hold two or three people.
The original “Ferris” wheel (named after its creator) was built for the Chicago World’s Fair, also called the World’s Columbia Exposition of 1893. It had what were essentially train passenger cars, holding up to 24 people. What we think of as Ferris wheels now with the small 2 or 3 passenger seats came much later.
What about if you want to use your Caesars reward credits in a Caesars own property in the link promenade what happens now? Can you still use them at Gordon Ramsay's fish? Or are you not allowed to use reward credit points since Caesars doesn't own the link Promenade anymore?
Ask ANYONE how the slots have been paying recently. I REALLY question the ~ 95 % ish payback. In May and October we hit several bonuses at about $4 a spin, one had SEVENTY TWO free spins and paid UNDER 10 bucks. Many others paid under $30 total. I don't mind losing as I fly to Vegas for free, stay for free and have Diamond benefits plus at least $1200 a year in reward credits ( xfered from Wyndham) for dinners, etc , another $200 in CET Diamond dinners, $175 per trip in free MY Vegas slot $$, etc,etc Add in many strip VP bars now want $40 in for a free drink and after the 1st drink the free drink light takes a lot longer to light on 6/5 machines AND many VP bars are only giving basic drinks and beers.......PH and Paris no longer comp drinks while playing VP off the drink menu. Waitress service gets worse while playing slots gets worse every trip and if it's busy forget about it, maybe get service every hour We are cutting down to one six night LV trip a year and so many people we meet say they are also cutting back
There has been and still is a Putt Putt miniature golf operation for about 50 years in my suburban Philadelphia area. To us Putt Putt was a major brand name for first class miniature golf courses.
In the industry observation wheels like High Roller are still considered a type of Ferris Wheel. Definitely a lot falling under that banner though so saying observation makes sense. It is Sphere for sure but they also have called it about 5 other names including Vegas Sphere and Sphere Vegas. But you’re definitely right there technically is no “the”. Thanks Ralph!
According to the US inflation calculator, $12 in 1980 would be about $45.92 in today's money. Keep in mind that modern venues & musical equipment are more advanced than in 1980 (monitors, less standing room and "festival seating", computer controlled lights, tune correction, etc.).
@@westsparks6844 I remember the ticket price because I kept the stub, so that is a hard question....but I believe about $1.50 would have been the price of a beer at this kind of event, probably $1.00 for a soda. I can't remember if food was offered, but I don't think it was.
Risking sending people to sleep. Stuff I miss in Vegas. During the seventies / Eighties the freebies the real cheap hotel food and drink prices. Some said it was the safest city in the US back then ( We know why ). I miss tipping the theater door guy to get a seat close to the stage. I miss the Macaw Parrot's on the walkway at Tropicana. Now owned by Heidi F in Pahrump. I miss the theme park that was behind the MGM Grand. A more recent miss The animals behind the Mirage. Stuff comes stuff goes I get it however as you get older memories mean more and more. Only the US could come up with an adult playground like Vegas. It's still great !!
I remember my wife and I going to as many casinos as we could and signing up at their player’s club so we could get a free t-shirt, cap, shot glass, etc. Ended up with a dozen or so player cards hanging from a cord. Good times.
If people are that triggered by using the phrase “putt-putt” I think you should put it in every show and keep brining it up every 3 minutes like an egg timer 👍😁👍
I’ve been saying for awhile, Caesars Entertainment is in trouble. Caesars Entertainment reported $598M in Interest Expense on Debt for its fiscal quarter ending in September of 2024. Servicing their debt can’t go on forever.
I used to be a Caesars stockholder due to holding the stock of the company that merged with them. The company that acquired Caesars came from being a small racetrack-casino company that grew through merging with other casino companies. With each merger they took on more debt so the Caesars of today really is not like the Caesars of several years ago. I sold my stock at a nice profit due to my having bought the old racetrack-casino company at realitivly low prices. People who have bought Caesars recently are buying into a heav debt burdened company that has been loosing money partly to the large debt and lease obligations on the properties they own. That is why they are analyzing and selling assets that they feel are not core operations and can be sold to help meet their debt obligations. At some point the company may have problems finding enough properties to sell at high enough prices to help especially if the economy slows down and people come less frequently and spend less at the casinos they will still hold!
1) Swag is free stuff advertising something else, merch is stuff you buy with advertising on it.2) Stayed at Imperial Palace and Linq but don’t remember any time it was called The Quad. Must have missed visiting Vegas during that period.
Caesar's needs to sell some of their casinos so they can't run them into the ground like they did to Rio. Rio is multiple times better off now. I think you guys are better off without subscribers that can't handle the truth (cue Jack Nicholson) about putt-putt golf. 🤣
But seriously folks, I cant bring myself to pay those ticket prices months out to try to beat a sell out. But having looked into the Sick New World festival in April and the Reddit thread on it, it seems it is fairly common for the show to sell out but then so many not able to go that in the last week tickets are available for far less. Hopefully this festival would be the same. While I can't see myself buying tickets a half year to a year out and then planning a trip, I can see myself planning a trip that bridges the dates anyway, then looking for reasonable price tickets the week of.
I miss the days when a singer walked out and sang their songs and it didn't cost a fortune to see them. I could live without all the pyrotechnics and backup dancers. Mark is fine... he's the yin, to Sean's yang. It is PUTT PUTT.
@@JimboInTheHouse1 I don't personally go to any church on a regular basis, but I've been everything from independent stripmall Pentecostal churches to a mega church in a theater, and they all pass the plate (or have a box) for you to put money in, regardless of who sponsors them. The key is they all have talented singers that come out that you don't have to formally buy a ticket to see. 🥰
The Quad was renamed because of its association to the number 4 which is an unlucky number in many Asian cultures, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, because it sounds similar to the word for "death". Apparently this resulted in a loss of Asian gamblers so they rebranded again and just used The Linqs branding. Probably to save money.
i don't know why you keep crapping on the south end of the Strip. when i started coming to Las Vegas that's the area I stayed and the hotels, pools and casinos were always busy. yes, you don't have that major cluster**** of people crossing (or dangerously crossing) the streets like the mid-Strip area but the south end has thousands of hotel rooms that get filled up and the people don't always head towards the mid area.
And BTW pretty sure I’ve been consistent recently in saying I thought it was going to happen. Didn’t see a way Fisher would allow it to fall through given how much he stands to make. I’ve also made sure to cover the rumors if that’s what you’re talking about so people have the full story. And of course we’ll cover this on our next show. No conspiracies here. 😂
I like putt putt, but Mark errs in believing that viewers think he actually knows what he talks about. Always enjoy the show, the awkwardness seems to add to its charm.

People who have bought Caesars recently are buying into a heav debt burdened company that has been loosing money partly to the large debt and lease obligations on the properties they own. That is why they are analyzing and selling assets that they feel are not core operations and can be sold to help meet their debt obligations. At some point the company may have problems finding enough properties to sell at high enough prices to help especially if the economy slows down and people come less frequently and spend less at the casinos they will still hold!
1) Swag is free stuff advertising something else, merch is stuff you buy with advertising on it.2) Stayed at Imperial Palace and Linq but don’t remember any time it was called The Quad. Must have missed visiting Vegas during that period.
Caesar's needs to sell some of their casinos so they can't run them into the ground like they did to Rio. Rio is multiple times better off now. I think you guys are better off without subscribers that can't handle the truth (cue Jack Nicholson) about putt-putt golf. 🤣
Putt-putt from Louisiana
Thinking of starting a drinking game. Take a shot every time they say “stuff like that” or “all that stuff”.
I hope you have fun!
Putt putt is much more fun to say
Agreed!
@@Milestomemories Hey Mark & Shawn, we watch every Tuesday & Friday! Love the show… Y’all on Vacation? We missed Tuesdays Show.
Why can’t they partner with movie theater chain and play Netflix movies?
😅 ain’t no way that dude was so butthurt on Marks jokes. This ain’t the channel for him if he can’t take sarcasm😂
When we were young had me, then I saw Simple Plan and they lost me.
But seriously folks, I cant bring myself to pay those ticket prices months out to try to beat a sell out. But having looked into the Sick New World festival in April and the Reddit thread on it, it seems it is fairly common for the show to sell out but then so many not able to go that in the last week tickets are available for far less. Hopefully this festival would be the same. While I can't see myself buying tickets a half year to a year out and then planning a trip, I can see myself planning a trip that bridges the dates anyway, then looking for reasonable price tickets the week of.
Dani.702 got paddled on one of her last videos...
Haha I have no desire.
It sucks that these real estate speculators tear a building down and then take forever to build a new building.
Sean it is FU1
They should get Kevin Bacon thank you sir may I have another.😊
Putt-Putt is a brand, like Kleenex. All tissues are not Kleenex. All sodas are not Coke. 🙂
I miss the days when a singer walked out and sang their songs and it didn't cost a fortune to see them. I could live without all the pyrotechnics and backup dancers.
Mark is fine... he's the yin, to Sean's yang. It is PUTT PUTT.
There's still a place like that - church! 😂 but even they want money
@@FlyLikeDove you must go to a small church, the bug ones have Starbucks sponsored rock bands.
@@JimboInTheHouse1 I don't personally go to any church on a regular basis, but I've been everything from independent stripmall Pentecostal churches to a mega church in a theater, and they all pass the plate (or have a box) for you to put money in, regardless of who sponsors them. The key is they all have talented singers that come out that you don't have to formally buy a ticket to see. 🥰
You will see the continued reduction of profit and attendance for 2025 as it costs about $30 for a sandwich and drink. Not sustainable
The Quad was renamed because of its association to the number 4 which is an unlucky number in many Asian cultures, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, because it sounds similar to the word for "death". Apparently this resulted in a loss of Asian gamblers so they rebranded again and just used The Linqs branding. Probably to save money.
Chinese are too superstitious.

Putt putt. Night putting
I saw a guy get paddled OMG I was sore just watching it.
The paddlers were busy during my recent visit. Smack after smack.
I don’t think they'd like me as an F F1 reporter!
Chris Angel ✅️
Laughlin ✅️
Haha. All I’d talk about is the carpet!
Enjoy your Tuesday off. What a Tuesday this will be. Folks will be watching election results.
Thank you Fred!

Putt Putt is a lot better than Mini Putt.
i don't know why you keep crapping on the south end of the Strip. when i started coming to Las Vegas that's the area I stayed and the hotels, pools and casinos were always busy. yes, you don't have that major cluster**** of people crossing (or dangerously crossing) the streets like the mid-Strip area but the south end has thousands of hotel rooms that get filled up and the people don't always head towards the mid area.
What, no mention of the A's financing? You guys were negative on this project since the beginning, now that its going to happen you ignore it
It broke after we recorded. Bad timing. Need a little lead time to get the show edited.
And BTW pretty sure I’ve been consistent recently in saying I thought it was going to happen. Didn’t see a way Fisher would allow it to fall through given how much he stands to make. I’ve also made sure to cover the rumors if that’s what you’re talking about so people have the full story. And of course we’ll cover this on our next show. No conspiracies here. 😂
17 easy payments of 17.99
rip bacc their gonna punish those players and take away the tables lol
hey, the guy was PUTT HURT! is it mini golf? who cares!?
👏👏👏👏
I like putt putt, but Mark errs in believing that viewers think he actually knows what he talks about. Always enjoy the show, the awkwardness seems to add to its charm.
Putt-Putt is way better than mini golf
Other than making you sound like a five-year old.
@Scantronimus466 I'm pretty sure adults made these Putt-Putt signs on these Putt-Putt courses
Why only woman being paddled? Lol😂
Haha I didn’t even notice that until I was editing it.
