We break down Qantas launching direct Sydney flights to Las Vegas and what that means for the city\u2019s international growth, plus Metallica\u2019s newly announced Sphere residency and whether it could become one of the toughest tickets in town. We also discuss Bruno Mars getting a street named after him near Park MGM, the latest Eastside Cannery implosion update (including Longhorn\u2019s paid viewing setup), and a possible Primm sale that could signal major redevelopment at the state line. In other news we cover Wynn\u2019s hack follow-up, A\u2019s\/Bally\u2019s funding chatter, Plaza\u2019s new casino streaming room and several Vegas food stories including Bob Taylor\u2019s Ranch House earning a James Beard America\u2019s Classics honor.
