  • Gondola Giggles
    Aug 17 2025

    We have had a good run without technical difficulties, but we had an audio issue this week on Chris's feed. We were able to save the episode using a backup audio feed for his channel, but it won't sound as good as usual this week. This has been corrected for future episodes, and hopefully, it will never happen again. However, due to some crazy travel schedules, we had to use what we had. We hope everyone still enjoys the episode!

    • Listener feedback on why Vegas is different than local properties

    • Josh goes to Vegas

    • Thoughts on Lavo @ Venetian

    • A very long walk

    • Craps fun at lower levels

    • Is Golden Gate's table gaming removal a glimpse into the future?

    We hope everyone enjoys the episode and we will catch up soon!
