#141: The Royal House - Don’t Know About it? You Will.

March 7, 2012

In Las Vegas, where news about our hotels and casinos are often doom and gloom (Fountain Bleu, Echelon, etc.), it’s refreshing to find a property that has successfully bucked that trend. In this episode of Living in Las Vegas, Scott interviews Bob O’Neil, one of the folks responsible for the resurrection of The Royal House (formally the Royal Resort). We also talk about our encounter with one of the stars of Pawn Stars.
