  Here's a link to some more information on the Astral. They paid $7.4 million for the closed 25-room motel--which had terrible online reviews when it was open--on one acre of land. Groundbreaking is set for 2020 for an opening in 2022. It is the sixth in the chain, and most or all the others are in Israel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astral_Hotels https://www.yelp.com/biz/motel-8-las-vegas Wikimapia shows it about a hundred meters South of the Skyview observation wheel site, where nothing remains but the uprights. I'm the one that's supposed to be cynical about the future of Las Vegas, but I didn't hear many reasons in the podcast why this project will not go forward. It very well may not; and, if it does, it could certainly wind up like Skyview, Fontainebleau, or Lucky Dragon--but let's give them a chance.

  Did someone say "Steak?" I will be listening not only with my earholes but with tastebuds, too!

  Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh boy, you're going to talk about food! Will you discuss how you don't like deep dish pizza, and therefore it's not pizza, but is instead some sort of casserole? Please, favor us with more of that idiocy, which you've carefully avoided for some time now.

  Somewhere, in the back alleys of the internet, there's a mangy cat that nobody likes, not even the other alley cats. This cat lurks in the dark just waiting to pounce on what it thinks is prey, but is too feral to realize the rest of the world has passed this cat by. Sad.

  I don't know about anyone else, but I rarely see a restaurant serve casserole. Chicken pot pie, occasionally. Meat loaf, sure. But good old casserole, or hot dish, as people like to call it in the midwest, damn hard to find. Not sure I've ever seen casserole served at a restaurant. The tater tot "hot dish" is one of the best, if you're taking a survey. I guess lasagna is a casserole, but I wouldn't have thought of it as such. You can look up a list on Wikipedia. I'll try to post it below. I fear that posting links in these comments will get the comment flagged. Beyond that, what kind of low-rent restaurants do you people patronize? You really find restaurants that serve casserole? No thanks. Now that I'm hungry, it's time to find out what all the hype is about regarding this ep. of VV. I'm having FOMO. I thought I could live without an episode, but I'm wrong.
