Welcome to the WDW News Today podcast. My name is Eric Morton with me, as always, Tom Corliss.

How's it going? Episode 74? I don't know. We always forget. Something like that. Every week, I start the episode off by being like, I don't know what episode. I think it's 74. Last one was 73. I'm pretty sure. Then that's how that would work. Either way, we're glad you joined us.

Please go back and listen to all the other 73 first,

I'm ready to now say it is my favorite food city.

If I were an essayist, I would write an article about why me, why I as a layperson,

thinks that Vegas is on the decline.

I, why me, why I, why me piece that's purely that just says, why me?

Why me?

The Nancy Kerrigan take on Vegas.

I think Vegas is in a state of decline tourism is down.

Some of that is probably obviously the economy.

Other components of that are I think,

I think they've gotten too greedy there, man.
