Is Vegas Really Dead?

Tim Conway Jr. on Demand

We kick things off with the heatwave and the age-old mistake—why do we always seem to save the hottest days for yard work? While sweating through chores, there’s one thing on everyone’s mind: the Powerball jackpot has soared to a staggering $1.3 billion. People are lining up at gas stations, and one lucky Sherman Oaks station matched five numbers, earning a cool $1 million. But the real question is—what if it were you? We’ll share some practical tips for managing an overnight fortune, from protecting yourself from sudden “long-lost relatives” to making sure you don’t blow it all before tax season. Next, Conway reveals his fast-food hacks—clever little tricks to save money, score secret menu items, and stretch your dollar without sacrificing taste. From extra-large sodas for pocket change to burger build-arounds, these are insider moves every hungry driver will want to hear. Meanwhile, a rainstorm is sweeping through Southern California and several neighboring states, bringing relief to some, chaos to others. We’ll look at what to expect on the roads, how it impacts fire danger, and why even a little rainfall can wreak havoc on SoCal infrastructure. And then we check in with Richie, who takes us to Sin City. Las Vegas is scrambling to win back visitors after a tourism slump—driven in part by high prices. Casinos and resorts are starting to roll out fresh deals and incentives to lure people back. But will cheaper packages be enough to offset the billion-dollar Powerball buzz drawing attention elsewhere? Speaking of which, the jackpot just keeps climbing after no grand prize winner was named. It’s already up to $1.3 billion, making it one of the largest in history.
