I own a bar that was considered for this show. The producers from the show took one look at the staff and turned around and walked out the door, so maybe I am a bit biased. They looked at a lot of bars in my area and I am not sure who was chosen, but our place certainly was not.
I can't find the latest episode online so I can't link to it but it should be posted soon. Basically Anthony Curtis from LVA (Lasvegasadvisors.com) is the gaming expert for the show since they are doing some bars in LV:

During the segment on the payout tables of the VP machines, Blair Rodman walks in (a frequent poster on the old LVA sports forums and I assume a pal of Curtis) under the pretense of a serious VP player and then walks out in pseudo-disgust at the pay table of the machines.
After the re-launch, Rodman comes back and seems to approve of the adjusted pay table.
Something about this rubbed me the wrong way. I know it's TV but it's more like scripted reality TV.
The whole segment with Rodman casts serious aspersions on the opening segment between the bar owner and the recon specialist, Nicole, who is also the host's wife.
The opening segment is so over the top it is almost impossible to believe the doctor didn't believe he was talking to the host's wife and that no element of staging or scripting was involved.
Anyway, I love this show and think the host is a genius but this episode was overflowing with so much bullshit it makes me wonder about the other episodes of the show as well. Seems impossible this opening segment really happened.
