Bob and I talk to super-host Steve Cyr. We received many questions for hosts from our listeners, and many of them made it into the podcast. We will have Steve on again in the near future to address more of your questions. You can always submit questions to us at [email protected].

This was a great episode. Steve definitely didn’t hide how those comps work and how he gets paid lol
Great is the best way to describe the Steve Cyr interview. Hit very close to home because when in LV I always stay at a Stations Hotel. Seems like my choice to stay lately has been the Palace Station as they have gone through a major renovation but still treat their returning customers the same. The Boarding Pass has to be the best promotion in town, Good to know what goes into my comps now. $180 for a Bud Light 🙂
BTW, Bob I grew up in Gardena and went to Gardena HS to in the late 60’s.
