- In the **Travel News**, we share the story of the new Las Vegas hotel that does not exist...it’s truly one of the most bizarre stories we have ever shared; and a man fell into a thermal pool at Yellowstone and his body vaporized overnight...that news and other strange tales in the Travel News.
- Our **Smarter Travele**r segment updates you on the latest hotel wi-fi hazard (hint: beware of the home page), and we have the rules of the road for the hotel breakfast buffet.
- A special segment for **international travelers** features tips on phone plans and getting through customs easily. Reporter Clayton Whitehead is our guest.
- **Odds and Ends** features a Shake Shack airport kiosk that raises prices if you don’t include a tip...I didn’t believe it either, but we have the video online for you to see.
