Vital Vegas Podcast

This is our best episode, ever. Possibly because we're too busy to write a longer description.

Where have we been? Where have you been? We're back with a virtual walkthrough of the newest casino resort in town, Fontainebleau Las Vegas. We also chat with a Las Vegas couple, John and Kristina Mehaffey, who visited 93 casinos in less than 24 hours. You'll get the inside scoop you won't get anywhere else about all things Vegas, so strap in. Warning: Done incorrectly, strapping in can cause chafing or erectile dysfunction. Fair warning.

We blather, you play the show on 2x speed. Rude.

It's time for a virtual deluge of Las Vegas news and exclusive commentary about what's happening in the world's most exciting city besides Amsterdam. We took a little time off, so there's a lot to share. Not just the stories every other bonehead reports when they get a news release. The stories behind the stories and the stories hiding under the ottoman. The juicy stuff. The nitty-gritty. The scoop. Plus lots of wild speculation and fooltommery, which isn't a thing, but it will be, just watch. 

As if the world weren't already full of words, here are more. Many of these are related to Las Vegas.

We love us some Fremont Street, so we interviewed one of the ringmasters of this popular downtown circus. Andrew Simon is the President and CEO of Fremont Street Experience. Simon talks about the destination's free concert series, along with some questions we hear often from Las Vegas visitors. There's also the usual rambling, about the Oakland A's and such, as well as a listicle about cheap eats on Fremont Street.

In what we claim is our briefest episode, ever, we talk about a former Bally's hotel tower, the Jubilee tower, being absorbed into Paris Las Vegas. As the kids say, serious scoop. There's also some news and a listicle, but we can't do everything well. We are a generalist. Just listen, then go to Twitter and give us a passionate opinion we can ignore because we are very busy and important.

In this completely inoffensive episode, we chat with the Director of Innovation at Station Casinos about STN Charms. We'll also get a construction update from Plaza CEO Jonathan Jossel. We keep the rambling to a minimum for a change, so dive right in.  

In this episode, we chat with Kenny Epstein, owner of El Cortez, a downtown casino with a vibe all its own. We get more insights from the General Manager of El Cortez, Adam Weisberg. Plus, there's all the Vegas news and views you can stuff into your insatiable maw. Which would make a pretty good bad name.  

We could not be less interested in describing this episode. Enjoy!

Don't act surprised it didn't take six months for us to do a new episode! This installment is jam-packed with all the usual nonsense, including a reminder we are too busy to write detailed descriptions of what's in a given episode.

We're back and as unlistenable as ever! In this episode, we catch up on the latest Vegas news, deftly sidestep a potential lawsuit and relive a $10,000 slot jackpot with no tax paperwork! 

It's so much Vegas, if you lifted it, you'd get a hernia. In addition to the usual tripe, we've got an interview with Brian Christopher, the O.G. of slot influencers.

It's another WTF-filled episode of the podcast that's going to help make the world sane again. Actual results may vary.

Anything that happens in Las Vegas happens in this podcast, just ramblier.

As always, there's a lot of regaling in this episode. Mostly, about a surreal craps session with a high roller. We also aimlessly roam around New York-New York, providing a virtual tour and cavalcade of thoughts about this iconic Strip casino. We'd love to say it stops there, but we also talk how a focus on casino profit margins is ruining everything, along with the best magic shows in Las Vegas. Just listen, it's a podcast, it's not about reading.

Dive headlong into another excrutiating episode of the Vegas podcast once described as "a brisk kick to the earholes, but not in a good way." We chat with Amy Saunders about "Miss Behave's Mavericks" and a metric hell-ton of scoop, opinions and aimless meandering.

Vegas be kray. We'd go into more detail, but we're eating ice cream.

It's another whirlwind episode of the podcast you can't be truly fulfilled without. We've got interviews with Jonathan Jossel, CEO of Plaza, talking about some big changes in the works for this downtown casino. Next up is Derek Stevens, owned of Circa, The D and Golden Gate, as we chat about Sigma Derby, an old-school slot with a cult following at The D. There's also a metric buttload of scoop, Vegas news and more.

It's the usual nonsense, but recenter. Tons of scoop, a butt-load of news and an interview with someone who actually knows what he's talking about (Boss Cafe and Buddy V's Jersey Eats at Linq).
