This action-packed episode is being simulcast on YouTube, the first and last time we're doing a video to accompany the podcast, so learn to live with disappointment.
In addition to doing a news dump, we also interview Ted Hartwell, Director of Storytelling for the Nevada Council on Problem Gambling. They're the folks who put out the famed "When the Fun Stops" brochure that's being replaced with a refreshed version you may have seen in your favorite casinos.
Other than that, it's the usual rambling and ranting. Look, it's better than listening to terrible auto dealership ads on the radio. Probably.
There's an expansive variety of suck in this special installment of the Vital Vegas podcast (yes, there is still a Vital Vegas podcast, wiseass).
Don't say we didn't warn you.
We randomly clicked on a segment of this episode and the phrase we heard was "walking talking embodiment."
Yes, it's been a while, but here's an episode of the podcast!
We talk about A.I., interview the CEO and President of Rio, Patrick Miller, and talk about all the things that aren't happening with the A's, Bally's Corp. and the Tropicana site.
Criss Angel and Brian Christopher also drop in, sorta.
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.
