This episode goes off-script as we bring you a panel discussion featuring five downtown casino bosses.

These are some of the players who make downtown Las Vegas what it is, and what it will be: Jonathan Jossel (Plaza), Seth Schorr (Downtown Grand), Derek Stevens (The D, Golden Gate), Jim Sullivan (Fremont) and Joe Woody (El Cortez).

The host of the discussion is Patrick Hughes, President of Fremont Street Experience. That's where we work as our day gig, btw.

Enjoy a virtually host-free installment of the Vital Vegas Podcast, and not just because we're hung over and too lazy to do a regular episode. Probably.

This week's show is bursting with Las Vegas culture, among other things.

We share our invaluable thoughts about "Baz" at Palazzo and "Le Reve" at Wynn, and we've got an exclusive interview with the owner of the first Chick-fil-A in Las Vegas.

This week's history covers the weird relationship between Las Vegas and atomic weapons.

Our "Listicle of the Week" includes everything you need to know when choosing a Las Vegas Hotel room for the best sex.

Join in the conversation, and by "join," of course, we mean you listen, we talk. It just works best that way.

Let's get this Vegas party started!

In this lackluster installment, we share all our recent Vegas adventures, from Giordano's to absinthe service at Sage and more.

We go far too into stadium blackjack at Venetian, then toss in some gratuitous stuff about Las Vegas history and a listicle of some sort.

You either get it or you don't, and if you don't, you will after having a sip or two of 100 proof Captain Morgan. Not required, but recommended.

In this episode, we try to herd cats. Translation: We interview SNL alums Dana Carvey and Jon Lovitz. No, really.

The comedians are beginning their residency at SLS Las Vegas, so it seemed like the thing to do.

We also blaze through Las Vegas news and clumsily conjoin Las Vegas history and the Listicle of the Week.

Take a gulp of frosty Las Vegas goodness with an extra shot of WTF.

It's more of the same as we dive headlong into 2017.

Let's talk Las Vegas news, history, listicles and more.

What, you expected better quality just because you got a new calendar?
