There's so much good news, we're going to have our podcast let out. What does that even mean? Who the hell knows?

We also get a sneak preview of plans for Ahern Hotel, formerly the Lucky Dragon. Chef Marc Sgrizzi talks about his new restaurant, Chef Marc's Italian Steakhouse, and also tells us how to pronounce his name.

There's lots of news about casinos reopening, and the usual rambling. Take a listen!

Ep. 109 - Sex Trade Secrets May 19, 2020

It's time for another slapdash episode of the Vital Vegas podcast!

Finally, we've got your attention.

Ep. 108 - The Comeback Trail Apr 30, 2020

Show notes

It's time to talk about what's next for Vegas, because things are pretty bleak at the moment.

We chat with international entertainment titan, Ross Mollison, the producer of three hit Vegas shows: "Absinthe" at Caesars, "Opium" at Cosmo and "Atomic Saloon" at Venetian.

Plus, we read some mean reviews and share the first 10 things we're doing when Vegas gets back online.

Ep. 107 - Everything is Ruined Mar 23, 2020

Show notes

While coronavirus isn't the only thing happening in Las Vegas right now, it feels like it. In this episode, we talk about the Vegas shut-down, the impact it's having on the casino industry and what the future of Las Vegas could be.

We also provide Captain Morgan-fueled answers to tons of questions from Twitter, with our special guest Melissa Vegas, our shelter-in-place partner.

This might not be the most feel-good episode of the podcast, it's not like you have anything better to do, so take a listen.

Ep. 106 - Hard Rock Swan Song Feb 17, 2020

Show notes

The Hard Rock hotel-casino has closed to become Virgin, and we've got an exclusive interview with Richard "Boz" Bosworth, CEO of JC Hospitality, the executive in charge of the transition.

Also, Circa owner Derek Stevens talks about five restaurants coming to the new downtown resort in Dec. 2020.

Plus, there's a metric ass-ton of Vegas news and some requisite rambling. Take a listen!

Ep. 105 - Good, Bad and Meh of 2019 Dec 30, 2019

Show notes

In this stunningly forgettable episode, we talk about the awesome and sucky things that happened in 2019. There's also Las Vegas news and a fair amount of rambling. You know, the usual.

Ep. 104 - Hell-Ton of Catch-Up Dec 02, 2019

Show notes

It's just so much. Strap in.

Ep. 103 - Vegas is a Circus Sep 16, 2019

Show notes

So much Vegas scoop, so little bandwidth!

Get the latest about the Circus Circus sale (no, it hasn't been announced yet, that's how we roll), Hooters becoming Oyo, annoying service charges on cocktails and more.

Oh, and we're even flexing into the sportsball space with a listicle about the newly-renovated Wynn golf course.

Ep. 102 - Stratification Aug 19, 2019

Show notes

This episode has it all!

Actually, we decided to make it less than all so we'd have more time for Twitter. Don't be butthurt.

There's still a great interview with the V.P. of Table Games at The Strat, inside scoop from Hard Rock as it transitions to Virgin and more.

Ep. 101 - Routine Expedition Aug 12, 2019

Show notes

It's the first episode of season three of the podcast, and we're off to a rambling start!

We interview Patrick Hughes, President and CEO of Fremont Street Experience, and scoop all the scoop you could ever want about Las Vegas.

Oh, and there will also be grasshoppers. It was a thing for a minute.
