We have officially reached the end of an era in Las Vegas. After 67 years, one of the most legendary properties on the strip is shutting down, and as of April 2nd, 2024, the Tropicana will be no more. When it first opened back in April of 1957, it was one of the most luxurious hotels & casinos in Las Vegas, calling itself "The Tiffany of the Strip".  It's seen growth & expansion over the decades and it's survived ownership changes, financial crisis, and a global pandemic...all to be permanently closed to make way for a new baseball stadium. My guest for this episode of the podcast ..read more

If you're a fan of Vegas-related movies & pop culture, chances are that you've heard about "the Black Book". This is a list of people who are banned from entering any gaming establishment in the state of Nevada for ANY reason - as was highlighted by Joe Pesci & Robert DeNiro in this scene from 1995 classic film, "Casino". So exactly how does one end up in "the Black Book"?  And, more importantly, how does one get OUT of it?  My guest for this episode of the podcast is here to answer those questions and many more... Back for another conversation is Geoff Schumacher, Vice Presi ..read more

Influencers have always been "a thing" in Las Vegas - and in a city as visually stunning as Vegas, it only makes sense that content creators would want to cash in on things. But in 2023, things got weird. There seemed to be a real "boom" in content creators; there are literally hundreds of people blogging, vlogging, tweeting, and podcasting about Las Vegas. The culture has gone through a real shift over the last year or so with the attitude changing from "When one wins, we all win" to "F**k everyone else...I'm looking out for number one". For this episode of the podcast, I was joined by Adam B ..read more
