Vital Vegas Podcast

The Vital Vegas Podcast is your gratuitous, snarky source for new, opinions and WTF from the world's most exciting city. Las Vegas. In case that wasn't clear. Please try and keep up.

Ep. 163 - Walking Talking Embodiment 10/28/2024

Ep. 163 - Walking Talking Embodiment 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. /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/33637647

Ep. 162 - Magic and Miracles 01/29/2024

Ep. 162 - Magic and Miracles This is our best episode, ever. Possibly because we're too busy to write a longer description. /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/29690123

Ep. 161 - Bleau Balls 01/15/2024

Ep. 161 - Bleau Balls 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. /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/29489178

Ep. 160 - Neutral Groin 09/11/2023

Ep. 160 - Neutral Groin We blather, you play the show on 2x speed. Rude. /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/27997044

Ep. 159 - Cancellation Nation 08/21/2023

Ep. 159 - Cancellation Nation 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. /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/27805794

Ep. 158 - Sea Cockroaches 05/29/2023

Ep. 158 - Sea Cockroaches As if the world weren't already full of words, here are more. Many of these are related to Las Vegas. /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/26977092

Ep. 157 - Extreme Fremontery 05/15/2023

Ep. 157 - Extreme Fremontery 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. /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/26838819

Ep. 156 - Paris Eats Jubilee 05/01/2023

Ep. 156 - Paris Eats Jubilee 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. /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/26702340

Ep. 155 - Dancing in a Minefield 04/24/2023

Ep. 155 - Dancing in a Minefield 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. /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/26631288

Ep. 154 - ElCo Dependent 04/17/2023

Ep. 154 - ElCo Dependent 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 Wiesberg. Plus, there's all the Vegas news and views you can stuff into your insatiable maw. Which would make a pretty good bad name. /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/26561865

Ep. 153 - Me Lucky Charms 04/03/2023

Ep. 153 - Me Lucky Charms We could not be less interested in describing this episode. Enjoy! /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/26424588

Ep. 152 - Sin City Ins and Outs 03/20/2023

Ep. 152 - Sin City Ins and Outs 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. /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/26277996

Ep. 151 - Tsk Tsk 03/06/2023

Ep. 151 - Tsk Tsk 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! /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/26137728

Ep. 150 - Are You OK 12/19/2022

Ep. 150 - Are You OK 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. /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/25369218

Ep. 149 - Sane Again 11/21/2022

Ep. 149 - Sane Again It's another WTF-filled episode of the podcast that's going to help make the world sane again. Actual results may vary. /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/25081776

Ep. 148 - Just a Leg 09/26/2022

Ep. 148 - Just a Leg Anything that happens in Las Vegas happens in this podcast, just ramblier. /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/24487035

Ep. 147 - New York State of Mind 08/29/2022

Ep. 147 - New York State of Mind 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. /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/24201918

Ep. 146 - Secrets and Kerfuffles 07/25/2022

Ep. 146 - Secrets and Kerfuffles 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. /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/23845220

Ep. 145 - Copious WTF 07/18/2022

Ep. 145 - Copious WTF Vegas be kray. We'd go into more detail, but we're eating ice cream. /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/23773562

Ep. 144 - Compartmentalize This 07/05/2022

Ep. 144 - Compartmentalize This 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. /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/23636966

Ep. 143 - Master Libator 05/16/2022

Ep. 143 - Master Libator 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). /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/23121674

Ep. 142 - Sh*tshow and Tell 04/11/2022

Ep. 142 - Sh*tshow and Tell So much news. So much scoop. So much interviews. So much inproper grammar. So much Vegas. /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/22749605

Ep. 141 - Biggest Scoop of 2022 03/21/2022

Ep. 141 - Biggest Scoop of 2022 What a holy hell-ton of Las Vegas you're about to get stuffed into your auditory orifices. We talk Tilman Fertitta's rumored new Strip casino, F1 in Vegas, concussionball trades, a new Vegas restaurant app called Neon Feast and more. /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/22511834

Ep. 140 - Running on Smiles 03/14/2022

Ep. 140 - Running on Smiles What an exciting aural adventure you're about to embark upon. In this episode, we interview the head of the Enforcement Division of the Nevada Gaming Control Board, James Taylor, about a manhunt for a gambler who won $230,000 at TI and didn't know it. Then we pivot to a chat with Vinny Guadagnino, star of "Jersey Shore," about his third stint in Chippendales at Rio. All that, plus various and sundry scoops and news and listicles and, praise be, the mask mandate is done. Whatever a "sundry" might be. /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/22437182

Ep. 139 - Delayed Gratification 02/07/2022

Ep. 139 - Delayed Gratification What a ribald extravaganza we have in store for you. Not this episode, of course, this episode is lame. But down the road sometime, gird your loins for an extravaganza. /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/22046483

Ep. 138 - Drama, Lies and Cake 01/24/2022

Ep. 138 - Drama, Lies and Cake We're pretty sure this is our first episode of 2022 and would love to say it's vastly better than previous episodes, but it's pretty much the same crap all over again. Luckily, Las Vegas is awesome and makes up for it in some small way. /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/21871778

Ep. 137 - Dog Meet Pony 12/20/2021

Ep. 137 - Dog Meet Pony There's so much to say, so little interest in saying it again here. Just listen. /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/21538433

Ep. 135 - Selectively Dickish 11/15/2021

Ep. 135 - Selectively Dickish What an action-packed installment of the podcast we don't have the energy to describe other than to say there's lots of Las Vegas involved. /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/21163829

Ep. 134 - Carrot is Tops 10/25/2021

Ep. 134 - Carrot is Tops Carrot Top isn't just hilarious and a fixture on The Strip, he's also an awesome interview. /episode/index/show/vitalvegas/id/20925542
