Concierge Confidential

Special shout out to Terry who stopped by to say hi and gave me the idea for today's episode. There are a few unfinished projects on the Strip and thought it would be fun to explain what they are and when will they be finished (if ever).    Instagram: @conciergeconfidential_lv, @Brian_Ortega26 TikTok: @keystovegas

With the Academy Awards this weekend I thought it would be fun to breakdown the movies that best encapsulate Las Vegas. I breakdown the movies that best depict each era of Vegas and highlight some of my personal favorites. Have to listen to the end.   Instagram: @conciergeconfidential_lv, @brian_ortega26 TikTok: @keystovegas

I know it's a cheeky title but of course I don't mean you who is listening as you are a seasoned Vegas aficionado. But I try to explain why things cost the way that they do and if it's on the general public to change their perspective of what Vegas is.

I got a very nice message from a listener and his questions made for a fantastic episode surrounding his upcoming anniversary trip to Vegas.. This is great for anyone planning a special trip to Vegas and if you have been questioning if Vegas is still worth visiting I answer that as well.   Instagram: @conciegeconfidential_lv , @Brian_ortega26 TikTok: @keystovegas

This is a fun episode where I give my best alternative restaurant option for some of the most impossible reservations in Las Vegas. These aren't just alternate spots with good food they are alternate spots that fit the mood and vibe of the impossible spot.   Instagram: @conciergeconfidential_lv TikTok: @Keystovegas

A little more on the personal side but I breakdown why it is so hard to date in Las Vegas and it's not always on you. Where most people meet their mate and why a lot of it has to do with where you actually work.   Instagram: @conciergeconfidential_lv TikTok: @Keystovegas

In this episode I breakdown my experience staying at the New York New York for the Super Bowl and why I think it is an underrated property. I also hit up one of my favorite lounges, Wakuda at the Palazzo on my way to the Backstreet Boys at the Sphere.   Instagram: @conciergeconfidential_lv TikTok: @Keystovegas

I finally made my way to the downtown staple that is Oscar's Steakhouse and I think it's now in my top 5 steakhouse's experience. We saw a piece of Vegas and cinema history.

In this episode I explain the advantages and disadvantages to traveling to Vegas solo. I explain how getting into higher end restaurants can be easier and sold out shows aren't always sold out to single people.

We might be a week away from Valentine's Day but if you waited this long you might already be behind the eight ball. I breakdown some of my favorite bars, lounges and attractions to experience on Valentine's Day. I also share a few stories from when I used to work on the loveliest day of the year.   Instagram: @conciergeconfidential_lv TikTok: @KeystoVegas

In a coincidence a new list of the Top 13 New Bars in Vegas was released and at the top of the list was a bar that I just went to in Viking Mike's Alpine Yurt Bar. I react to some of the bars on the list and review Viking Mike's which is defiantly the one of the most exciting new bars to hit the city in a very long time.   https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestravelguide/2026/01/29/the-13-best-new-b...

An old school review of a new cocktail bar on Fremont Street. The White Whale Cocktail Room. I thought this place is bringing a touch of class to the East Fremont district and without a menu it makes it an interesting stop in the world of Vegas cocktail bars.   Instagram: @conciergeconfidential_lv TikTok: @KeystoVegas  

I continue the Vegas Icon series with Steve Wynn Part 2. I talk about the creation of the Wynn Las Vegas and how it propelled us into the world of luxury hotels in Las Vegas that we are currently in.   Instagram: @conciergeconfidential_lv

This is the first episode of the Vegas Icon series where I highlight someone from Vegas' history and how they influenced the city that I call home. We will focus on their contributions to the city and why they deserve to be included. I understand our first subject is controversial but Vegas wouldn't be Vegas without Steve Wynn.

After so many people listened to the last episode I figured we'd do a part 2 where I breakdown a few more silly questions like can you use a debit card at a blackjack table and why you should never use an ATM in Vegas. 

I answer all the obvious but necessary questions that you've either asked yourself or seen other people do. For example. "Is it possible to walk from the airport to the strip?" I also breakdown why you don't really have to wait until 3pm to check-in to your room.

Welcome to 2026! In this episode I breakdown what I think will happen to a few new and redone concepts on the strip. I review the redone Hard Shake Cocktail Lounge at the Waldorf-Astoria.

This is your how to guide if you're coming to Vegas for New Year's Eve 2026. It's even great if you're wondering what it's like when they shut down the streets for one of the craziest nights of the year. 

With 2025 wrapping up I thought it would be a good time to give you my favorite places I went this year and some of my favorite experiences at each one. I hope you enjoy and have a very Marry Christmas.

This was one of the more fun episodes using my personal experience with being approached by escorts and other anecdotes that I've picked up throughout the years. Enjoy!
