Vital Vegas Podcast

It's all the Vegas your growing brain needs. Get everything you need to get the most out of your next Las Vegas visit. Basically, we're too drunk to type out the specifics, so just take a leap of faith and listen.

This isn't what we ever intended this podcast to be. It's about something horrific that's shocked Las Vegas and the world. This episode is OK to skip. We'll be back to the usual dog and pony show soon.

We have no memory of what we talked about in this episode, but we trust it was fascinating. We do vaguely recall chatting with the Director of Slots at Binion's, as well as sharing skinny about Fontainebleau being sold, rumorwise. We've got a review of "Circus 1903" and other ramblings you won't want to miss. Oh, and we dive headlong into a cannabis sampler box. No, really.

It's another lackluster installment of the podcast from the eighth most popular blog in Las Vegas! There you got your rumors, there you got your news, there you got your incoherent rambling.
