Vital Vegas Podcast

This episode has more entertainment and information than you can reasonable expect at this irresistible price point! First, we hear from Benny Binion. Actually, it's just us reading a monologue in some sort of accent, but it's very interesting. Then we dive headlong into Las Vegas news, including the Monte Carlo rebrand (it will soon be Park MGM) and various legal scandals going on at the moment....

Topgolf, a fun new venue at MGM Grand, has won our heart, so here we devote a full episode to exploring this amazing new attraction. We walk all four floors of Topgolf with Director of Marketing Dennis Lafontaine, including the five bars, two pools, live performance spaces and 108 hitting bays. We also share our KNPR interview about the just-announced new music venue from Las Vegas Sands Corp. and...

It's another thrilling episode of the Vital Vegas Podcast! This time around, we talk Steve Wynn doing a downtown zipline, Topgolf's smashing debut, Fremont casino's 60th birthday and so much more. We also tip our hat to the 360 Vegas Podcast which held its recent 360 Vegas Vacation in Las Vegas. The lively show just hit 200 episodes! In this episode, we also get into the details of the new paid pa...

This week's episode is simple. First, we talk about how we're now 32% Irish. Second, we go on a walkabout at Pawn Plaza, despite walkabouts being more of an Australian thing than an Irish thing. Third, we deeply probe some serious WTF coming out of Lucky Dragon. It's not the best episode of the Vital Vegas Podcast, but it's certainly the most recent.

Suck it, 13. It's time to turn our unlucky 13th episode into a luckfest! Las Vegas is the luck capital of the world, and in this episode we share tips for getting lucky in Sin City and more. We dive into a book called "The Luck Factor," including things lucky people have in common and what we can to do to shift our thinking about luck, from thinking it's something that happens to making it happen!...

In this week's episode, allegedly the last episode of our first season, we chat with casino owner Derek Stevens about his recent purchase of Mermaids, La Bayou and Topless Girls of Glitter Gulch. We also chat up Stacey Dougan, the mastermind behind some amazing vegan food at Simply Good inside Downtown Container Park. Also on the show, we round up some recent Las Vegas news (it's the law) and B.S....

You've heard about Nevada brothels, but now go inside one. The good folks at Sheri's Ranch Resort & Spa (and Brothel), about an hour from the Las Vegas Strip, were kind enough to share some insider knowledge about the world's oldest profession. Prostitution is illegal in Las Vegas (and Clark County, which covers the Las Vegas Strip), despite what many believe. This week, we check out the impressiv...

In this 10th and possibly final episode of the Vital Vegas Podcast, we stroll the Las Vegas Strip's newest pedestrian promenade, The Park. Yes, all of it. Front to back, top to bottom, like we're a TSA agent and The Park is taking the red-eye to Amsterdam. Or something.   Our walk in The Park had a few surprises, even to us. First, we bumped into unintentional guest and Las Vegas media superstar,...

In this episode, we have an interview with hottie and "Pinup" star Claire Sinclair, as well as  Joyen Vakil,  Sr. Vice President of Design and Development, MGM Resorts International. No, really. We also talk Las Vegas news, Las Vegas history, and a listicle featuring 20 things we learned from the LVCVA's Las Vegas Visitor Profile 2015. It's more interesting than it sounds.

Oh, yes, it's episode eight of the Vital Vegas Podcast. Miracles happen!   This week, we share a recent downtown gambling streak that included a $1,000 Wheel of Fortune jackpot. Keeping the dream alive, baby.   This week's "Listicle of the Week" is "10 Things We Flippin' Love About Las Vegas." Not only that, in this week's episode, we invented the "nested listicle," which we'd trademark if we were...

In this week's glorious Vital Vegas Podcast, we speak to Ralph Cautela of 34th Floor Hospitality about Citrus, the new pool concept at Downtown Grand.   We also hear from the creator of the Life Cube, an art project where people write and paint their wishes on a two-story wooden cube, then the cube is set on fire. Fear not, we have a list of Las Vegas wishes we're going to add to the Life Cube bef...

In this installment of the Vital Vegas Podcast, we chat exclusively with Austin "Chumlee" Russell of "Pawn Stars" fame about his recent arrest on charges related to drugs and guns.   We also superficially discuss the latest Las Vegas news, and trot out some filler in the form of "This Week in Las Vegas History."   Perhaps the best part of this week's show is an interview with renowned pizza god To...

This is definitely in our top five all-time podcast episodes so far! For starters, we get the inside scoop about winning a slot machine jackpot from the guy who won $242,000 on Wheel of Fortune at the Golden Gate. Then we share our ideas for what to do in downtown Las Vegas if you've never visited before. We've also got an exclusive interview with the artist behind a new addition to The Park outsi...

In this week's action-packed Vital Vegas Podcast, we've got interviews with interesting people, including Strip headliner Jeff Civillico and Seth Debowy, who makes clothing using repurposed casino table felts. We also clumsily field lots of listener questions and dole out exclusives galore. As long as you interpret "galore" as "one questionable exclusive."  

This episode has so much Las Vegas, you may need to ice down your loins. For our first-ever interview, Derek Stevens (owner of The D and Golden Gate) talks about downtown, 18 Fremont (formerly the Las Vegas Club) and also confesses something that will leave you speechless. Also up are exclusive interviews with the director of "Million Dollar Quartet" and star of a new show at Westgate, "Twisted Ve...

This week, we talk about sex on the High Roller Ferris wheel, Lucky Dragon running of of funds and stopping construction and more. There's news, and our first listener call and questions. There's also the top five places to get pizza downtown.

In the premiere episode of the Vital Vegas Podcast, host Scott Roeben talks all things "Jason Bourne," a good deal of which was filmed in Las Vegas. Also on this episode, it's the latest news and buzz from Las Vegas, as well as lots of rambling, disclaimers and  apologizing for technical difficulties. There's also a clip of a Hooters waitress talking about how creepy it can be to work at Hooters....
