Cashless gaming is spreading, with Station Casinos now testing tap to pay Apple Pay right at the machines at Durango after rolling it out to its taverns, and we debate whether removing every barrier between you and your bank account goes too far. There is also real progress on the Tropicana traffic mess coming out of the airport, with a new cheaper flyover bridge proposal that county leaders say they can actually pay for. F1 finally settled its class action over the canceled first night practice for just over $3 million, though refunding everyone up front would have been the easy fix. Plus Slotapalooza took over Circa, the Neon City Festival is confirmed to return for F1 weekend, Casino Royale already bumped its $3.99 hot dog to $4.99, Primm is reopening with no resort fees, and Fontainebleau looks to be reworking its high limit slot room. Our favorite singing street performer also narrated a guy busting his knee messing with him, which you have to hear. Let us know in the comments if tap to gamble at the slots is a step too far.

There’s a particular energy to Las Vegas that goes far beyond the postcards, and MTM Vegas-Fun, Interesting & Absurd Sides of Vegas! captures it all through a uniquely balanced conversation. Hosts Shawn Coomer and Mark Ostermann don’t just report on the city; they live it from two essential angles. Shawn offers the grounded view of a thirty-year local, while Mark provides the keen, regular tourist perspective, having visited multiple times a year for decades. Together, they dig into everything from breaking news and major developments to the wonderfully strange and humorous stories that define the real Vegas experience. This isn't a dry travel guide. Instead, each episode feels like pulling up a chair with two friends who are deeply passionate about the city's constant evolution, its hidden corners, and its outright absurdities. They discuss cultural shifts, interview interesting people connected to the scene, and analyze what new projects or closures mean for the vibe of the Strip and beyond. The podcast releases fresh episodes twice a week, every Tuesday and Friday, making it a reliable source for staying current. Whether you're planning a trip, you're a longtime resident, or you simply find the sociology of such a singular place fascinating, their dynamic offers a rich, entertaining, and insightful look at what makes Las Vegas endlessly compelling.
