Getting Casino Status On The Cheap, Vegas' Future Expansion & When Buying Batteries Gets Real Weird

Author: Miles to Memories | Shawn Coomer and Mark Ostermann July 7, 2021 Duration: 57:27

Each week thousands of people tune into our MtM Vegas news show at YouTube.com/milestomemories. Now we bring you the MtM Vegas podcast where we can spend a little more time sharing our best Vegas info, tips, reviews and stories plus talk to some of the most interesting people in Vegas. 

Episode Description

In this second ever episode we catch up on Resorts World including how the $150 "gift" died quickly. We also discuss the potential expansion areas around Resorts World and which projects may be coming next to the area.

If status is more your game we talk about how to juice up your Mlife and Caesars status to get free parking, waived resort fees in some cases and other perks. Once you get status some casinos even match each other! It's a good way to get more comps and it is fun too. 

All of that plus an update on our recent comps and a fun little slice of story time with Mark. It involves batteries and a thank you gift Vegas style.

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.
