Heart Attack Grill Blasts Vegas, Sphere Goes Global & EDC's $777K Bottle Menu

Author: Miles to Memories | Shawn Coomer and Mark Ostermann May 20, 2026 Duration: 18:05

Heart Attack Grill has closed in downtown Las Vegas after 15 years, and its goodbye statement took a flamethrower to modern Vegas. Shawn and Mark talk about whether the restaurant had a real point about Vegas pricing out the middle class, or whether the whole thing was one last over-the-top bit from a place built on excess.

They also cover Travis Pastrana riding through Boulder Station, the Caesars/Omnia jump debate, Plaza's Wiseguy Getaway package, Commonwealth's redesign, Gaudi Bar returning at Sunset Station, EDC bottle service prices and Sphere Abu Dhabi.

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.
