Episode Description

This week the news of a slow Vegas summer continues as Caesars put tons of their shows and experiences on sale and Strat launched an innovative new rewards program. With other sales continuing to materialize by the day, will it just be the Summer or are tough times ahead beyond that. We also discuss why you should take advantage of these deals while you can!

In other news the A's are breaking ground on their stadium this coming week and we might now know how they plan to pay for it. (Hint: A big sale!) We also discuss the opening date of The Friends Experience, Netflix House coming to Vegas, a dream job, a hotel project risen from the dead, Arts District's cool new garage and a rumor about even more layoffs at MGM resorts.

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.
