Secret Vegas Steak Deal, a Roomba for the Bellagio Fountains, Caesars 60th Gift & Smoke-Free Expands

Secret Vegas Steak Deal, a Roomba for the Bellagio Fountains, Caesars 60th Gift & Smoke-Free Expands

Author: Miles to Memories | Shawn Coomer and Mark Ostermann September 1, 2026 Duration: 22:54

It is officially F1 construction season, but the real question this week comes from X: 72 hours in Vegas, one property, and you cannot leave. We both landed on the same answer, and one underrated resort deserves more love than it got. Also this week, Boondock's epic night, from Caesars' 60th anniversary party to a mystery house party at Cosmo, and the chandelier pieces Caesars handed out are already on eBay. Golden Gate is adding a high limit room, Fontainebleau is redoing theirs with input from Vegas Matt, and Palms turned a barbecue joint into one of the best non-smoking casino spaces we have seen. Plus the Golden Monkey Tiki rumor that hurts our hearts, a legendary Montreal deli lands in Henderson, a $19.50 sandwich at Durango, and the unadvertised $40 steak deal at Circus Circus that sounds too good to be true. Where would you spend your 72 hours? Let us know in the comments.

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.
