The Vegas Buyout That Fell Apart, Club Boomer Arrives, Cheesesteak Pizza & A New Sports Pool?

Author: Miles to Memories | Shawn Coomer and Mark Ostermann September 29, 2026 Duration: 22:26

The deal to take MGM private is dead, but MGM might flip the script and buy the company that was trying to buy it. We break down what happened and why a private Caesars and a public MGM could make for a fascinating rivalry. Also this week, the Bellagio Conservatory's fall display by the numbers (500,000 leaves, and yes, someone counted), a $50 cheesesteak pizza and the cheese baby, a correction on Vegas' Michelin Keys, Club Boomer at Jerry's Nugget, and a $59 all you can eat and drink football deal at Atomic Golf. Plus the Hooters chicken squawk we need back, Tape Face coming through in a big way, Daylight Beach Club's sports-bar makeover, and the eternal mystery of why everyone waits in line at the Strip Starbucks. Which Vegas friend are you? 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.
