Las Vegas is still struggling with soaring rents, more stressful work and an experience that isn't quite what it used to be for tourists. Will things ever be the same and when will people notice and stop coming to Sin City?

In other news, the pools of Vegas are dirtier than we think, we look at the "Best Cheap Eats" in Vegas (Denny's really?!?), discuss three reasons not to move to Las Vegas, Buffalo Bill's has reopened in Primm, Elvis weddings are potentially no more and pets are not welcome at Resorts World Las Vegas, but what about everywhere else?

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.
