MGM Resorts is entering week three of their recovery from the recent cyberattack, but things are still not completely back to normal. When can we expect things to return and what is MGM doing to rebuild their entire IT infrastructure after the attack?

We also take a deep look at the official Raiders Hotel M Resort. They lean heavily into the sports theme, but as a locals casino does this place have the right vibe and how does it stack up to "Strip" casinos. Other topics discussed include: the tragedy at Bellagio, Kelly Clarkson's amazing Vegas moment, light vs. dark casinos, Usher's Superbowl halftime show and how U2 ticket prices are falling ahead of their debut at the Vegas Sphere later this week.

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.
