Back in 2021 the 10 acre parcel of Strip frontage where the Riviera once stood was sold by the LVCVA. The sale was supposed to close by the end of 2022, but it has now fallen through when the buyer backed out. Is this the first sign of trouble on the Vegas Strip or just a blip on the radar?

In other news we have an update on the MSG Sphere and what it's parent company is doing to get the cash to finish it. Plus Ellis Island has launched a new loyalty program, we take you on the ground at the newly announced Inspirada Station casino and a Vegas entertainment company is buying a small desert town to turn it into a Circus Village. Will this work?

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.
