This week the Vegas Sphere rolled into its opening with the first showings of its in house movie Postcard from Earth. While the venue continues to impress, there were quite a few issues including long lines and fake tickets. We also discuss the cost of food/drinks at the venue and how some staff members aren't happy with the mandatory service fee being charged.

In other news another Las Vegas Strip casino has been announced and this time it is coming to your favorite mall! We also cover the misleading F1 locals ticket offer, how the new Rio Rewards may be one of the most rewarding programs in town, how a local couple broke the world record by visiting 93 casinos in 24 hours and why Mattress Mack is back again to bet on his Astros.

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.
