360 VegasE-507: 360 KickstarterRandom Vegas The largest free standing LED sign in the world is Aria’s marquee at 260 feet high and 65 feet wide TwitPic of the week Only in Vegas can a building grow. For example, look no further than Caesars Palace. This is a property that opened as a 700-room resort and today has almost 4,000. More than that, its multiple expansions took over an entire city block. Say what you will about the interior layout this property is sexy as hell, especially shared via @maverickheli's unique POV. I’m not sure which I prefer...2024-10-1959 min

360 VegasE-493: 360VV14Random Vegas Vegas has the 3 largest video screens in the world. Sphere @Venetian at 580,000 square feet (515 long by 367 width), Resorts World at 161,636 square feet (475 long by 340 width), Viva Vision Screen at the Fremont St Experience at 130,000 square feet (1,500 long by 90 width). TwitPic of the trip Technically this was before360VV14started but according to the rules I’ve made up in my head, it counts. This was a unique point of view of a common visual of the tallest building in Vegas. Fontainebleau, the property that continues to disappoint is showcased here...2024-07-061h 56

360 Vegas360 Vegas Reviews - Fantasy @Luxor We recently released the 360 Vegas show review for X-Country, and Mrs Jaydubs complained that we spent half the review talking about Fantasy. I can’t help it, though. Fantasy is the litmus test by which all other Vegas topless revues will be judged for a long time. Note: I have in the past referred to Fantasy as the Gold Standard of Vegas topless revues, and thought I was very clever for coming up with that. Then I saw the same words on a Fantasy poster on the way into Luxor and realized I was just subconsciously plagiarizing some...2024-02-1416 min

360 Vegas360 Vegas Reviews - The Sphere People will try to describe the experience you have at the Sphere but let’s start with saying it unlike anything you've experienced before. It doesn’t matter if you see the film or a live act, this will be different. Which is exactly what Madison Square Garden Company was going for with the Sphere. You’ll find a lot of comparisons to IMAX, Disney’s Soaring Attraction, 360 theaters but that’s only because how else do you describe something never done before. The Sphere is one of those rare attractions that lives up to the hype, not only breaking the technologi...2023-11-2234 min

360 Vegas360 Vintage Vegas - Kenny Epstein Most of you probably don’t know who Kenny Epstein is, but you should. He’s the owner and CEO of El Cortez. Much more than that, he’s the guy that made the conscious decision to not remodel the property but to refresh it while retaining the vintage feel the property permeates. Kenny understands what El Cortez does so well and sees the value in continuing to service those customers. So instead he upgraded just about everything in the property, all without changing the esthetic. This year, the El Cortez, and Kenny, celebrate their 80th birthday. So we took the op...2023-11-0419 min

360 Vegas360 Vegas Reviews - Blue Man Group @Luxor Who farted? Do you have that one piece of media that you would like to check out, but never seem to get around to it? Like, you’re scrolling through Netflix, and there’s that one movie that you’re interested in checking out, but not this time. Or the next time, or the time after that. It’s always there, and you’re interested, but not interested enough to dive in at the moment. That, my friends, is how Blue Man Group was for me until recently. I’ve known who the Blue Man Group was for over 20 y...2023-09-2722 min

360 VegasPCP - 360 Vintage Vegas - Hacienda Patreon.com/360Vegas Something for everyone, that’s what Vegas has that makes it a magical destination. It took decades for the market to get that way but it seems every time change is needed, the city finds a way to adapt and evolve. At the end, the Hacienda looked miniature next to its new neighbors Luxor and Excalibur. Like many properties before it and since, the Hacienda evolved as much as it could but ultimately had to be imploded to make room for the future of the strip. Thankfully part of that evolution includes other properties adapting to cater to the...2023-09-2307 min

360 VegasE-454: Social ContractRandom Vegas The myth is that casino carpet is busy to keep guests looking at the slots. The fact is its to conceal stains as well as wear. (@VitalVegas) Twitpic of the week A breathtaking photo of @Caesars Palace from @maverickHeli. An arial view of the property showing just how diverse and sprawling the property is. This photo has it all, well, almost all. It has the 6 different hotel towers, the Roman, Centurion, Fantasy (known today as the Nobu tower), Palace, Augustus, and Octavius towers. It has the porte cochere and the f...2023-09-031h 12

360 VegasE-453: Microcosm of ExistenceRandom Vegas Silver Sevens deals live roulette again. That makes 67 casinos in the Las Vegas market that offer the game. There are 71 with table games. Of the four that don't deal roulette, three are small locals that only have blackjack. The other is Main Street Station. (@John_Mehaffey) Twitpic of the week Whenever we start talking about “locations” for 360 Vegas Vacations, think of this picture from @JustWonOne when we refer to center strip. From the Horseshoe to Aria. Just disregard that MGM marquee as it doesn’t serve our narrative and as we al...2023-08-271h 02

360 VegasPCP - 360 Vintage Vegas - Flamingo Patreon Exclusive Content The Flamingo may be the most iconic property in all of Las Vegas. Credited with bringing the luxury theme to the strip, its opulence was considered off putting to some, particularly locals, especially when they were initially informed they weren't allowed to wear their cowboy hats inside.

360 Vegas360 Vegas Reviews: Awakening On the next "Chicks you don't want to break up with:" I think there’s been more talk about this show since it opened than any other Vegas show in memory. Good or bad, people are talking about Awakening. We saw the show in late February 2023, when we were in town for the Half Marathon and 360 Vegas Winter Vacation. Before we get to the review, let’s talk about how Wynn got here. When the resort opened in 2005, it opened with the production show La Reve. Like Awakening, La Reve had its share o...2023-07-2736 min

360 Vegas360 Vegas Reviews: Brew DogTo summarize, although there were multiple service issues, it didn’t spoil our enjoyment. This place should do very well, having good beers, burgers and pizza right off the bat. The draw is going to be that roof terrace, the drawback is going to be the location. Price wise it’s in line with the rest of the strip with $11 beers and food at resort level pricing. Overall in our opinion, it’s worth a visit. It will be interesting to hear what other people think. 2023-05-1018 min

360 Vegas360 Vegas Reviews: Six - The Musical One of the great things about a Vegas trip is all the opportunity for surprises. Not bad surprises, like the bell desk lost your luggage or you just checked in and there’s a used prophylactic in your sheets.Good surprises, like a jackpot, or a delicious new drink, or finding out that random restaurant you decided to try has the best food ever. On my most recent trip to Vegas, I got to experience one of those good surprises when we decided to check out SIX: The Musical during its limited residency at the Venetian. (An as...2023-04-2924 min

360 Vegas360 Vegas Reviews: X-Country My heart just got all achey-breaky. This next review is one that I’ve been hanging on to for some time. Listeners with excellent memories might recall that back in spring of 2022, when I submitted my first review to be read on the show, we figured out that my wife and I were at a show the previous week that Mark was also at. I’m kind of in awe at how much has changed since then. I started as a regular contributor, then I attended my first Vegas Vacation, then we all started hanging out together on the many...2023-04-1232 min

360 VegasE-435: Talkie Tony Random Vegas In a casino cage, damaged currency (slot machines refuse to accept) is referred to as “mute money.” “Mute” is shorthand for “mutilated.” (Vital Vegas) Twitpic of the week The more I look at this picture the more I appreciate the evolution of the Riviera. Not just the hotel towers but the signage as well. While she wasn’t in the best of conditions at the end she was still a classy broad…or gawdy. The two tend to often blur in Vegas. This arial picture of the property in March of 96, shared...2023-04-0249 min

360 VegasE-433: Danger ZoneRandom Vegas Treasure Island was originally planned to be an addition to the Mirage before eventually deciding it develop it into a separate property (sincitytalk.com) Twitpic of the week “Holy shit, that used to exist” is the first thing I exclaimed the first time I saw this picture of the Riviera’s porte cochere, circa 1969. With stunning curves and swooping elegance, it stood as a shining example of the art deco playbook at its pinnacle and proves that buildings can be sexy as well as functional. This is what the place look...2023-03-1857 min

360 Vegas360 Vegas Reviews - A Musical About Star WarsLong, long ago, in the Miracle Mile Shops far, far, away… All right, so if you and the listeners haven’t figured it out yet, I’m a big dork. In my youth, I enjoyed video games, Star Wars, and installing A/V equipment so much that it’s a wonder I ever got laid. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve shifted my dorky obsessions to things like bourbon and Vegas, but I’m still a dork. So when it was announced that the show “A Musical About Star Wars” was coming to the Miracle Mile Shops, I had to ch...2023-03-0821 min

360 VegasE-432: Performing PrimatesRandom Vegas For the 23rd consecutive month, Vegas is reporting earnings over $1 billion (Review Journal) Twitpic of the week The New York skyline, shared by @VegasTravelNews, eloquently recreated on the Las Vegas strip, provides just enough of the real experience to check it off of my to-do list. Plus it has a roller coaster. Where is your theme park attraction real New York? In all seriousness, the ability to enjoy different themes & experiences per property is one of the magical things about this city. A pyramid, a Medieval Castle, Paris and a nu...2023-03-051h 16

360 VegasPCP - 360 Vintage Vegas: RivieraMost remember the Riviera as the old rundown place it felt like towards the end of its existence. But the Riviera roamed the landscape like giants for a time, attracting the biggest names in entertainment. However that was a long time ago and the Riviera was not able to keep up with changing tastes. And as Liberace and Dean Martin’s stars began to fade, so did the Riviera, gradually declining into the property she was for her last 20 years, a grind joint. The Riviera is no longer with us. While romantic hearts will look at this tragically, realists will a...2023-02-1810 min

360 Vegas360 Vegas Reviews: Mad AppleSo this is actually the first Cirque show I’ve reviewed for the podcast. I’ve seen several Cirque shows; the wife is a big fan. Our first trip to Vegas together included The Beatles - Love, which I really need to revisit. Maybe Tony will go with me, since he really should see it. Since that first trip we took together, my wife and I have seen “O”, Mystere, as well as Zumanity. Confession time: I liked Zumanity. I think we saw it twice. I was definitely disappointed when I heard it was going away. But we really like Cir...2023-02-0826 min

360 VegasE-429: UneditedRandom Vegas The 93 acres of land Caesars sits on requires 14 full time gardeners to maintain with an annual budget of $350k (Las Vegas: Behind the Tables) Twitpic of the week While a significant number of people in America are experiencing a brutal winter season, in Vegas, when it happens, its breathtaking and typically doesn’t last very long. Clearly someone agreed with us as this week’s winner, brought to us by @summacorp, is a picture of Stardust Jan 5th, 1974.

360 VegasE-428: Sex Talk with GrandmaRandom Vegas A common superstition for horse race gamblers is to never look at your ticket after you buy it (Las Vegas: Behind the Tables) Twitpic of the week It’s man behind the scenes shit that fascinates me. As far back as I can remember I’ve always been interested in what’s behind that “Employees Only” door. That interest was only further exacerbated when I fell in love with Disney. I love what they produce at the front of the house but what’s going on behind the curtain to m...2023-01-291h 02

360 VegasE-427: Idiot ProofRandom Vegas Cirque Du Soleil celebrated “O’s” 11,000 performance this week, bringing you over a decade of acrobatic shrinkage Twitpic of the week This week’s winner by @_GrandpaD captures something you don’t often see from neon signs in Vegas, scale. Here we see maintenance doing the lords work replace neon tubes in the signage. By doing so, we get a perspective that is rarely seen in this new world of LED signage. This sign is massive and if they ever close, I really hope the Neon Museum has the inside track...2023-01-1543 min

360 Vegas360 Vegas Reviews: RougeLet’s talk about Rouge at the Strat. (And it’s Rouge as in “blush,” not Rogue as in “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.”) So when Rouge was announced earlier this year, I was definitely interested. It’s probably no secret at this point that I’m a horn dog, and like my Vegas shows to be titillating. I also believe that what’s good for the goose is good for the gander, and out of a sense of fairness I once took my wife to a male review; something I probably won’t ever do again. It’s not so m...2023-01-1130 min

360 VegasE-425: Natural SelectionRandom Vegas The International, better known as the Hilton and currently known as Westgate, was specifically designed to attract families and conventioneers It offered a supervised youth camp of sorts to keep the kids occupied so the adults could do what they wanted Twitpic of the week It’s been considered the worst eye sore in Vegas history, similar to its predecessor the Landmark. The big blue building known as Fountainbleau, then various other names as new ownership groups attempted to rebrand the property while not making any actual progress to fin...2023-01-011h 11

360 Vegas360 Vegas Reviews - Wayne NewtonSo before I get into this review, a few disclaimers: If you told me a few years ago that I would actually make an effort and spend my own money to see Wayne Newton perform, I would have laughed at you. A lot. If you told me even a few months ago that I would not only see Wayne Newton perform, but also (spoiler alert!) enjoy it enough that I would recommend that others go see it, I would wonder what you were on. Now, to be fair, I like crooners. But when I say that, I mean t...2022-12-0327 min

360 Vegas360 Vegas Reviews - Miss Behave’s MavericksImagine your favorite local bar gathered its funniest, sexiest, strangest, and most talented patrons and friends, and brought them together to put on a wild variety show and you’ve got a reasonable idea of what you’d experience when you see Miss Behave's Mavericks. So back in spring, there was some buzz starting to grow about a new show downtown, Miss Behave’s Mavericks. Vital Vegas had reported on it. (I have to say here that I often appreciate Vital Vegas’s perspective and info - and I know he’s a friend of the podcast - but he s...2022-11-0927 min

360 VegasE-416: Recreational Crack SmokerRandom Vegas Moulin Rouge would not be the first property to attempt to cater to blacks. The original was in 1942 when Shamrock Hotel on Fremont St attempted to cater to both blacks and whites. It was a colossal failure as whites vehemently protested. In response, city officials denied Shamrock an operating permit sighting Jim Crow policies in place at the time (The Moulin Rouge and black rights in Las Vegas) Twitpic of the week While not being as tall as the real Eiffel Tower in Paris, her replica in Vegas is stil...2022-09-2550 min

That’s what this picture from @briantonyavegas makes me feel. It’s sunrise featuring the High Roller, Bally’s and Paris. The color in this is incredible. I can almost smell the crisp morn...2022-09-041h 06

360 Vegas360 Vintage Vegas PCP - The Frontier Premium Content Preview www.patreon.com/360Vegas The Frontier is a property that, despite its multiple incarnations, has ever appealed to me. By the time I came to the city for the first time she was already a rundown, grind joint on the strip. But Vegas history is Vegas history. So it was inevitable that at some point this property would capture my attention long enough to learn all I could about it. Turns out I don’t have to love a property to find them interesting and worthy of a 360 Vintage Vegas segment. 2022-08-2014 min

Kind of like a mirror image. And yet, that was all that was needed to come up with this monologue. @maverickheli shares a view of what is coming to be considered mid-strip properties. These monstrously sized properties somehow magically reduced to miniature...2022-07-311h 08

360 Vegas360 Vintage Vegas PCP: Tony Cornero and the Stardust*Premium Content Preview Patreon.com/360Vegas While many architecture academics have criticized Las Vegas for its lack of substance, there may be no better example of this elitism than the scorn directed towards the Stardust. For better or worse, history points to the Stardust as the defining moment when Las Vegas no longer required a jacket and tie to gain entrance to. Instead of celebrating the brilliance in the Stardust’s minimalism, it was trashed for focusing more on the exterior signage and façade, wrapped around a building that was little more than a massi...2022-03-1916 min

360 VegasPCP - 360 POV: Lucky YouPCP = Premium Content Preview The movie Lucky You, reminds us of a time in Vegas, when people thought the only limits the market had, were the limits of the imagination. While it isn’t a period piece in the traditional sense, at least not yet, or intentionally, one of the truly fun things about Las Vegas, is how often it changes. Unlike major cities all around the world, whose landscape typically just expands over the years, Vegas can look radically different from one decade to the next. That’s, what we get to explore, with Lucky You, to see...2021-07-2420 min

360 Vegas360 Vintage Vegas PCP: Tropicana LVTropicana is the kind of property in Vegas that everyone knows about but most don't spend much time at, which is a real shame. Its contribution to the experiences available in the market is a unique blend of classic intimacy and affordable luxury. Many properties in Vegas seek to transport you from everyday life to a personal version of paradise but the use of bright spaces gives it a feeling of warmth and carelessness. Without excessive ornamentation or theming, Tropicana has succeeded in what can best be described as that happy place on a beach people can retreat to whe...2021-06-1910 min

360 VegasPCP - 360 Vintage Vegas: Jackie Gaughan & the El Cortez*Premium Content Preview Patreon.com/360Vegas There are a collection of men who helped build the city of Las Vegas during its formative years that didn’t have colored pasts. Their origins are not linked to organized crime and their stories aren’t the sort of things people make movies about. However they would become the shining examples that the gaming industry could not only exist without the Mob but could continue to grow. A fact that was established in 1941 and continues to endure to this day. The El Cortez is the city’s oldest hotel cas...2021-05-2211 min

Like @pixvegas777 does with this week’s winner. A postcard that captures the Stardust in all her mobbed up glory. There are always people who mourn the loss of a Vegas property but I think it goes beyond that with the Stardust. The closing of the Stardust was one of the biggest mistakes in Las Vegas history. And what is replacing it isn’t going to be better tha...2021-04-111h 48

The pandemic impacted gambling revenue down by only 34.6% compared to 2019 (Vital Vegas) Twitpic of the week The Monte Carlo is an interesting story. It’s an example of a company lost and looking for an identity, unhappy with the one they’ve already established. It all started with the addition of Diablos, evolved into a reimagining of the frontage and eventually evolved into a rebranding as Park MGM. The problem is the Vegas market has something for everyone and...2021-02-211h 06

Determining what is considered “good” is about as subjective as subjective can be. Most people today will point to the time before the strip was primarily owned by 2 companies, MGM Resorts and Caesars Entertainment. While the benefits of consolidation are obvious, potentially the best thing about it is the story of how it all happened. To do that, we are going to have to...2021-01-2326 min

For years, a myth has lived in romantic Hollywood lour that Bugsy Siegel is the father of modern Vegas. When in truth, the idea for the Flamingo was stolen and ruined by the notorious gangster who caused the project to cost 6 times more than its original projections. When it finally opened, it was a disaster of such catastrophic proportions that his partners in the mafia had him killed.

Once he discovered his passion for games of chance, he studied them feverously, learning that in every game, the advantage was always in the houses favor. So Sam decided the best way to gamble was to be the house. And that’s how his career in gaming began. Sam’s son Bill was encouraged from a young age to get an education.

Some will criticize MGM as the shinning example of the faceless corporate machine that has taken over the city but without the corporate evolution of the market, the expansion of gaming around the United States, and the world for that matter, would have never been possible. Corporations removed the negative stigmatism the gambling industry had for eons and made it a viable, border...2020-07-1814 min

360 VegasPCP - 360 Origins: AlistairPCP = Patreon Premium Content Preview Alistair was originally the co-host of 360 Vegas Reviews. He's a proper English man, a snarky prick, possibly the most thoughtful person I've ever met, and one of my closest friends. He's also the most traveled person I've ever met in my life, seeing more of the United States than 99% of the people that call it their country of origin. During one of this visits to Vegas, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to record the origin story of the man who classes up 360 despite my natural tendency to directly oppose such measures. 2020-05-2314 min

He’s definitely one of the biggest in gaming history. Like Walt Disney before him, Steve Wynn saw the way things were and dreamed of how they could be better, then brought them to life.

360 VegasPCP - 360 Vintage Vegas: Luxor*Premium Content Preview Patreon.com/360Vegas Luxor changed my life. It can be credited as the property that brought me to Vegas for the first time with a theme that made me say "I have to go see that". The inspiration for this show, my love for just about all things involving the city including becoming a student of it's history can all be traced back to this property. While it’s true, over the years, I’ve not spent a lot of time at Luxor. In fact, I haven’t stayed at the property since my fi...2019-05-2514 min

360 VegasPCP - 360 Vintage Vegas: Imperial PalaceImperial Palace. Never have two words meant such polar opposites to people, depending on what side of the globe they live on. To the Japanese, it is the elegant residence of the Emperor; a sprawling park like area with Edo (E-Doe) Castle as its centerpiece. Originally build in 1457, in the 1980s, it's value was greater than that of the entire state of California. For the record, that's real estate about the size of Disneyland. Also in the 1980s, the Imperial Palace came to be known as a hotel casino on the Las Vegas strip. Unlike its namesake, while inflation would...2018-04-1407 min

360 VegasPCP - 360 Vintage Vegas: The ThunderbirdThe Thunderbird is a property I've never paid much attention to, for no particular reason. I wasn't offended by it's Native American theme, that's not really my style. That being said, I will say the theme was about as interesting to me as the cowboy motif at the El Rancho or the Last Frontier. Being a child of technology, harkening back to a day when it didn't have anything isn't my idea of a vacation, it sounds like torture. One of the most fascinating things about Las Vegas is its unique ability to take things I normally wouldn't find interesting and mak...2018-02-2412 min

360 Vegas360 Vintage Vegas: PCP-The El Rancho: The 1st Resort on the Strip*Premium Content Preview* Isolated gambling clubs existed on Highway 91 before 1941 but the concept of a full scale resort with overnight accommodations, gaming, dining, entertainment and shopping all in one vacation destination wasn’t conceived as something anyone would want in the harsh desert climate. The El Rancho not only offered something Highway 91 had never seen, it set a precedent by creating a themed vacation destination that would shape what would later become the Las Vegas Strip. This is the story of the El Rancho Vegas. 2018-01-2410 min

For years, a myth has lived in romantic Hollywood lour that Bugsy Siegel is the father of modern Vegas. When in truth, it was stolen and ruined by the notorious gangster who caused the project to cost 6 times more than its original projected cost. When it finally opened, it was a disaster of such catastrophic proportions that his partners in the mafia had him killed. Now it is time to set the record straight about the real man behind the Flamingo. 2018-01-2414 min

360 VegasPCP - 360 Vintage Vegas: Wayne McAllisterArchitecture, if done well, is much more than just the designing of a building; its creating a durable structure that is not only functional but beautiful. Every building is designed by an architect however it takes vision and skill to transcend the steel, concrete and glass jungles of major metropolitan cities to create things that stands out in someone’s mind, and in some cases in history, as exceptional representations of the craft, inspiring future generations to take architecture to the next level; to continue to evolve with science and create something timeless.

360 Vegas360 Vegas Review: Golden Gate Hotel and Casino Spring 2016It is literally the original hotel in Las Vegas, built in 1906 and given the address 1 Fremont St. It was originally the Hotel Nevada, then in 31 it became a casino and was renamed Sal Sagev, Las Vegas backwards until 1955 when a group of Italian-Americans from San Francisco rethemed it into the Golden Gate. Fast forward to today and this isn’t what you would expect out of a 110 year old property. This is the very definition of classic. It’s old without being dated, it’s small without feeling cramped and it's themed without being gaudy. Much of that can be...2017-04-3022 min

Two stories with a 2nd floor, outdoor patio, located at the eastern most part of the promenade at LINQ, YardHouse has, what is known as, a prime location.
