Gäst Daniel Westman  Välkomna till ett nytt avsnitt av Let Me Know-podcast, där vi i serien "Two Timer" lämnar Kiss-temat åt sidan och dyker ner i andra artisters oförglömliga album. Den här gången bjuder vi på en resa genom hårdrockens, rockens och filmmusikens världar, guidade av våra gästers personliga favoriter. Vi startar med Marko och W.A.S.P:s explosiva debutalbum från 1984, ett verk som chockade och fascinerade en hel generation. Därefter tar Bernt oss tillbaka till 1977 med Angels himmelska "On Earth as It Is in Heaven", en resa i glamrockens tecken. Slutligen får vi följa med Daniel till ringen och Rocky IV:s ikoniska soundtrack, ett 80-talsfenomen som definierade en era. Följ med oss på en resa genom tid och rum, där vi hyllar album som lämnat avtryck och skapar nya musikaliska minnen. Oavsett om du är en inbiten rockräv eller nyfiken nybörjare, kommer du garanterat att hitta något som får dig att lyssna med nya öron. Luta dig tillbaka, skruva upp volymen, och låt oss prata om album du inte får missa! Som vanligt blir det samtal om annat Kiss relaterat under färden...

Hooters Casino Hotel was meant to be a game-changer—bringing its busty brand of mediocrity to the Las Vegas Strip. Instead, it became one of the biggest disasters in Vegas history. A casino so bad, it made Circus Circus look classy. So... what went wrong? For my third annual Hooter Bowl Spectacular, I had to go big. So I spent 19 hours trapped inside the Hooters Casino Hotel (now OYO), enduring its busted elevators, depressing ambiance, and suspiciously sticky carpets—all for the sake of history. Along the way, my guest Alexander Poncio and I uncover the shocking history of this cursed Las Vegas casino—including its mob ties, multiple bankruptcy scandals, and an abandoned attempt in the 1980s to become Vegas' first LGBTQ-friendly resort.

Random Vegas  Before he designed Bellagio, Wynn had fully developed, different plans for the land formerly home to the Dunes.     Plans were to build a boutique hotel with intimate spaces, 2 hotel towers, one with 230 suites and two 7-story towers housing 461 rooms each   He even planned to leave room for two future towers to be built   Wynn believe if he pulled this off, it would be the death of the mega resort   Wynn's creative side was unsatisfied and after some guidance, scrapped them and started over with plans to reinvent the game again  TwitPic of the week  There was time when north strip was the center of the action in Las Vegas. Desert Inn, Frontier, Silver Slipper, Stardust, Silver City, Riviera, El Rancho, Slots A Fun, Circus Circus and the Sahara lorded over the area for decades. Today it's trying to resurrect its glory days with new additions Resorts World and Fontainebleau, but the location is currently a liability. This week we get a snapshot of the area as it existed in 1985 thanks to @_GrandPaD and comparing the density with today's landscape is almost an unfair comparison. Today large chunks of land exist in between properties making it unappealing to pedestrian traffic. Specifically, the area is challenged by the still vacant lots that are the Frontier and Riviera. The former a casualty of the real estate explosion the strip underwent in the early 2000s and the later another victim of the ever-growing reach of the Las Vegas Convention Center. Crystal ball time, will north strip ever be where the center of the action is again? It isn't likely even once people build on these parcels but that doesn't mean it can't become another hub of activity for the city that continues to evolve at all costs.

Dan and Tom talk with Matt Sherman about the DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER Las Vegas and OCTOPUSSY Utah filming locations. Besides being a James Bond expert, Matt Sherman leads tours to many different James Bond filming locations – check his website https://bondfanevents.com/. In this episode, we discuss what we experienced on Matt's tour of two relatively close filming location areas for two movies, DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER (DAF) and OCTOPUSSY.  Much of DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER was filmed in and around Las Vegas, Nevada in the U.S. For instance, the casinos, the desert, the mortuary, the car chase and more are all there. Surprisingly, if you take a 2-hour drive from Las Vegas into southwestern Utah, you'll end up in some key locations from OCTOPUSSY. Much of the OCTOPUSSY pre-title sequence was filmed in this stunningly beautiful part of the U.S. Some of the scenes toward the end of the movie were filmed here as well. Some of the filming location questions we answer are: DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER LAS VEGAS What airport did James Bond arrive in when he came to Las Vegas? How many locations were used when Plenty O'Toole was tossed from the hotel window? Where is the location of the parking lot from the car chase? Why is visiting the Palm Boulder Highway Mortuary & Cemetary not enough to experience the mortuary scenes?  What game can you still play at the Circus Circus arcade area? OCTOPUSSY Utah Where was the gas station that James Bond's jet pulled up to when Bond said “fill ‘er up”? How did they film the take-off and landing of Bond's jet? Where is the bridge the plane flies under? Where did James Bond jump from his horse onto Kamal Khan's plane? When standing near the bridge, you can see places portraying what countries from what movies? This is a fun discussion.  The next time you are in Las Vegas, go visit these sites.  You'll be glad you did. So, have you been to any of these sites? If so, let us know your thoughts, ideas for future episodes, and what you thought of this episode by dropping us a note at info@spymovienavigator.com.  The more we hear from you, the better the show will be!  We'll give you a shout-out in a future episode!

It frequently tops lists of the “worst casinos in Las Vegas,” and the murder-clown vibes (and rumors of hauntings) don't help, either.

Random Vegas Built in 1982, the 2-story building that was the Oasis Casino @Dunes was supposed to be comprised of two components, a casino on the 1st floor and a restaurant on the 2nd floor.  The restaurant never opened and the space remained unused until its destruction in 1993 (vintagelasvegas.com) Twitpic of the week Here is another @summacorp picture that mesmerizes me with all the history going on.  For example, we know that this is 1968 because they are working on the fountains in front of the new Circus Circus casino. You'll notice that fountain 5 is being deconstructed.  That's because they are moving the carousel marquee from the left of the fountains to that location on the right; all so they can make room to build Slots-A-Fun. Next door to that is Westward Ho still 3 years away from adding a casino in 1971.  And next to that is the mammoth Stardust 1,000 motel units all lined up neatly like an OCD dream come true.  If you look to the top left you'll see both the Stardust casino and the 12-story expansion tower from 1964.  And across the street from it all we have the Riviera with her classic marquee. It's truly remarkable to think about how much land they needed back in the 50s through to the 70s and even 80s in some cases.  Its no wonder why they all sold for the right price.

Patreon Exclusive Content   Many regard Jay Sarno as the father of the themed casino as well as the mind behind family friendly Las Vegas.  His contributions to the strip, Caesars Palace and Circus Circus, are complete opposites on the theme and customer base scale.  While he was many things, a womanizer and a gambling addict, no one can dispute that he was also a visionary.  Jay Sarno was exactly what Vegas wanted during a time when all its current owners were being scrutinized by attorney general Bobby Kennedy; a legit guy with no previous connection to organized crime.   If you're interested in learning more about Jay Sarno, check out Grandissimo  The Players: The Men Who Made Las Vegas  Sharks in the Desert  lvstriphistory.com  Pinterest  Battle Born Pins  Vintage Vegas Shirts
