Today, Dave sits down with Eric Wareheim and Gabe Ulla, authors of the new book 'Steak House: The People, the Places, the Recipes'. Amongst friends, the discussion ranges from the magic of steakhouses to the ideal steakhouse order. The myriad types of potato sides are listed, the right way to order a martini is declared, and the idea of the steak dinner celebration as a descendant of the old-school hunt and sacrifice is posed. Dave also cooks a wet-aged and a dry-aged (or, at least, a little less wet-aged) steak for the cowriting duo.

Random Vegas 1992 is when Circus Circus opened their bungee jump experience with a 201 foot tower. Jumpers paid $100 to drop 171 feet almost into a swimming pool. The attraction closed in 2005 TwitPic of the week I don't know how they did it but I love it. This week's winner by @SCVegas is a photo of the W tower at Mandalay Bay while it was still known as Delano, the Luxor Pyramid, Excalibur Castle and NYNY, all in one photo. It's a stunner showcasing just how diverse the options are south strip. It's interesting that the people who originally experienced these themed properties when they were embracing the theme concept are the same people wishing Vegas properties would reembrace theming. Unfortunately Murrenzation will all but guarantee this will never happen as it costs money to be unique. News Electric Mushroom Slotapalooza 2025

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.

To this day, the 1993 Circus Circus Casino heist in Las Vegas remains one of the most remarkable criminal escapades in U.S. History.  Over $3 million was stolen from an armoured truck in broad daylight, and the heist was carried out so smoothly that it took hours for anyone to realize a crime had even occurred. And while the planning and execution of the robbery itself was impressive, what happened AFTER the heist is equally as impressive.To learn about the robbery at the Circus Circus Hotel & Casino and other true crime tales from the darker side of Las Vegas history, visit Mayhem In The Desert.Follow Sin City Stories: Vegas True Crime on Facebook & InstagramFollow Mayhem In The Desert on X (formerly Twitter) & FacebookSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/sin-city-stories/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In the early hours of October 1, 1993, a quiet but daring heist unfolded on the Las Vegas Strip.  What began as an ordinary day at the Circus Circus Hotel & Casino turned into a high-stakes mystery that would take years to unravel, forever changing the way casinos approached their security.  In a heist that seemed straight out of a Hollywood blockbuster, over $3 million in cash was stolen from an armoured truck without a single alarm being raised or a single shot being fired. It wasn't until hours later that anyone realized the money was gone—and so were the culprits.To learn about the robbery at the Circus Circus Hotel & Casino and other true crime tales from the darker side of Las Vegas history, visit Mayhem In The Desert.Follow Sin City Stories: Vegas True Crime on Facebook & InstagramFollow Mayhem In The Desert on X (formerly Twitter) & FacebookSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/sin-city-stories/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Random Vegas There is a scene in the 1979 movie Melvin & Howard that shows someone driving down the strip, past Flamingo and headed south. If you look close, when they get to the MGM marquee, Universal Pictures, the production company behind the film, covered up their rival MGM's name from their unremarkable marquee. (@summacorp) TwitPic of the week She isn't the newest or the prettiest but is Circus Circus really that bad? The answer is yes, she's always been that way even when she first opened back in 1968. But when you're a well-run property that prints cash why would you listen to the noise. This week@ATXVegasFanshared a picture of the property that for some reason I'm drawn to because it's still a Vegas property and it has a history. That's apparently all you need for me to show you some love, even if your ownership doesn't do it. News 360VV15 update

Random Vegas The original monorail was only a joint venture between MGM Grand and Bally's.  It opened in June of 1995.  In the early 2000 it expanded to become the Las Vegas Monorail (vintagelasvegas.com)   TwitPic of the week It isn't anything historic except that it was the first incarnation of the Caesars Palace sign, shared by @summacorp.  You can tell because it only uses 3 of the 4 pillars on the sign. Future versions added more sign boards and eventually grew to encompass 6 pillars of signage. It was never the tallest or the grandest, it's just a great POV of a magnificent sign that captured my imagination. News 360VV15 Update Virgin Strike Tallest hotel proposed

Random Vegas  Hilton, at one time, had the tallest sign in Vegas at 362 feet tall, taller than the Landmark Hotel itself and only a few feet shy of the Hilton itself.  On July 18, 1994, it was blown down by 70-80 mph high winds.  Fortunately, no one was injured.  The sign was rebuilt in 1997 but not nearly as tall at only 279 feet tall. This is the sign Westgate has to this day. @summacorp  TwitPic of the week  Do you realize how much Vegas history is in this one shot shared by @Summacorp?  We'll start with Circus Circus since it's the easiest to orient yourself with.  Here you can see her 5 fountains and carousel marquee as well.  Next door you have Travel-lodge to the left, still there today, and Westward Ho on the right, not with us anymore. Across the street you have the Thunderbird, Algiers and Riviera. Today its Fontainebleau and a parking lot for the LVCVA.

Virgin Hotels will move to a unified operation model bringing the casino in-house. Is this exactly what the struggling property needs? In other news we now probably know who will be the next big act in the Sphere as the venue gets ready to host the NHL Draft. We also learned that Wrestlemania is coming to town and Fontainebleau scored a big musical name as well. We also discuss negative comments about Caesars, a crazy million dollar reward, an epic disaster at Circus Circus that has garnered international attention and how the crane atop the stalled Venetian tower has come to life.

Random Vegas In 1968, Las Vegas could lay claim to the 3 tallest electric signs in the world.  The Dunes at 180, the Frontier at 184 and the Stardust at 188 feet tall    TwitPic of the week How can you not be proud of that collection of properties?  Specifically, it feels like MGM treats @LuxorLV and Excalibur like unwanted commodities.  Which is funny because they bought Mandalay Resorts, one of the most profitable gaming companies in history, with a portfolio that primarily catered to the middle class.  Since then they've sold off Circus Circus and threatened redevelopment to both Luxor and Excalibur.  Instead they should feel psyched that in that string of properties, you make up virtually every demographic you want to attract to Las Vegas.  Not to mention, you are in prime real estate to attract ALL those who attend events at Allegiant and the current wave of sports in Vegas.  Here's some million dollar advice for free MGM.  Leave Luxor and Excalibur alone.  Sure, update and take care of them inside but leave the architecture alone.  You found this company attractive for a reason.  Stop trying to fix it.
