Despite palm trees showing up in iconic logos (farewell, Mirage) and lining Las Vegas Boulevard, those spindly trees aren't native to the Mojave Desert. In recent years, you might've heard grumbles that they're water-guzzlers providing no real shade. You might've even seen the video of a palm tree bursting into flames during our most recent heat wave. But master arborist Lisa Ortega, founder of Nevada Plants, thinks that we might want to give palms another shot. Today, we bring back a conversation co-host Dayvid Figler had with Lisa about when and how palm trees actually make sense in Las Vegas. Want to get in touch?

James Cook and Keisha Virtue wanted to see to see how many celebrity restaurants they could visit in two hours on the Las Vegas Strip. In their research, they identified 361 celebrity restaurant openings in the past 5 years in the U.S. and Canada. These establishments not only boost tourism but also create a competitive edge in the competitive restaurant industry. Celebrity restaurants serve as major tourist attractions, particularly in popular corridors like Las Vegas Boulevard and Nashville's Lower Broadway.  Celebrities leverage their recognition and large social media followings to drive customer attraction and compete with mainstream restaurants.  Watch a video of the Celebrity Restaurant Challenge: https://youtu.be/wcFd2LROIFs?si=sAwcWiaDRpv2t6aX Read the full Celebrity Restaurant report for free:https://www.us.jll.com/en/trends-and-insights/research/celebrity-restaurants-report James Cook is the Director of Retail Research in the Americas for JLL.

En este segundo episodio de la semana del Podcast Técnica Fórmula 1 nos preparan para un fin de semana nocturno: tendremos que trasnochar (o madrugar, eso depende de cada uno) para ver la Fórmulja 1 en las Vegas, pero también para ver la conclusión del Mundial de Rallies en Japón. Espectáculo fuera de la pista. Como suele ser habitual en los últimos tiempos, para atraer a nuevos aficionados a la Fórmula 1 hacen falta algo más que coches, así que hay prevista una ceremonia de apertura con artistas de renombre, como Steve Aoki, Thirty Seconds to Mars, will.i.am y la compañía del Cirque du Soleil. Aunque es la primera vez que la propia Fórmula 1 es promotora de un Gran Premio, no es la primera vez que se corre en las Vegas: anteriormente se corrió en Las Vegas como última prueba de las temporadas de 1981 y 1982, denominándose en ambos casos Gran Premio Caesars Palace. En ambas ocasiones, la carrera decidió el campeonato. Antes de que el trazado fuera decidido se hicieron hasta 30 diseños. Y, de nuevo, vuelve a presumirse de récord de tiempo en construcción: La infraestructura principal, incluido el edificio de boxes con la forma del logotipo de la F1, así como el pit lane y el paddock, se construyeron en poco más de un año. El circuito consta de 17 curvas y 3 rectas, con dos zonas de DRS. La recta de meta está en la esquina entre Harmon Avenue y Koval Lane, y el trazado pasa por Las Vegas Boulevard y Sands Avenue. Una vuelta completa al trazado son 6.120m, y se darán 50 vueltas al circuito. Se estima que la velocidad máxima que alcanzarán los monoplazas será de 342km/h. Japón, un Rally impresionante. Aunque ya está todo decidido también en el WRC, con el Mundial de Constructores en manos de Toyota y con Rovanperä que logró su segundo Campeonato en el pasado Rally de Centroeuropa, el Rally de Japón siempre merece la pena y no nos importa nada trasnochar para verlo. Es un lugar impresionante, con tramos espectaculares y muy especiales, algunos muy estrechos, otros “embrujados”,… lo dicho, una experiencia única cada año y un broche de oro a la temporada. En este segundo episodio de la semana, y previo al Rally, nos hablarán de lo más destacado de esta edición en cuanto a kilómetros, recorrido, días de desarrollo y tramos, así como de los desafíos que entraña esta prueba. Se hará un análisis de cómo son las carreteras japonesas, de las gomas que se usarán y de las especificaciones que deben llevar los coches. Por último, y aunque está todo decidido, los pilotos no se rinden y todos querrán hacer un buen papel, empezando por el propio Campeón, Rovanperä, que corre en casa de su equipo. En definitiva, que aunque tengamos que trasnochar (o madrugar), tenemos un fin de semana más que completo de motor, para seguir disfrutando lo poco que queda de temporada de automovilismo, que ya mismo está totalmente concluida.

The patio at Mon Ami Gabi, the excellent French restaurant right along Las Vegas Boulevard at the Paris Hotel/Casino, could be one of the best places to watch this month's Formula One race. Al spends time with Chef Vincent Pouessel to get the lowdown on what he's offering that night, how much it costs, and how the property dealt with the demands of F1. Also: Al shares his big-deal dining of the past week, which includes Ferraro's, Ocean Prime and Lemon Tree Market and Café. Rich actually went to a couple of nice places, including Esther's Kitchen and Taste of Asia. But he once again was frustrated in his hunt for Mambo Sauce at McDonald's!

Listener Q&A's lets go!!QUESTION 1:Hi! I had a question. Im tracking my BBT still. Though it's around 98.3 from 98.1 (not sure if that's really a significant difference). I am getting cervical mucus everyday. But some days it just goes away completely. Also, I'm not sure how much is “normal” for cervical mucus. I only see a bit on my underwear and it is also hard to tell what kind of consistency it is. It dries up on my underwear. Is there a specific way it should look when it's dried up? Should I be getting cervical mucus everyday or is it fine that I skip some days??Also, I've stopped intermittent fasting, I've gained weight, stopped “formal exercise” (only walking), eating snacks when needed, no longer feel cold, faced fear foods, etc. And for context I lost my period for 5 years and I started my recovery this around June. I am taking beef liver capsules as well, but is it okay to have these everyday?QUESTION 2:First off, I just want to thank you and your team for putting out such wonderful content. It means the world to me that I can turn to helpful content when I really need it and so I can be informed about the female body.I am a 19 year old female college student. I lost my period in June 2020 due to under eating and overexercising. Soon after I went vegetarian and moved to college. I was able to get a healthy period in November of 2022. Some changes that I had made were cutting out weight lifting and eating more (about 2300 -- I am a short person at 4'11''). I was still active in that I was riding my bike to classes (5-10 mins), walking for an hour, and playing my club sports such as lacrosse and rugby. Once I saw that I got my period for 3 months, I started to include running. I was shocked as to how much further I actually could run. I saw that my period was still healthy, even after running 5 days a week and having a 20 mile week, so I signed up for a half marathon coming up in October.I got an internship that takes place in Las Vegas (I am from NY) to do research pertaining to my major for June-August 5th. I went and had the best time. However, in June, I noticed my period was only 3 days long compared to the 4-5 days I was previously getting. I did not get my period for the following month (July). At that time, I was learning to swim with my friends everyday. I was continuing my half marathon training as well and looked forward to both my runs and my swim sessions. On the weekends, we would walk around Las Vegas Boulevard and went hiking on nearby trails occasionally.It is now September, and I still don't have a period. I thought that once I come back home and go back to school in New York, the weather change and eating more could help it come back but now it is nearing 3 months and I am super nervous. I am scared to go back to having HA and am doing everything in my power to eat more and train for the half marathon. I am trying not to do additional activities.Sorry for the super long email but my question is do you have any advice on what I should do?Join The HA Societyhttp://thehasociety.com/joinWork 1:1 with us to get your period backhttp://thehasociety.com/coachingVisit us on YouTubehttps://youtube.com/c/danisheriffFollow us on IGhttp://instagram.com/thehasocietyhttp://instagram.com/danisheriffhttps://instagram.com/ashley_marie_smith_https://www.instagram.com/rosay.way_wellness/The Content is not intended to be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Eli Gindi, co-founder of Gindi Capital, explains the opportunity he sees along Las Vegas Boulevard. For him, it's like investing in New York's Times Square before its transformation in the 1990s. Gindi Capital made its first Las Vegas investment in 2015 with the purchase of a portion of the Showcase Mall on Las Vegas Boulevard. Since then, the company has expanded its holdings along the Strip. Its BLVD project is now under construction, encompassing 400,000 square feet of retail space, including a 110,000 square-foot rooftop dining and experiential area.

In years past, the Las Vegas Strip was jammed full of a combination of large-scale production shows and mid-level headliners with the odd big-time residency tossed into the mix.  And of course, there were also the casino lounges, packed full of people while Vegas's finest singers & musicians performed live. But as you may have heard me talk about in past episodes - or even noticed on your own Vegas trips - the Strip has gone through a big shift when it comes to entertainment. The large-scale productions are struggling, the mid-level shows have moved off the strip (or closed entirely), the casino lounges have gone silent & been replaced with sports books or high roller rooms, and Las Vegas Boulevard is littered with marquees touting high-priced monthly residencies from huge artists at almost every resort. But what's behind this evolution?  To get the answer, I went to an insider... Vincent John from The Bronx Wanderers, who've been caught up in all these changes over the last few years, makes his THIRD appearance on the podcast. Vincent and I have had a lot of "offline" discussions about the state of Vegas entertainment, but we thought it was time for him to come on the show and have a conversation "on the record". You can catch Vincent John & The Bronx Wanderers LIVE in Vegas or out on tour across the US.  Check their schedule and get your tickets NOW!

One of the most serene spots along Las Vegas Boulevard also happens to be home to one of the biggest spectacles in the city's history: That would be the fountains at Caesars Palace - and the attempt to jump over those fountains on a motorcycle by the legendary Evel Knievel! During my last trip to Las Vegas, I caught up with Joe Friday from the Evel Knievel Museum in Topeka, Kansas.  Joe was attending the same conference I was, as he's prepping to release a brand-new podcast all about the incredible story of Evel Knievel. Joe and I talked about Evel's early life and how he got into stunt riding, how Evel "conned" his way into jumping the fountains at Caesars, his career following the jump, and much more. Joe also shared some very cool Evel Knievel/Las Vegas news with me. If you want to learn more about the history of Evel Knievel, you can visit the Evel Knievel Museum online and be sure to follow the museum on Facebook and Instragram. __________________________________________________________________________ Become a Jeff Does Vegas Insider today for only $5 USD/month & enjoy all kinds of cool perks like early access to new episodes, commercial-free versions of EVERY episode, invites to exclusive live streams & videos, insider-only virtual hangouts and even real-life in-person hangouts IN Las Vegas!

The panel rolls the dice on a game of Lords of Vegas. Lords of Vegas, designed by James Ernest & Mike Selinker, was first published by Mayfair Games in 2010. Episode Summary: In this episode, we discuss Lords of Vegas, a two to four-player, light-complexity game first published by Mayfair Games in 2010. The panel focuses on the concept of calculated risk and its integral role in Lords of Vegas. We discuss the importance of taking risks and the value of recognizing when risk-taking is no longer beneficial. We then touch on the concept of viewing the casino colors as a resource, and the tactical decision-making required to be successful in Loads of Vegas. Finally, we conclude with enthusiasm for the game, which we've played multiple times in the past few months. Visit our website and join the conversation on Discord. Chapters: (0:01:00) - Exploring Lords of Vegas (0:14:54) - Managing Risk in the Casino (0:31:14) - The Risky Strategy of Risk Mitigation (0:40:32) - Taking Risks in a Seat-of-Your-Pants Game Chapter Summaries: (0:01:00) - Exploring Lords of Vegas (14 Minutes) Lords of Vegas is a two to four-player, light-complexity game first published by Mayfair Games in 2010. The game's goal is to build big casinos, take over other people's big casinos, and make lots of money. Players draw cards that allow them to purchase property and establish blocks of casinos. Whoever has the highest die in the block is the boss of the casino, and when someone has a casino along Las Vegas Boulevard, they get big cash.   (0:14:54) - Managing Risk in the Casino (16 Minutes) Lords of Vegas is an exciting and dynamic game that requires tactical decision-making. The panel focuses on the concept of calculated risk and its integral role in the game of Lords of Vegas. The participants discuss how taking risks can help you win by rebranding existing casinos or expanding them onto a space you don't own. They also discuss the importance of being able to recognize when risk-taking is no longer beneficial. Through this conversation, the panel illustrates the strategic elements that are necessary to be successful in Lords of Vegas, such as understanding the value of certain spaces, planning, and managing resources. Players must also react to the luck of the roll and seize opportunities to make a difference by taking risks. The conversation then shifts to a discussion about their recent game, where Stephen emerged as the victor and John was a close second. The panel then address their enthusiasm for Lords of Vegas; which has seen play multiple times in the past few months, and their decision to start the podcast.   (0:31:14) - The Risky Strategy of Risk Mitigation (9 Minutes) Lord of Vegas is a game of risk-taking and calculated decision-making. The participants discussed the risk mitigation strategies employed by Stephen, and how he was able to control the large gold casino. Briefly mentioned was how Stephen's "All in on Gold" strategy was inherently risky, as one lucky (or unlucky) die roll could have undone him because he wasn't as diversified as the other players. We acknowledged the lack of casino control changes in this particular play; that control of casinos did not flip-flop as much as in previous games. We also discussed the impact of the cards drawn, and how the chance factor could be directed by the players.   (0:40:32) - Taking Risks in a Seat-of-Your-Pants Game (20 Minutes) Lords of Vegas is a game that requires players to make calculated gambles to get ahead. Though it has an unpredictable element, there are still strategies that can be employed to increase the odds of success. Players can make the most of their turns by taking risks and pursuing opportunities that come up, as it is possible to be locked out of the game if they take a passive approach. In addition, the game rewards those who take a chance and can offer a thrilling experience as players can celebrate when their risky moves yield success.   Shownotes created with assistance from https://podium.page

The Las Vegas Strip attracts all types of people. Vacationers, gamblers, foodies, partiers...and daredevils.  And there's one specific spot on the strip that's been particularly appealing to those who make their living defying death: The Fountains at Caesars Palace Since Caesars Palace opened back in 1966, the usually serene spot along Las Vegas Boulevard has played host to multiple brave - and possibly crazy - people who've attempted to jump their motorcycles over the famed fountains.  Some have succeeded but many others have failed...spectacularly. As we mark 55 years since the very first attempt on December 31, 1967, I invite you to sit back, relax and enjoy this specially re-mastered version of Sin City Stories: A Cunning Display Of Stunts. If you want to learn more about these daredevils, check out the shownotes for Volume 4 of Sin City Stories featuring articles, photos, videos and more! __________________________________________________________________________ Become a Jeff Does Vegas Insider today for only $5 USD/month & enjoy all kinds of cool perks like early access to new episodes, commercial-free versions of EVERY episode, invites to exclusive live streams & videos, insider-only virtual hangouts and even real-life in-person hangouts IN Las Vegas!

A 27-year-old man has been charged with murder after he allegedly fatally beat another man with a brick and then threatened to become a serial killer if he is ever released from prison. Officers from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department responded to the 4200 block of South Las Vegas Boulevard on October 3 at around 11:57 p.m. after receiving a report of a man down. A man with a head wound was reportedly discovered by authorities and was unresponsive at the scene. Medical personnel pronounced him dead, police said. Blood was found on a "large decorative brick" that was found near Christopher David, the victim, who was found on the ground, as reported by KLAS-TV. Malik Price was eventually identified as the suspect after more investigation. An eyewitness at a Motel 8 nearby told police that Price had tried to sell him a gun and mentioned "leaving a blood trail." According to KLAS, police apprehended Price on Las Vegas Boulevard. There was blood on his pants and shoes, and his footprint reportedly matched the one near the victim's body. Price was being interviewed when, according to KLAS's report, he began "rapping and rambling about Jesus Christ, Navy SEALs, 9/11, the Koran, and other non-relevant topics" when officers became tired of informing him of his rights. According to reports, once Price was informed of his rights, he stated that the interview was "going nowhere." According to a report obtained by KLAS, "Malik kept referring to Jesus Christ but would jump to Navy SEALs and the Marine Corps being involved in the 9/11 attacks." When authorities attempted to retrieve DNA evidence after the interview, Price allegedly said, "Because I am a vile murderer, I am the one who did it. Yes, I smacked him in the head with a gravestone. Today, I witnessed a sign that encouraged me to become a violent gentleman." Surveillance footage from police body cameras, obtained by KLAS, purportedly shows Price saying things like, "I killed that man in cold blood" and "If you let me out of jail, I'll become a serial killer." After being arrested for first-degree murder, police reported that Price was booked into the Clark County Detention Center.If you like TRUE CRIME TODAY - Be sure to search and subscribe wherever you download podcasts!

Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Christian Delpech started working in bars in 1995 at the age of 17. It was at this time that Christian fell in love with flair bartending after watching the movie Cocktail. This prompted him to start practicing by himself in his home's backyard. Christian worked in numerous places in Argentina doing shows and working flair. In 1998 Christian traveled to Spain to start his global bartending adventure and worked in Tenerife, Ibiza, Miami, Cancún and found his home in Las Vegas (which was also his dream location to work). Christian started competing in flair bartending competitions and after winning his first Pro World Championship in Vegas - Christian gets an offer to work at Caesar's Palace - which of course he took! Christian started to compete all over the world and winning multiple flair competitions - with many of them being world championships. After winning Legends of Bartending for the second time, Christian gets a job offer from Carnaval Court (a prestigious flair bar worldwide), where he worked for 10 years straight. After Leaving Carnaval, Christian opened The D Bar in downtown Las Vegas where he worked for 2 years, then opened The Fuel Bar. After 14 years of being in the best flair bars in Vegas, and being feature on bill boards in Las Vegas Boulevard (only bartender to be feature in 3 different billboards in Las Vegas Boulevard) and having his name in a Bar (The D bar), Christian leaves for a new adventure - this time to Miami and to join the team at the Bleau Bar at The legendary Fontainebleau Hotel. After Fontainebleau, Christian jumps into a new adventure, working at Mr Coco in Las Vegas - a luxury high end cocktail bar with his mentor in the cocktail world, Mr Francesco Lafranconi. In 2019, Christian returns to Miami to join the Spanglish team where he worked as head bartender for the next two years. Christian's next move - and where he currently works - was on to Sweet Liberty - where he joined the team as head bartender. Sweet Liberty was rated one of the top 100 best bars in the world. Christian has been in over 45 different countries competing, training people and performing. Christian has 19 World Championships tittles in Flair bartending under his belt, and over 60 other international competition winnings, including speed comps, and the King of Daiquiri in Florida, La Habana (the only bartender from out of Cuba to ever win this competition). Christina loves bartending in general and he consider himself a bartender (not a Flair bartender, not a mixologist, just a passionate bartender). Christian also spends time furthering his reach and influence by creating content for Social Media - especially Instagram. @christiandelpechofficial Links @christiandelpechofficial Christian's Youtube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/christiandelpechofficial TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@christian_delpech Additional Links @sugarrunbar @babylonsistersbar Little Mushroom Catering @littlemushroomcatering @the_industry_podcast email us: info@theindustrypodcast.club Podcast Artwork by Zak Hannah zakhannah.com

On February 27th Carolyn completely surprised herself by winning the Las Vegas Rock ‘n Roll 10K in a time of 42:04. She recapped the race extensively on social media so check out her Instagram for all the details (@coach_carolyn), but today we wanted to hear the story from her pacer's perspective. Not only is Kevin Beatty Carolyn's big brother, he's also a coach, an accomplished runner and our very first Inspired Soles guest from way back in Episode 3 (Treating Running Like a Sport). For this race she enrolled him to help her overcome a familiar pattern of giving up in the second half a race and then regretting it later. Even though she wasn't quite sure where her fitness was at, her primary goal was to finish knowing she'd left it all out there on Las Vegas Boulevard. As you're about to hear, not only did Kevin nail his pace bunny duties, he also capitalized on the party atmosphere and had a total blast along the way.Resources we discussed in the episode:Kevin's episode (3): Treating Running Like a SportBrandy Adolphe's episode (52): Running By Feel With 3:19 MarathonerConnect with Carolyn & Kim:Email us with guest ideas: inspiredsolescast@gmail.comInspired Soles InstagramKim's InstagramKim's FacebookCarolyn's InstagramCarolyn's FacebookCarolyn's website (sign up for her free weekly newsletter on the homepage)

The Las Vegas Strip attracts a lot of different types of people.  Vacationers, gamblers, foodies, partiers...and daredevils. And there's one specific spot on the Strip that's been particularly appealing to those who make their living defying death: The Fountains at Caesars Palace Since Caesars Palace opened in 1966, this usually-serene spot on an otherwise-busy Las Vegas Boulevard has played host to multiple brave - and crazy - people who've attempted to jump their motorcycles over the famed fountains. Some have succeeded while others have failed SPECTACULARLY.

The Russians are a people who are serious about their rail travel. I began to grasp this point with a certain nuanced clarity as we took the train north. Our car was, to put it modestly, well-appointed. The bathrooms were spacious, nicer than anything I encountered in any building in Russia. It was so clean and inviting I felt inclined to lay down on the floor and take a brief nap inside. I could lock the door, so no one would disturb me.The Russian countryside passed out our window like an old-fashioned movie background circulating on a loop. It was difficult to know what we were looking at except lots of pine trees and a few minor villages interspersed throughout. The foreground pines zipped by, while the background pines lingered in the picture.Upon getting into the city we checked into our new residence, called Cuba Hostel. We were informed that we had not gotten the proper paperwork from our previous hostel (no surprise there). The Russian government likes to keep tabs on the lodging arrangements of tourists. We had apparently failed to register with the appropriate authorities. Once you move on from your initial residence, you cannot gain this paperwork. This was a little disconcerting given that we were going to skip around from hostel to hostel every two days or so for next few weeks. The girls at the front desk gave us a slight reprimand but told us that it wouldn’t necessarily be a problem. Surely we weren’t the only World Cup tourists who had the misfortune of initially lodging with a Russian host who couldn’t be bothered to fill out the correct paperwork.We spent that first afternoon wandering from pub to pub watching the games. Our first stop was at the bar next door to our hostel, where we ordered Chicken Kiev with a Kasteel Rouge. We were gratified to discover that every entrée comes with a gratis shot of whiskey—a practice which should no doubt be more widely adopted. Argentina and Iceland played to a tie. We made friends with the Iranians sitting next to us. We also became friends with the drunk Germans, though it wouldn’t be accurate to say we made friends because a drunk German typically considers anyone close enough to share a Prost or two as a natural alliance. We decided to move to another bar for the next game. We ended up underground in a sweaty “traditional English” pub. Every room in St. Petersburg boasts a mysteriously higher level of humidity than the world outside. The best outcome is a bit of additional moisture, the worst outcome is the scent of warm cheese and Russian body odor. We sat at a table with some Americans, from the midwest, who had spent the last four years teaching in Korea and Shanghai. As we left, we nodded goodbye to the Socceroos behind us.Aussie #1: “Go Australia!”“That’s right, mate!” I replied in a good natured, moderately drunken spirit.Aussie #2, obviously a very clever lad: “Good luck to USA in the tournament. Oh, wait…”To which I replied, “Good luck remaining influential in world politics.”Oh, wait.We went out to get a feel for St. Petersburg. If Moscow is arrayed as nested circles, then St. Petersburg is arranged as intersecting lines. Moscow’s center of gravity is Red Square, and everything emanates out from it. St. Petersburg features a number of main drags along which the prominent landmarks are scattered. We walked now along one of the most touristed main drags, then up toward the Church of Savior on Spilled Blood. The extravagant architectural sensibilities that produced St. Basil’s Cathedral—the one topped with exotic sour cream and dumplings—are more prominent in St. Petersburg than they are in Moscow, as Spilled Blood attests. It isn’t nearly as dire as it sounds. Though less celebrated than St. Basil’s, it is every bit as enchanting. It’s a church conceived by Pixar animators, with improbable spires plopped upon decadent columns. A magnificent, blood red brick structure festooned with elaborate dashes of color. It is a curious mix of eastern and western, resisting easy categorization—just like Russia itself. We stood for a few moments to take in it.The church was situated right next to the FIFA Fan Zone, which we went to investigate afterward. The Fan Zone was a large concrete swath of city set aside for fans to watch the game. They served beer there, as well as some game food. The most that it had to recommend it was that the television screen was large, the alcohol was attainable, and the venue was public. It was exclusively standing room. None of these were inducement enough for us to hang out around. So we retired for the evening.We awoke the next morning at 5am with the sun high overhead and spilling into our room. We heard the sound of partying on the streets, straining to perpetuate the festivities in transition from the wee hours to more substantial ones. There were chants in Spanish. We heard someone york in the bathroom adjacent to our room. Then we fell back asleep.When we had risen for the day we set off for St. Petersburg’s ethnography museum. We found it on a street several removed from one of the cities main arteries. We were the only people on the block. Thinking the museum might be closed, we approached its vast wooden doors, standing ten feet high, and tugged on them experimentally. They opened in an empty room with high ceilings, at least three stories tall. We walked over to the ticket booth. No one in line. I cheerfully engaged the ticket clerk, testing how far English would get me if I delivered it with a gracious smile. The lady, however, seemed indifferent to whether or not a warm body found its way into the museum. She mechanically slid us a ticket and a map, then we went to explore the exhibits.The display gave accounts of the various indigenous ethnic groups of the former Russian empire: Moldovan, Ukranian, Belarussian, etc. Each display featured a tidy alcove of life-sized figurines engaged in activities, such as fishing or weaving. Importantly, the figurines were not intended to be representations of what the people looked like—with ungainly carvings and over-exaggerated features—but just to give the feeling that a scene was taking place, with a person and an action. Each display had a wall of labeled paraphernalia germane to the societies in which the peoples lived. The displays were clearly put together with great care and admiration for their subjects. The little old ladies monitoring the exhibits, unlike most museum security, seemed like they would have responded with passion and knowledge if you had asked them about the exhibit they oversaw. Of course we couldn’t because we didn’t speak Russian. The exhibits were labeled in Russian, so we were unable to understand the specifics of them. We discovered a stash of laminated cards explaining what we were looking at, but we were disappointed to find that they too were in Russian. One of the monitors observed us looking over the card and explained to us, in Russian, something lengthy and involved that amounted to the effect of “Put the card back when you’re done.”We were unable to learn all that much about the indigenous peoples of Russia, except that they were more various than we might have supposed. But it was clear from the exhibits that each of these people groups, along with the contemporary brand of Russians, were a people who payed exquisite attention to detail. Their traditional garbs without exception were complex and ornately decorated, as if they had had all winter with nothing to do but spend it sewing and had used that time productively. Whoever constructed the exhibits shared the same keenness for nuance as the people depicted. My favorite were the dioramas. These weren’t your elementary schools constructions in a cardboard box. These were fantastic beyond anything I could have ever imagined a diorama to be. They were built in such a way as to convey the appearance of linear perspective. In a typical diorama, the figures in a scene are all the same size, and looking over it as a being of larger magnitude, you have the privileged perspective to view the scene as God would, everything all at once uncommitted to any particular vantage point. This description is merely factual and does nothing to give you the sense of how much goes into executing such an effect in three dimensions. Not so with these displays. One diorama showed a seamstress workshop. The sewing stations in the back were smaller than those in the front, like they would be in an oil painting, giving the scene an appearance of depth. I was hugely impressed.Another of the dioramas was of an entire town. Every detail was carefully implemented, all the way down to the texture of the thatched roofs. I got the feeling that I was seeing the same pride in the presentation of a model city that I had observed in the presentation of a real one in Moscow.My one regret from the museum was that I got the feeling that I was looking at a varied and diverse set of people groups, but I was unable to distinguish between them. I couldn’t even contextualize them geographically, because I couldn’t read the inscriptions. They didn’t have maps, either, which would’ve been a big help. Even with that in mind, it was a delightful showcase of, in the words of the museum’s introductory video, the “universal and synchronism of culture of the Russian empire.”We were ready for a coffee break and presently found a hole-in-the-wall coffee shop on our walk back toward the main drag. I got a cup of coffee and a donut. It is well known that Europeans give Americans s**t for their croissants. And they’re right. Americans just don’t have the wherewithal to make croissants like Europeans do. I don’t care how good the bakery is. They’re not gonna make a croissant like you could get at even a mediocre boulangerie in Paris. What is less well recognized is that a symmetrical inability applies to Europeans attempting to make donuts. They just don’t get it. The proper execution of a donut is beyond them. Just as Americans don’t have the proper cultural legacy to do a croissant with that je nais se quoi, it’s not within the cultural repertoire of Europeans to get the significant details of a donut correct—from the springiness of the dough, to the proper surface tension when you bite into the epidermis, to a committed distinction between cake and raised donuts, to icing that doesn’t immediately call to mind molten plastic that is in the process of setting. Europeans couldn’t make a donut that competes with even a meager offering from Dunkin. This was, at any rate, the theory I emphatically related to Haily as I scarfed down my donut.Caffeinated and reveling in cultural superiority we made our way to the Fabergé museum. I must admit I didn’t expect much from a gallery whose most celebrated attraction is a collection of nine eggs. Big deal, right? But as soon as we walked in I was struck by a feeling of recognition. This was the same love of ornateness and convolution that had inspired the exhibits in the ethnography museum. Whereas the indigenous Russians developed complex ornamental clothing, the imperial Russians developed complex ornamental eggs. If the Moldovans or the Ukranians had had the proper equipment, no doubt they would’ve been churning out fantastic eggs all winter long. These eggs were the centerpiece of the collection, obviously—colored in glowing azures and low-on-the-horizon sunset, studded with diamonds and other baubles that made you comprehend why these ornaments are so expensive. They looked substantial enough that if you tried to pick them up your hand would immediately be pinned to the floor, like a mortal attempting to wield Thor’s hammer. They were ornate without giving the impression of being overly busy. Nothing was superfluous; if one pattern were removed, it would feel like it’s missing something. Even the rooms that housed the eggs were spectacular: gold-laced fenestration, moulding that commanded attention, and a chandelier that was, well, one big ass chandelier, which is the only thing that can separate one chandelier from another in my mind. The museum featured more than eggs, too. One case was filled with tea sets that would make Queen Elizabeth blush. This all felt like the logical extension of what we’d previously seen, and it was superbly satisfying.Now it was time for a drink. We repaired to a bar which we had identified as suitable establishment for day drinking (it was about 2:30). We were the only customers. We like being the only customers. Partially, it's about service. We don’t want to wait. Nor do we want to compete for the bartender’s attention. But we also like to get to know the person making our drinks behind the bar. That’s the difference between a chef and a bartender. The position of a chef is not customer-facing. A bartender plies her craft in the open. But these bartenders—Russian bartenders—were there solely to conduct business. They had no interest in banter or introductory dialogue, as is customary in America. Our relationship was transactional—what do you want? I’ll get it for you. You drink it. That’s it. We’d hoped instead that we might’ve made friends with the gentlemen before their shifts began in earnest and knocked back a couple convivial shots of vodka initially at our behest, then a round on the house, as a sort of celebration of a life and all that it has to offer. Alas.That night we went to the Fan Zone again. This time for the Mexico versus Germany game. Now the Moroccans and the Egyptians were out en masse. Both of these groups endeared themselves to us throughout our time in St. Petersburg. In the case of the Moroccans, you could not possibly imagine a friendlier group of people. I went around the city in my Portuguese Ronaldo jersey. The Portuguese and the Moroccans were slated to play one another the following week. Seeing my jersey, dozens of Moroccans came up to me and asked to take a picture. We may be adversaries tomorrow but today we are comrades, drawn together by the mutual respect inherent in a competition. It is an amazing sight of the World Cup to see people representing different cultures taking pictures together and acting in a congenial manner expressly because they come from opposing factions. The world can use as much of that as it can get, wouldn’t you say? The Egyptians, for their part, are very good at cheering. I didn’t meet a single North African who wasn’t a remarkably warm and agreeable person.Afterwards we went to Orthodox, the preeminent craft cocktail venue of St. Petersburg. Orthodox specializes in traditional Russian alcoholic beverages. We sampled Polugar (the Russian national drink, also known as "bread wine"), Chacha (a type of brandy, also know as "grape vodka"; Russians don't have command over an especially large array of alcoholic templates), and Khrenovukha (vodka made from horseradish root; this one infused with wasabi). Each of these base spirits was paired with a unique flavor profile, such as sea buckthorn. Afterward our stomaches felt as if they’d been experimented on by a Russian chemist. We felt finally felt culturally grounded in Russia.On our way back to the hostel, staggering jauntily through the streets of St. Petersburg, we stopped for funnel cake. Vendors are scattered throughout the streets of the city selling these absurdly delicious treats. The essential idea is to take dough, and wrap it around a tube which looks more or less like what you'd use to repaint your living room. Then you cook it on a wall of spits. After that, douse it in something sweet, like cinnamon sugar. Happiness ensues. While waiting for funnel cake, we chatted up some Moroccans. I can't honestly remember what they said, but I can tell you they were, as always, very nice.Crossing the street in Russia is like crossing Las Vegas Boulevard. The destination might only be 20 yards away, but it could take you 45 minutes to get there. It seemed we spent whole days waiting at walk signals.We walked to the Hermitage, which is known as a building of historical significance in St. Petersburg. What is less known is that it is also the world’s largest and most well-appointed doll house. It looks as if the architect was inspired by the finest playhouses available to young girls in 1950s America. It is so big that it is impossible to take in the whole façade in one view. It is also painted teal. Specifically, it’s the teal that a thirteen-year-old girl chooses when she’s bored of whatever the original color of her room was. It is a grand, feminine, and slightly surreal building.We made the long walk across the city's main bridge. It was hot enough to set brownie batter. After wandering streets that felt increasingly suburban, we chanced upon a vast, open compound. The compound, it turned out, was something of a lost and found bin of monuments and attractions. My favorite was a series of still shots celebrating Putin's presidency. They were printed out on posters the size of a large television. Each depicted a memorable moment of Putin’s term. Some of the events seemed significant, such as Putin gravely signing a document, German chancellor Angela Merkel nodding approvingly in the background. Other events commemorated seemed significant but in a different way. Take for instance a shot of ol' Vlad riding a horse bare-chested exposing the fleshy expanse of his upper body. It looked like someone had taken the kinds of pictures that a normal person would post on social media and printed them out and stuck them in the ground at the entrance to this fortress. I loved it.Among the other attractions on the premises was a tall and pointy church, several remarkable statues of giant, human-sized rabbits, like something out of Alice in Wonderland, a world-record-holding bug, and an exhibit on King Tut. We were unable to figure out what was remarkable about the bug, other than it certainly was a doozie.Then we went to the State Museum of Russian political history. Russian museums in general have the delightful benefit of being astonishingly cheap and of commendably high quality. They do on the other hand tend to have the drawback of being almost entirely in Russian. This is not especially helpful if this is not a language over which you have a solid command. They feature lots of details, not a lot of narrative. What was clear was that Russians have for most of their history been at the mercy—or lack thereof—of their rulers.Sated on Russian history, we made our back toward the city center. At length we passed a bus with the slogan for the Egyptian national team: “When you say Pharoahs, the world must get up and listen.”Oh, must they?The thing is, I’m sure this makes perfect sense in Arabic. Unfortunately it’s quite unsuitable for English. I think this is something that we tend to forget about unless expressly reminded of—just how differently sentiments can be expressed in different languages. Only when we are faced with the problem of translation (which we rarely are) does it become apparent. That being said, most World Cup national slogans are stupid, or at the very least lack wit.Poland’s for instance is, “Go Poland!” That must’ve required a lot of thought.But at least it’s a coherent thesis. Some countries are just not to be trusted in this respect. Consider Australia’s in 2014: "Socceroos: Hopping Our Way Into History!" Maybe it's best not to indulge the creative itch for sloganeering, if that’s not your strong suit.Here’s one that’s not so terrible, Senegal in 2018: “IMPOSSIBLE IS NOT SENEGALESE.” (Note that it’s not uncommon for teams to opt for all caps, presumably because it’s a more intimidating way of delivering the content than simply stating one’s slogan.) However, the slogan becomes a bit more suspect in light of the 2014 French motto: "Impossible Is Not A French Word.” See any similarities? Maybe the French wiped out the notion of impossibility during their colonial rule, who’s to say.Here’s a couple good ones from 2010. Denmark’s rather provocative claim: "All you need is a Danish team and a dream.” New Zealand’s rather casual: “Kickin’ it Kiwi style.”In the evening we set off to find an appropriate venue to watch the Belgium game. We stumbled upon a Belgian brasserie. We poked our head in and were disappointed to find that the establishment was full. Then a table in the back noticed my Belgium jersey and beckoned us over. We graciously joined them. The occupants were Belgian Moroccans, or Moroccan Belgians—at any rate ethnic Moroccans who lived in Belgium.“You Belgian?” asked one of them.“No,” I replied. They eyed me suspiciously.“Why Belgium?”I didn’t have a particularly strong answer to this.One of the Moroccans was a drinker, loud and emphatic. He pounded the table when an opportunity was missed by the Belgian national team. His friend, not a drinker, was stolid and gestured for his compatriot to calm the hell down. The non-drinker didn’t have a strong command of English. We made a brief attempt at an exchange in Spanish, and then in Dutch, both of which were more successful. It’s a rare moment on planet earth that someone is worse at English than I am at those languages. But there you are.After the game we went in search of further drink, unconstrained by association with the European lowlands. We found our way into an alley in which we had identified a cozy bar of interest the night before. We had declined to stay then since it didn’t have a TV to watch soccer. We took a couple seat along the back wall. The bar counter was three sides of a rectangle, each face with three or four seats. There were about half a dozen seats along the back wall. It was intimate. You could listen in to any conversation in the establishment if you were so inclined. Everyone there was Russia. No English menu, either. The bartender suggested some local fare: a Moscow Mule and a White Russian. We declined those offers. We managed two negotiate a couple mystery drinks—whatever the bartender found himself into at the time. We got the drinks. They were served high in sugar content, in accord with Russian preference. News spread through the bar that we were Americans. One of the men sitting at the bar leaned over to me. “My friend Roman wants to know," he asked, as if soliciting an illicit substance. "Why Belgium?”The cocktails frankly were not good but the people were and that’s just as well. That’s really the most that I can tell you because my notes from the night were not that helpful and my memories were not well retained in any more natural form. When a couple spots opened up at the bar we moved over to sit next to everyone else. We did eventually order a couple White Russians. It's a delicious drink, really. The barkeep served us another dealer’s choice, this time a Sambuca and cream (our new friends were not sophisticated palates).We saw the bartender serve a set of shots to another group of patrons. They were in vials. The set included a dozen shots in total. We ordered a round. We liked the look of it—real Russian chemistry—but it was far too much for us. We were pretty knackered at this point. So we shared with the bar. Needless to say, this act endeared us to the locals. To our left were a couple gentlemen with whom I got along with very nicely. They took a great interest in me. We suspected them to be homosexuals, so I won’t disclose their identities here since the Russian government doesn’t look kindly on that sort of thing. We spent most of the night conversing with them and then also, sitting perpendicular to us at the bar, with Roman and Roman’s friend. I impressed them all with my ability to spell Polugar in Cyrillic.Then we went back to Orthodox. We tried to convince our new friends—those of the unsophisticated palates—to come with us. It was, after all, traditional Russian alcohol. They politely had one drink, exchanged perplexed glances while they thought we weren’t looking, then took off. We ended up making friends with some Belgians. We discussed the Congo and the United Nations, or something like that. They were a very worldly pair. But we were not, suffice to say, in the best state to entertain nuanced political discourse.The previous evening I had filed a request for laundry service with the front desk of our hostel. Judging from her expression, I could not have saddled the young woman at the front desk with a weightier imposition. That morning I asked her if our laundry was done. She told me it wasn’t. “But we saw it in the drier with an hour left last night.” She gave me a pained look to confirm that I was going to make things difficult. The two of us went in search of my clothes. When after a couple minutes we were unable to locate them she sort of shrugged said, “don’t worry.”“I’m not not going to worry,” I told her. “I have no faith in you.”“It’s here,” she said indicating toward the dryer.“But these aren’t my clothes,” I said as I rifled through someone else’s delicates.She disappeared for a moment to do something else. I couldn’t tell what. I stood there and researched places I had already searched a couple times. She came back. “Don’t worry,” she repeated. “In here.”Then she reached into the dryer and pulled out a drawstring bag, which upon inspection was full of our clothes. This seems like it might perhaps have been worth mentioning at the outset.Laundry progress verified, we presented ourselves next at Kazan Cathedral. This is the most notable cathedral in St. Petersburg. It take up an entire city block, in two directions. Most of the building is a series of extended wings supported by columns, as if designed for a raised air strip, rather than a sanctuary. Entering the cathedral, you’re not struck with the same gravity that often comes with these kinds of churches. The difference is that Kazan feels that it has been preserved in a way other cathedrals are not. It is like walking into a living room where all of the furniture is covered in plastic. Everything might as well be covered in Saran wrap. The interior showed the same commitment to detail as every other cultural landmark in Russia. A long queue formed to offer a prayer in front of a small picture of Jesus. It seemed an extremely individualized experience. The visages of saints and important people in portraits hanging on the wall were noticeably different than they are in Catholic or Protestant traditions. There's something slightly unorthodox about Russian orthodoxy.Our main attraction for the day was a museum called the Kunst Kamera, the main anthropological museum of St. Petersburg. It proved difficult to enter. When we approached it from a main street, there was a small door marked “group entrance.” There was no one coming in or out, and it was too undistinguished of an entrance for such a large and significant building. We followed the building around down a side street. There was another, more conspicuous entrance. It too was labeled “group entrance.” We weren’t sure if the entrance was designed for us or for buses full of Russian school children. The queue was only a half dozen people or so, but they were lined up outside of the building waiting to get in so there were no officials to ask. We didn’t want to wait in line only to find that we didn’t qualify as a group. So we continued to walk around another side of the building down an even smaller street—a back alley, really. We found a small door marked “exit.” I’m not sure why it seemed to us that an exit was more promising than either of the entrances we’d found, but I think we were tired of inspecting doors. We tried it. The door opened, and we entered. At least that way we’d be inside.We wandered all the way through the lower level of the museum by the restrooms and the coat check only to eventually find our way back to the second “group entrance” we’d come across. This was what the people outside had been waiting to get into. We inquired with the guard, thinking it might be possible to sneak out through this door and join the line outside. Of course, it wasn’t. This was an entrance and therefore it is not in its nature to be utilized as an exit. So we walked back through the museum, back down the alley, and onto the side street. By the time we got back to the appropriate entrance the line was several dozen people long.The Kunst Kamera’s take on “anthropology” was more like a sort of human zoo or natural history museum. Each wing considered a different geographical area, and behind the glass of each case was a different tribe or people group. It was similar to the ethnography museum featuring the indigenous people of Russia in the contents of its displays, but it lacked the obvious sense of respect and admiration for its subjects. There were plastic life-sized figurines of people with exotic features and brown skin. Tools and primitive implements were arranged on the wall. It all had the feel of “isn’t this a curious specimen of a savage?” Not a good look for anthropology.Granted, material culture is difficult to interpret out of context (“What do you supposed they did with this baseball bat looking thing?”). But it really wasn’t put together in any compelling manner. The overall thesis of the museum was, “There are a great many places in the world and in each one of them the people make objects of various forms and complexions.” Not a terribly interesting or nuanced insight. It was like looking at a pile of bones and with an inscription that says, “Together these bones make a dinosaur. Use your imagination.” You don’t actually learn anything about the dinosaur from taking a casual look over an unstructured collection of femurs and teeth. It’s the same problem as a “Great Books” course you’d take in Freshman English. Yes, the collection is impressive. But it’s not about anything in particular. Really the only thing it successfully conveys is to exoticize the groups of people it features. It was heavily populated by tourists, too.I’d heard tell that there was an exceptionally peculiar exhibit in the museum but wasn’t availed of any details. I hadn’t thought much about it when I entered a wing innocuously labeled “First Scientific Collections.” I entered unaware. Before I could make note of the collection my attention was arrested by a thud and then an emerging circle of onlookers. A young girl, maybe thirteen or so, had just fainted. She was blond. Her mother was able to collect her off the floor and usher her into a chair by the window. A museum attendant came over to see if she was alright. I looked on at the excitement with interest. At first I didn’t actually associate the fainting with the display. I just figured that the girl had a condition in which she just keeled over from time to time. Or maybe she was eminently hung over. Who knows?But then I looked at the case that had temporarily relieved her of conscious bodily control. It was an exhibit featuring deformed fetuses, preserved in formaldehyde. I looked around and saw that the room was full of shelves with dead babies in jars, each with some striking defect, such as a comprehensive absence of limbs, or six eyes, or a hand where its ear is supposed to be. I would like to report that it’s not the single most disturbing thing I’ve ever seen. But I can’t. It was the single most disturbing thing I've ever seen. However the Russians and the tourists alike seemed unmoved. They looked on with a certain detached curiosity, as if they were staring at a collection of exotic flowers rather than pickled dead babies. “Tasteless” seems like a harsh critique for a venerable institution such as the Kunst Kamera. But the presence of judicious and thoughtful presentation by the museum’s curators was very hard to detect.And with that imagery to contemplate, we took leave of St. Petersburg and boarded a night train bound for Moscow.Next Episode:Thanks for checking out Season 1 of Notes from the Field.

"Gabe walked through the parking lot, onto the sidewalk, and towards Las Vegas Boulevard. Doubts about what he was doing grew heavier with each step."

Brian Lloyd joins S.T. Patrick to discuss the shootings in Las Vegas, one year later. Lloyd had previously appeared on episode 024, weeks after the shootings, and meticulously discussed the facts as we knew them then, as well as the anomalies at other hotels up and down Las Vegas Boulevard (aka The Strip). Tonight, one year after the mass murders, he joins the Midnight Writer News Show to again discuss what we currently know, especially now that Las Vegas Metro has ended their investigation and has issued their final report. Why was the timeline changed three times? What do we now know about Stephen Paddock? Why did witness Jesus Campos leave the country? What about those reports from other hotels - were they legitimate? Is there anything to the Saudi royal angle? Lloyd answers all of this and much more. Go to MidnightWriterNews.com for our FREE archives.

Have you ever wondered what happened to those fun-loving lions at the MGM Grand? In this podcast, Mark and Debbie head to the south end of Las Vegas Boulevard, to visit the lions and talk with Keith Evans, founder of The Lion Habitat Ranch.  Home to the original MGM Resort lions. A sanctuary for the cats that tourists and locals can visit.

At the north end of Las Vegas Boulevard lies the resting place for a few hundred neon signs that over the decades have graced all manner of hotels, casinos and businesses in Las Vegas. Dubbed the Boneyard, this two-acre lot has evolved into what we now call the Neon Museum. To tour the Boneyard is to take a step back into Las Vegas history because every twist of neon tubing evokes an era and every sign has its own story to tell. I was at the Neon Museum recently to see those famous signs and hear some of those stories. I spent time with Dawn Merritt, the Neon Museum’s public relations and marketing director. Afterwards, I ventured out into the Boneyard with the Museum’s collections manager and historian, Maggie Zakri. Please welcome Dawn and Maggie to the show.

This week I've got something important to say to every message board across the internet: "Everyone wants to save the world, but no one wants to help mom with the dishes." Sound familiar? That's PJ O'Rourke, world-renowned talking head and published author, whose political humor and commentary make him the butt of many an insult on message boards everywhere. He's on the show today to talk about politics and why humor is always the best policy, especially if you want to really make a difference. When it comes to being funny in politics, humor is your only option. "You really don't have a choice," PJ tells me. "To take it seriously is to indicate you're an idiot." And the same applies to the way you run your business, so be careful! If you take yourself too seriously, you're only going to end up missing out on the important, finer details. Because even in business you are still involved in politics one way or the other. Maybe you're the member of a committee, maybe you design your staff meetings as a form of democracy - either way, there is an election process, a conversation, and a show of hands that can represent your decision or point of view. And you need to be educated in your field if you ever hope to find the humor in it. Because finding the humor in your point of view means you are much more likely to start the right kind of conversations to get people on your side. Unlike politics though, comedy is hard. "I have more respect for comedians like Jay Leno and Chris Rock," PJ says, after I asked him if he respected them more than Joe Biden. And that's saying something. Humor gives you the power to generate conversations, and PJ's quirky sense of humor lends this week's show some hilarious viewpoints on these conversation starters: * The government's role in regulating capitalism and big businesses * The time and place for politics * How to find humor in high-stakes political situations * How comedy can change the way the world sees a situation, especially through the lens of the internet PJ's latest book, Thrown Under the Omnibus, comes out October 6  "Is that when it's coming out? No one told me!" says P.J. The book touches on these themes, but his conversation with me on the show today is full of the kind of jokes you want to be able to tell at your next networking event. So listen in and see how you can be the funny man (or woman) at your next business meeting. To find out more about PJ and hear more of his work, head over to his column at The Weekly Standard.

Penn Jillette is a famous magician - he's one half of the duo Penn and Teller. He has made a career out of sleight of hand and tricks. He credits Teller with getting him into magic. Penn's specialties are juggling, writing, and comedy. He suggests that when you choose a career you go into a field in which you know you can improve. He continued his education at "clown college." He was "forced" into comedy, but he wanted to be a brooding French poet. While at clown college, he learned wire walking, juggling, and tumbling. Penn says card tricks are actually a form of juggling. ============ Special Note: Both Penn and James will be presenting LIVE at next month's Stansberry Conference in Las Vegas. If you're interested in joining them and more than 30 additional speakers for two full days click here. This year's conference will take place at one of the newest and most luxurious destinations on Las Vegas Boulevard - the Aria Resort & Casino. ============ When he first began with Teller they went to bad magic shows and learned what they didn't want to do.

Penn Jillette is a famous magician – he's one half of the duo Penn and Teller. He has made a career out of sleight of hand and tricks. He credits Teller with getting him into magic. Penn's specialties are juggling, writing, and comedy. He suggests that when you choose a career you go into a field in which you know you can improve. He continued his education at "clown college." He was "forced" into comedy, but he wanted to be a brooding French poet. While at clown college, he learned wire walking, juggling, and tumbling. Penn says card tricks are actually a form of juggling. ============ Special Note: Both Penn and James will be presenting LIVE at next month's Stansberry Conference in Las Vegas.

This year's conference will take place at one of the newest and most luxurious destinations on Las Vegas Boulevard – the Aria Resort & Casino. ============ When he first began with Teller they went to bad magic shows and learned what they didn't want to do. They wanted to get away from illusions and focus more on tricks. All magic is about the perception of truth. Penn says he didn't have a choice in magic.

Today James welcomes Josh Foer to the podcast. Josh is a U.S. Memory champion, award-winning journalist, and bestselling author of Moonwalking with Einstein, which details his journey to becoming a U.S. memory champion.                                            ============ Special Note: Both Josh and James will be presenting LIVE at next month's Stansberry Conference in Las Vegas. If you're interested in joining them and over 30 additional speakers for two full days click here. This year's Conference will take place at one of the newest and most luxurious destinations on Las Vegas Boulevard -- the Aria Resort and Casino.                                         ============   Taking some of the ancient memory techniques he learned during a yearlong trip to Europe, Josh was quickly able to master techniques that have not yet made their way across "the pond." Having this advantage over American competitors allowed him to become very successful in a short amount of time. Once he brought these European techniques back to the U.S. and started sharing them, the U.S. record for memorizing a deck of cards went from  1 minute 40 seconds to just 30 seconds. One concerning question that comes to mind for both James and Josh is whether some of the modern technologies in our current world are reducing our capacity to remember things. Is Googling making us less smart? And this is not a new question, it dates all the way back to the days of Socrates, and the advent of the written word. These concerns may be valid, but it often just means a change in both how and what we remember. One of the most common questions that Josh gets is about remembering people's names. For this he has a great memory hack: Create a secondary association with the thing you're trying to remember. For people's names this can be a funny association with the sound of their name. For prose, associate it with a song or rhyme. Anything you can do to give your brain another method of associating will help you better recall it later on.

In 1955, an executive of the Fontainebleau in Miami purchased a 40-acre plot of land on the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Bond Road with the intent on building a resort with a sheik Cuban ambience.  While it never competed with the higher end properties it intended to, its success can be measure simply by the fact that the Bond road was later renamed Tropicana Avenue.

**Visit VegasTripping.Com and vote for us in the podcast, blog and Tweeter categories!**In case you haven't heard, there's a little company opening up a few new attractions out there on Las Vegas Boulevard this month and the guy behind all that is a fellow named Jim Murren. The CEO of MGM Mirage was, for better or worse, the visionary behind CityCenter, the $8.5 billion project that is finally a reality and has already opened the hotel-condo Vdara, the Mandarin Oriental and the mammoth Crystals shopping mall. In the interview you'll hear in this episode, Steve challenges Murren on several ideas behind CityCenter and Murren offers some surprising boasts – that CityCenter will singlehandedly save the Nevada economy, that he's never set foot on Encore or Palazzo and much more. Plus, Murren admits that the problems of Fontainbleau and Echelon are good for CityCenter, has tough words about Harrah's and Station Casinos regarding overleveraging and describes the green elements of CityCenter as “a gift to the United States.” Also, Steve asks, much to Murren's chagrin, if CityCenter is a Vegas version of EPCOT. That's coming up. Plus RateVegas.Com's Hunter Hillegas is here to discuss being Steve's date at the Mandarin Oriental gala last night, to tell all about his exclusive Aria tour and to explain how this Harrah's-Planet Ho thing makes sense.

The Top 12 Victory Lap Parade was held Thursday afternoon in Las Vegas. Fans overflowed sidewalks at the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Spring Mountain Road to witness what has become a NASCAR race winners signature burn out celebration performed by Jimmie Johnson.

You may not be all that familiar with the name Frank Caliendo, but it will become hard to miss it the next time you're on or around the Las Vegas Boulevard. The 35-year-old impressionist known for his work on MADTV and on Fox NFL Sunday just started a 10-year deal to appear nightly at the Monte Carlo, so Steve chatted with him this hour about how that happened, about how he felt about the cancellation of his TBS sketch comedy show and much more. Plus, he explains why he wasn't at his best the night the media came to review his show.In Banter: More pre-CityCenter thoughts, the future of non-smoking casinos, Lily Tomlin's show and slots, strippermobiles, Mirage's 20th, Golden Nugget's non-price-cutting price-cutting and more.Web: TheStripPodcast.ComEmail: TheStripPodcast@aol.comBlog: VegasHappensHere.ComVoicemail: 206-424-4737Twitter: @TheStripPodcast

His father built the Mirage, Bellagio, Wynn Las Vegas, Sam's Town, the Rio, Caesars Forum Shops and countless other iconic structures. But now is 35-year-old Anthony Marnell III's time, with the surprisingly successful opening of the $1 billion M Resort way, way, WAY south on Las Vegas Boulevard. Marnell the younger talks this hour about the future of his famous M Blimp, about growing up on Vegas construction sites and about why the new resort is in some ways a way for his father to receive the recognition he deserves. Plus, Steve confronts him about whether putting a pharmacy in a casino is, as Steve believes, predatory. In Banter: MGM Mirage's woes, Phil Ruffin's financing issue, Luxor billboards, hard-to-believe Lion King ticket sales, getting in trouble taking pictures in casinoes and thoughts on Terry Fator.

The Las Vegas Strip attracts a lot of different types of people. Vacationers, gamblers, foodies, partiers...and daredevils. And there's one specific spot on the Strip that's been particularly appealing to those who make their living defying death: *The Fountains at Caesars Palace.* Since Caesars Palace opened in 1966, the usually-serene spot on Las Vegas Boulevard has played host to multiple brave - and crazy - people who've attempted to jump their motorcycles over the famed fountains. Some have succeeded while others have failed SPECTACULARLY. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/sin-city-stories/donations
