Random Vegas The official temperatures in Vegas on Wednesday, March 26th was 90 degrees. It's the 5th earliest 90-degree day in recorded history. (LasVegasLocally) TwitPic of the week @Summacorp shared a different strip for a different time in this week's winner. North strip, today a collection of condos and properties too far removed from the rest of the strip was once densely populated. Properties like the Frontier, Stardust, Silver City, Riviera, Silverbird and Sahara all called it home. Today, the only thing missing is Riviera and Frontier. The rest have been replaced. Stardust is now Resorts World, the Silverbird is now Fontainebleau and without Wet and Wild water park you realize, Sahara has always lived on an island. For those of you that don't know, we don't typically report on anything coming out of Sahara because they once sued Vital Vegas for reporting a rumor that the propety was for sale. Vital Vegas won the suit but the whole thing turned us off of doing anything related to Sahara which is disappointing considering her history as a property.

Computer systems have been down for almost two weeks at MGM Resorts properties nationwide. What the company called a cybersecurity issue was later revealed to be a ransomware attack by hackers who accessed their systems from a phone call. Guests have reported everything from online booking services to the lights in hotel rooms not working. In the midst of this meltdown, Caesars Entertainment revealed that they were also hacked less than a week earlier.

Scott's back for his fourth appearance, but this time as "co-host." That's in quotes so you know that the author of Vital Vegas is NOT on the Plaza payroll.

He's been posting YouTube videos on life in Vegas for several years under the easy-to-remember title: Jacob's Life in Vegas. He regularly updates fans on the craziest stuff happening here. He strives for fairness, such as doing a video on why you should stay at a certain hotel, then another video on why you should NOT stay at that hotel!

Random Vegas All the rooms at the Golden Nugget are now non-smoking. It's believed the practice was put into place after the last room fire they had on the 11th floor of the Gold Tower in 2021. That fire damaged about 200 rooms, mostly water damage from the sprinklers. (Vital Vegas and Vintage Research) Twitpic of the week Seems no one remembers that Stardust was a run down, low-roller joint at the time of its closure. Similar to my love for Dunes, when we lose something we only had limited or no exposure to we romanticize it. Like this week's winner from @Summacorp. It is not disputed that the Stardust marquee is one of the most iconic in Vegas history. Fortunately that sign was donated to the Neon Museum. The bad news is the sign is so large odds are it will never be refurbished and relit at the Neon Boneyard but one can hope. News Downtown Shooting Slide to win A's Update Todd English exodus part 2

This week, Ira spoke with Scott Roeben, founder of the “Vital Vegas” blog. In this episode of “Talk About Las Vegas With Ira,” Scott talks about his start in Las Vegas blogging; how he gets his scoops (many of which make the national media); his nontraditional approach to writing about Las Vegas news; how he cultivates sources; his biggest scoops; and the importance of having fun.
Nevada lawmakers in DC say they're on board with President Biden's new Junk Fee Prevention Act, announced last week, with one exception: The resort fees charged by “our world-class casinos and hotels,” which they say are up front and transparent. But resort fees can double or even triple the nightly cost of a hotel room here in Vegas — and if you've heard from any tourists lately, they're not happy about it. Today, co-host Dayvid Figler talks with longtime casino industry observer Scott Roeben, better known as the author behind Vital Vegas. They talk about how the internet spurred a surge in resort fees, and why Scott has some serious reservations about how their rise could affect our city — for locals and tourists alike. What do you think — are resort fees outta control, or do our hotels need them?

Random Vegas Caesars Entertainment's loyalty program uses 90 different demographic segments for its customers. "Player value" is most associated with frequency of play, type of game played and number of coins/credits per spin or hand. (via Vital Vegas, via "Addiction by Design" by Natasha Dow Schull) Twitpic of the week I never had the chance to check out Lady Luck. The first time I came to Vegas was 2004 and the property was already closed at the time. I'm told, at least in the end, she was a dump. But there is something about neon that romanticizes the past, regardless of its shitholery. That's what Lady Luck's Neon exterior does. It's a shame that we lost such an iconic name as well but again, having never experienced the place for myself, its easy for me to say. My vision of the property will always be influenced by the feelings it stirs up when I look a pictures like the one shared by @summacorp. News Sick New World Vegas The Grandstands of Bellagio
Imagine 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 seems to have a love of all things downtown that I don't necessarily share.) But the buzz kept growing, and it really piqued my curiosity. I knew about the previous Miss Behave show - which was at Bally's - but only by name. I also am not afraid to admit that I'm kind of a value shopper when it comes to Vegas. I'm always looking for the deals and the bang-for-your-buck. So when I found out that's tickets were $25 each, I was sold. By the way, they've since gone up to $39 per person, but this is still a hell of a deal. You'd be hard-pressed to find another show in town at that price. A little more on cost later. Cheapshot in Fremont East is a whole mood. Miss Behave's Mavericks is playing at Cheapshot, which is in the first block of Fremont East, in the space formerly occupied by Beauty Bar. We saw this show in July, and of course it was super hot outside. Seating is first come first serve, so we wanted to get there early to get good seats. Now this was probably our least enjoyable part of the experience. It's Vegas. It's July. It's hot outside. We arrived at 6 for a 7:00 curtain time. The website said the doors opened at 6, so we're thinking this shouldn't be a problem. But there's a fence and a closed gate in front of the doors, and they aren't letting anyone in. I was thinking that maybe they were doing this to make the show seem better, because whatever was inside was better than standing out on the street and melting. The show could have just been watching aardvark's shitting and it would have been great as long as there was air conditioning. Honestly, the venue staff did their best to try to make up for it. Miss Behave herself (the stage name of performer and host Amy Saunders) came out and apologized and handed out cold water bottles. She explained that the doors didn't actually open until 6:30, and she had requested several times for the info online to be changed, but it hadn't been changed yet. Keep in mind that when we arrived, there were 2 groups of people in front of us, and before they finally let us in quite the line had developed behind us. Since seating is first come, first serve, I recommend you still arrive about an hour before showtime, even if the doors open only 30 minutes prior. Just have a cold drink in hand, and maybe choose your show time carefully. I'm just grateful that the venue is on the south side of the street, so we had some shade. Look, I'll be honest: I have no idea what's happening here. A few words about seating… As I've already mentioned, the venue is first come, first serve. When it was our turn to be seated, they asked if we wanted to be more towards the front or more towards the back. I said “more towards the front” and they put us right smack in the front row. I wasn't expecting this, but was fine with it. If I didn't want to be so close, like some people might, I'm sure they would have moved us if I requested it. The chairs were small cane-back chairs that had no cushions, so it was a little uncomfortable. Lacking a better option, I ended up setting my drink on the stage. Speaking of the stage, like the venue, it's very cozy. There's only room for maybe a dozen people in the front row. Everyone is in the same style of seating, and our chairs are on the floor in the bar - there's no slope like theater seating has - so it might get more difficult to see the further back you are. Thankfully, it's such a small venue that I don't think this is an issue. One other point about the venue, my wife wants me to point out that the restrooms were nice and big and very clean. Drink service at the venue is excellent. They have a decent-sized menu (available online) of standard cocktails (old fashioned, sex on the beach, margarita), beers, and wines. Drink prices are reasonable for Vegas. Here's where another cost comes in. You should bring cash to the show - about $20 or so per person - in order to show your support for the performers. See, Miss Behave's Mavericks likes the audience to support performers “strip club style” by throwing bills on the stage. It's a fun gimmick that is very Vegas-appropriate. Even if you've just got a crisp $20 bill in hand, they'll make change for you before the show. Okay, so let's talk about the show itself. Miss Behave's Mavericks is a variety show. It's a very eclectic variety show. It's sometimes thrilling, sometimes soulful, sometimes sexy, somewhat confusing and very hilarious. I like to think of it as “Absinthe Lite.” This means that the show I saw is not the show you're going to see, but let's face it: that's not the worst gamble you've taken in this town. We saw a gender-bending strip act that brought the “confusing boner” phrase back to mind. We saw a little person on roller skates do a deliberately terrible dance number to “Total Eclipse of the Heart” that had me in tears from laughing so hard. You might see hula-hooping chicken. Who the fuck knows? Miss Behave herself is the emcee, and she's excellent. She's quick to explain the money throwing thing, that pictures are okay and social media is encouraged, and she's very clear that everyone is there to have a great time. I'm not sure that I can articulate this without sounding hokey, but for what it's worth, we truly felt that they wanted to be gracious hosts and as welcoming as possible. Oh and she also swallows swords. That was nuts to see from the front row. Trice B Phantom brings the soul Singer Trice B Phantom is a frequent performer, and he sang an amazing rendition of “What's Going On,” that I felt unworthy to witness. The icing on the cake for us was burlesque performer “Banbury Cross” who closed out the show with the best burlesque striptease I have ever seen, and I consider myself a bit of a connoisseur. Unfortunately for all of you, she was only there for a limited two week run. This is how Miss Behave's Mavericks operates. Some performers are regulars, some are in town for limited shows, and some, such as Tape Face, might even be from other local shows and just popping in for a show or two. Like Forrest Gump and his box of chocolates, you never know… From a risk/reward standpoint, even if you don't like the version of the show you end up seeing, you're out the cost of a low-priced ticket, maybe an in-expensive drink or two, and you're a half block from FSE. For us, when the show was over we wanted to stay. Cheapshot converts into either a club or a piano bar after the show depending on the night, and we really just wanted to stay, drink, and party with the performers. Unfortunately, we had reservations back on the strip. We've already talked about seeing Miss Behave's Mavericks again, and making sure that we don't plan anything after the show. Something I'll be including in reviews is what I call the “A.F.F.” or Audience Fuckery Factor. Some people hate to be singled out or involved in the slightest, and it's important to point out when you might accidentally be drawn into the show… There was one person a few seats from me who helped the little person with this “Total Eclipse of the Heart” number, but I think this can be expected when you're in the front row. There's a few performances that started away from the stage near the front door, and they worked their way through the crowd towards the stage. Miss Behave herself does some of her emcee work by standing on the bar, probably in an attempt to draw eyes away from the stage while they switch out equipment or set pieces. Anyway, if I haven't made it clear, this show is an ever-changing thing. Even if no one in my audience was messed with, it doesn't mean no one in your audience will be messed with. I think you'll have a blast either way. Better start figuring out how to sell the wife on this now The wife and I thoroughly enjoyed Miss Behave's Mavericks. It is easily in my top 3 Vegas entertainment experiences, and number 1 in terms of value. Something that is important to note: I learned as I was finishing up this review that the show is going into hiatus after Thanksgiving. If you know anything about entertainment in Vegas, you know that “hiatus” can often be code for “closing at this venue, but we won't say ‘closing' to give the show a chance to find another space.” I sincerely hope that is not the case here, because this show is an absolute gem and deserves all the life it can get. If you're going to be in Vegas between now and Thanksgiving I encourage you to check the show out, so there's no question that Miss Behave's Mavericks returns in spring, which is when they say we can see it again after the holidays. Tickets are available directly at the venue's website which is at cheapshotdtlv.com. At the time of this review, shows are Thursdays at 7, Fridays at 8, and two shows on Saturdays at 8 and 10:30.

Dive headlong into another excrutiating episode of the Vegas podcast once described as "a brisk kick to the earholes, but not in a good way." We chat with Amy Saunders about "Miss Behave's Mavericks" and a metric hell-ton of scoop, opinions and aimless meandering.
It's another whirlwind episode of the podcast you can't be truly fulfilled without. We've got interviews with Jonathan Jossel, CEO of Plaza, talking about some big changes in the works for this downtown casino. Next up is Derek Stevens, owned of Circa, The D and Golden Gate, as we chat about Sigma Derby, an old-school slot with a cult following at The D. There's also a metric buttload of scoop, Vegas news and more.
Scott from @VitalVegas joins us for a fun filled 500th episode, thanks for listening www.vitalvegas.com https://www.bettyinthesky.net/
Vital Vegas blogger Scott Roeben is back as the podcast's first-ever THREE-TIME guest! And there is plenty to discuss. For one, Scott is not a fan of the statue of Oscar Goodman with Tony "The Ant" Spilotro, and he lets Jonathan know why. Jonathan smooths it over by taking Scott's advice on a new combo item for the bar (you'll have to listen to find out what it is). Jonathan also teases Scott about a new expansion project that's not been announced. And it all starts with Scott talking about a sudden video poker jackpot - two of them - just before we recorded. Much to producer Rich Johnson's dismay. Hosts: Jonathan Jossel, Lisa Melmed
