It’s our final episode of Season One of the self-acclaimed Vital Vegas Podcast, and we’ve got a cavalcade of fairly useless news, information and WTF for your aural cavities.<\/p>\n

For starters, we hear from a Las Vegas legend, Benny Binion. Inspired by the book “Blood Aces, The Wild Ride of Benny Binion,” we slap together a monologue covering Benny Binion’s early days and rise to power.<\/p>\n

\"Blood
We’re fairly sure our depiction of Benny Binion is going to result in a lawsuit, which would be just awful were it not for the fact we have a bailiff fetish.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We also cover all the latest Las Vegas news, including the Monte Carlo rebrand<\/a>, the start of paid parking at MGM Resorts<\/a>, the asshats who defaced the Seven Magic Mountains sculpture, Sheldon Adelson’s move to complete the stalled St. Regis tower, plus a slew of Las Vegas drama surrounding David Copperfield, Jan Rouven, Gregory Popovich, comedian Vinnie Favorito and “Chumlee” of “Pawn Stars.”<\/p>\n

This week’s listicle is a keeper, literally: 10 Cheapskate Las Vegas Keepsakes. And, no, we’re not entirely sure people still use the word “cheapskate.”<\/p>\n

It’s everything you want in a Las Vegas podcast and much, much less, so take a listen.<\/p>\n
