It’s another ribald installment of the Vital Vegas Podcast, and by “ribald,” of course, we mean blitzed.<\/p>\n

We’ve got all the Vegas low-down you can stomach, including our thoughts about the new skill-based slot machines at Planet Hollywood, the first of such machines in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

\"Skill-based
Behold the future of slot machines. Ish. Future-ish.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In this edition of the podcast, you’ll hear from Vincent Rotolo, General Manager and Pizza Gandhi (probably not his real title) at Evel Pie.<\/p>\n

Evel Pie is located on Fremont East, and gives guests a throwback experience with its ’70s-era vibe and massive collection of Evel Knievel collectibles. Rotolo’s enthusiasm for pizza is nearly as great as our own, and that’s saying something.<\/p>\n

\"Evel
Evel Pie is more than just a pizza joint. It’s a time machine. Which also has great pizza, of course.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Beyond some disruptions courtesy of our de facto mascot, Pappy the prospector, we’ve got a slew of the latest Las Vegas news, as well as a hastily slapped-together “Listicle of the Week” and some Las Vegas history (the Tropicana recently turned 60).<\/p>\n

Learn more about the Raiders coming to Vegas, paid parking at Caesars Entertainment resorts, the latest Chick-fil-A opening, the fate of the famed Blue Angel statue, drama at Du-par’s and how a receipt went viral when it appeared a Strip lounge was charging $3 for ice in cocktails.<\/p>\n

\"Blue
The Blue Angel statue was a fixture downtown before it was taken down for a refresh. They say she’ll be back.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

But wait, there’s more, including Ellis Island’s new Front Yard bar and restaurant, free concerts at Fremont Street Experience, Atomic Kitchen, a shake-up at Grand Bazaar Shops, opens, closings and a spectacular cavalcade of rumors and speculation.<\/p>\n

The Vital Vegas Podcast isn’t just any Las Vegas podcast, it’s a rambling, poorly-researched, exercise in futility of a Las Vegas podcast, so listen before your earholes realize what they’ve gotten themselves into.<\/p>\n
