In this installment of the 11th best Las Vegas podcast out there, we’ve got a slew of exclusives and insider scoop to help get the most from your next Sin City visit.<\/p>\n

From thoughts about MGM Resorts severing ties<\/a> with celebrity chef Todd English due to sexual harassment accusations to rumors about Barry Manilow’s return to Las Vegas<\/a> and the location of the Raider’s new training facility, we’re driving P.R. departments crazy and couldn’t be prouder.<\/p>\n

\"Barry
Rumor has it Barry Manilow will be back for another Las Vegas residency, this time at Westgate, in 2018.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This week’s listicle is a recap of all the biggest sports and entertainment venues in town and their capacities. In fact, here’s the listicle now!<\/p>\n

11 Top Las Vegas Sports and Entertainment Venues and Their Seat Counts<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Orleans Arena – 9,500<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. MGM Grand Garden Arena – 16,800<\/li>\n
  3. Mandalay Bay Events Center – 12,000<\/li>\n
  4. Thomas & Mack Center – 18,000<\/li>\n
  5. T-Mobile Arena – 20,000 (see below)<\/li>\n
  6. Colosseum Caesars Palace – 4,300<\/li>\n

    The point: With all those seats (nearly 200,000), Las Vegas may be looking at a severe shortage of keisters, or whatever the kids are calling them these days.<\/p>\n

    \"T-Mobile
    Think of this as a sonogram of the T-Mobile Arena, taken back in Oct. 2014.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    As always, there’s a slew of Las Vegas news, perfunctory as it may be: Casino Royale has ended its 15-year $1 beer promotion<\/a>, Pizza Lotto’s calling it quits at El Cortez, Troy Liquor Bar has opened at Golden Nugget, Salute’s set to close<\/a> at Red Rock (we know its replacement) and more.<\/p>\n

    We’ve got closings, openings and a metric hell-ton of drunken rambling, so don’t miss out on the only Las Vegas podcast you can afford to miss.<\/p>\n
