It’s time to stuff your earholes with some Las Vegas news and scoop with episode 118 of the Vital Vegas Podcast.<\/p>\n

\"Vital
We spent $40 for this logo on Fiverr, so we’re damn well going to get some use out of it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In this installment, we chat up Tim Arnold of the Pinball Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n

The Pinball Hall of Fame has come up short on funds<\/a> to finish its new location on the Las Vegas Strip thanks to the pandemic, and Arnold is asking for help to avoid the project being derailed.<\/p>\n

Also, you’ll be privy to the inside track on Virgin’s delayed opening date and lots of other insights from CEO Richard Bosworth.<\/p>\n

Bosworth shares exclusive details about when Virgin might open, and the challenges being faced trying to open during a surreal time.<\/p>\n

\"Virgin
This recent Virgin Las Vegas rendering puts us in the mood to chillax or whatever people are doing now.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We also review Eiffel Tower restaurant at Paris and drone on endlessly about how much we love 8 East at Circa and Al Solito Posto<\/a> at Tivoli Village.<\/p>\n

Naturally, we blaze through a cavalcade of Las Vegas news. The printed version of Gaming Today magazine ends Feb. 10, CSI: The Experience has closed permanently at MGM Grand, Elio at Wynn has closed and the next iteration will get an injection of restaurateur Elizabeth Blau, chef Hubert Keller out at Mandalay Bay, Lady Godiva is closing up shop in Vegas and the mall in Primm has been sold for $1.5 million (not a typo).<\/p>\n

You’ll also hear our response to the constant badgering about us running for Nevada Governor. Here’s our platform!<\/p>\n

1) Bring the lottery to Nevada.
\n2) Tax the mining industry more.
\n3) Tax the casino industry more.
\n4) Legalize prostitution.
\n5) Ban paper straws.

\n8) Ban cigars.
\n9) Make Las Vegas “toptional.”
\n10) Top Dollar offer transparency.
\n11) More sports! (Also known as pandering.)<\/p>\n

Do we even need to campaign?<\/p>\n

Take a listen and get your Vegas fix, zero calories, gluten or hidden fees!<\/p>\n
