Our dear friend and prolific podcaster Mark Wojtowicz passed away on July 30, 2025 in Las Vegas, the town he loved, reported on in hundreds of podcast episodes<\/a> and chronicled in his book, “Vegas.” He was 49.<\/p>\n

Wojtowicz (pronounced “wuh-TOH-witz”) was host of the beloved “360 Vegas Podcast,” which launched in 2010, and a Las Vegas history buff.<\/p>\n

He took his own life after a long struggle with mental illness.<\/p>\n

Mark would want us to write a joke, but we’ve got nothing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The best way to get to know Mark Wojtowicz is to listen to his podcast.<\/p>\n

He served as host of the popular show which also featured his wife, Keren Wojtowicz and Tony Snyder, a lawyer by profession.<\/p>\n

Wojtowicz produced more than 500 episodes (we co-hosted a number of them), plus another 200 special installments focusing on Las Vegas history.<\/p>\n

He was interviewed on other shows, like Talk About Las Vegas<\/a>, Strip Talking<\/a> and, most recently, The Bettor Life<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The “Bettor Life” episode is especially poignant given Wojtowicz spoke frankly about his mental health challenges, and specifically talked about his Bipolar II diagnosis, bouts of depression and frequent suicidal ideation (thinking about, considering or planning suicide).<\/p>\n

Wojtowicz spoke often of the fact his passion for Las Vegas, and music, provided relief from some of his symptoms.<\/p>\n

The news of his passing was shared on social media by his wife, Keren.<\/p>\n

@360Vegas<\/a> lost his battle yesterday.
I appreciate everyone’s love and support.
I ask for time to process and grieve.<\/p>\n
