Welcome to MtM #Vegas – Our weekly look at the cool #news and happenings in Sin City.
Labor Day came and went with decent crowd levels, but nothing more than we have seen over the Summer. We’ll talk what it was like in Vegas plus recap my night out on the Boulder Strip including one of the coolest hotel atriums, a neat dive casino and a $1.50 shrimp cocktail that was better than you would expect.
We also discuss how Raiders ticket prices seem to be falling on the secondary market. Is there a lack of support for the team? Plus someone snuck their Tesla in the Vegas Loop tunnel, a new rooftop movie experience coming to Downtown and the World Sandwich Champion is bringing a new shop to Ellis Island.

FYI the Saginaw's Deli 99 cent shrimp cocktail from 3a-5a is *with purchase of a meal. Oh, and Flint coneys > Detroit coneys
Raiders need a name change for Vegas. Also, the parking scam needs to end.
20:12 If Raiders don't make it in Vegas, perfect opportunity for Chicago area to have two NFL teams. Venue no problem, facilities already in place.
Shawn and Mark, you two are always fun to watch and listen to, and you always have the best opinions, and news (good or bad) about what's happening in Las Vegas and area.
I have never been in a Tesla, but I don't think I would ever go into the tunnel, for reasons I won't mention 😆 Keep those awesome videos coming! 👍
I love Dive Casinos!!! Please do a segment on as many as you can. Is Emerald Isle in Henderson open? Would love to see Jokers, etc. Great show, keep up the good work!
Do how do the casino's make money on Grub hub and the other food delivery services ?
UNLV football's over/under for wins this year is about 1.5. Parents don't want to send their college kid to a party town and UNLV is not exactly a high end academic institution. UNLV has serious obstacles in becoming a legit mid-major program long term. Now you add a home stadium that may never be full or even have a decent home field atmosphere.
Have you been to Emerald Island Casino? Tiny casino, All penny machines, they give out snacks at specific times! While we were there, we were given cream puffs 😋…a couple of times per hour they will approach randomly selected customers using their players cards and you spin to win! Won $25 which they gave me in cash! 😄such a fun and novel time after spending most of my years playing on the Strip or Downtown.
Thanks for another great episode. Me and my wife opens a bottle of red and watch you guys every Friday night from Sweden. Just waiting for the borders to open up again. 🍷🍷🇸🇪
A Samstown bartender told us “in the 6 years his wife and he worked there they never saw anyone hit a Royal Flush.”
Use the T3 taxi tip ONLY if you are not checking luggage. Your luggage is gonna be at T1.
Raiders sure have fallen. Remember the 90s when the Raiders were still in LA and it was cool to have a Raiders jacket? And the the jackets were also affiliated with gangs?
Hey brohiem's another GEM ! The real fubar is yet to come with Tessa! No stimulas CHECK no travelin! Doing the 3 dollar shrimp @ Oscar s in Plaza 2day the remodeled PLAZA IS INCREDIBLE!(IT'S A TOUCH OF CLASS) Can't make the hook up might I suggest the Lucky 777 @ MSS that's now reopened for the hook up after party.

Tesla Vegas Loop seems like a joke
If i cant get a room service breakfast at a resort ill just keep going to peppermill reno ,its a beautiful resort
The brisket sandwich at Ellis Island is to die for…..
Hey did you guys know that this weekend is life is beautiful ? Downtown is going to be insane..still meeting at the same place as previously mentioned?
Absolutely nothing wrong with SKY LINE CHILI!
$5 a head….Sellout. $20….Might not be many victims.
Wow great content
The Raiders did get 61,700 fans at the game which admittedly isn't a sell out but not far off. Having said that the Raiders merchandise stores that I know of (in the Fashion Show Mall and Miracle Mile Shops) were always empty whenever I went past so maybe it will take a while for them to be accepted as a 'local' team.
Thank you
So sad i can't be there for the first meetup😭😭. Weekends are already high but with that Life is Beautiful the same weekend i couldn't find anything. You guys have a great time and take plenty of pics and video to post.
Those vertical columns in the LOOP should have gaurd rails.
Princess Di is upset
The Westward Ho was one of the best dive casinos on the strip. They had a One Pound Hot Dog for 99 cents, a Shrimp Cocktail for 99 cents, and a Strawberry Shortcake for 99 cents. Later they had "Nickel Nicks" where you could buy coffee for 5 cents. One thing that sucked there was the fact that if you were playing nickel slots or video poker, the only free alcohol you could get was a draft beer in a plastic cup, lol!
Or, you know, $0.99 at Lanai Cafe in Fremont Casino for a shrimp cocktail. Although the $1.50 one looks a lot better.
Why is the guy steering the car in that tiny little tunnel? If these things are so great, and I've actually test driven one of them in bumper to bumper rush hour traffic, why are people hanging on to the steering wheel or doing anything the damn car should just drive itself through the whole thing? Also if these tunnels eventually went miles say between cities how the hell do you get out if something goes wrong? Reminds me of the escape sequence at the end of the movie THX 1138. Hopefully you can find a ladder and climb out of the damn thing.
