June 3, 2016 – This episode we’re lucky to have Neil & Annaleis from the Dark Angels and Pretty Freaks podcast to share a bunch of their Vegas adventures. We talk about casino jail, twerking and poolside cabanas. Another one of those adventures was a trip where Neil went kite sailing at the salt flats over in Primm, Nevada.

Since he did some cool stuff off strip, we paired their story with a great interview about an off strip property. We talked to Max who is the General Manager over at the Gold Strike Hotel & Casino in Jean, Nevada. Just 15 minutes from the strip, it’s located next to the new Seven Magic Mountains art installation. Stop by and say hi to Max and he’ll take care of you.
