We also talk about his current views about what’s going on in Sin City and what he misses about Vegas.

June 14, 2018 – When traveling to a city, it’s easy to get lured in by the trendy popular, well known places. But if you’re a seasoned traveler, you know the best places are the ones that the locals recommend. This episode, with the help of Yelp Community Manager Taylor, we dive into some of the lesser known bars and restaurants just on the outskirts of the strip. I also talk to Jeff L. about an unfortunate experience he had while venturing off strip and about his three favorite bars in LV. I’m also joined by Chris Taylor, aka Vegas Bun Boy, for a lively discussion about “How is this not a thing in Vegas?”.
