Like many refrains, this one is idiotic.<\/p>\n<p>Las Vegas isn\u2019t dead. It\u2019s having a moment, though.<\/p>\n<p>We were honored to be asked on the City Cast podcast to discuss whether or not Las Vegas is dead.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the description from the episode, which will help fluff up this story even further: \u201cLas Vegas is at the center of a growing national narrative, one filled with dramatic headlines, viral outrage and talk of economic decline. Co-host Dayvid Figler sits down with Scott Roeben of Vital Vegas to separate fact from frenzy. Is the Strip really struggling, or is this just a case of exaggerated doom and gloom? From falling visitor numbers and pricey margaritas to corporate missteps and political noise, we unpack what\u2019s really going on behind the scenes, and what it means for the city\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p>You can listen via the embedded player below or visit the <a href=\"https:\/\/lasvegas.citycast.fm\/podcasts\/is-vegas-really-dead\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">City Cast Web site<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm\/?p=CC2180250939\" width=\"100%\" height=\"328\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Our belated congratulations go out to Dayvid Figler and the City Cast team for being named \u201cBest Las Vegas Podcast\u201d in Las Vegas Weekly\u2019s \u201cBest of Vegas\u201d awards for 2025. It\u2019s weird to give an award away for a given year when the year is only half done, but it\u2019s not like we\u2019re suddenly going to start doing our podcast again, so they can have the damn thing.<\/p>\n<p>On a related subject, we were asked why we weren\u2019t selling \u201cVegas is dead\u201d merch.
