Tap into your inner degenerate with this episode all about gambling, casinos, and the Las Vegas lifestyle. Derek Stevens, owner of not one, not two, but three downtown Vegas hotels/casinos joins us to discuss, quite literally, what happens in Vegas. What does the life of a Vegas casino owner actually look like? Which game really has the best odds? How has Vegas evolved over the years? Derek also gives us the inside scoop on his brand new Circa Resort &amp; Casino that just opened in October -- Vegas’ first-ever “adult-only” casino. In Hot Takes, Tim and Eben discuss whether gambling is for suckers, and if your friend who falls in love with the stripper is actually full of sh*t.  <a href="https://www.circalasvegas.com/?utm_source=gmb&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=listing">Circa Resort &amp; Casino</a><a href="https://www.thed.com/?utm_source=gmb&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=listing">The D Casino &amp; Hotel</a><a href="https://www.goldengatecasino.com/">The Golden Gate Hotel &amp; Casino</a>

Ep. 12: Hotel Confidential with Author Jacob Tomsky

No Blackout Dates, hosted by Eben Diskin and Tim Wenger, is the official podcast of Matador Network and provides a truly unfiltered and honest look at the world of travel and adventure. Join these two travel writers each week for completely raw stories from the road that any responsible editor would (and has) cut from print. They talk about what it’s like to travel for a living, introduce you to the wild characters they’ve met along the way -- from astronauts and flight attendants to Amsterdam sex workers -- and expose a side of the travel lifestyle that Rick Steves doesn’t want you to know about. No Blackout Dates introduces you to the beautiful, bizarre, and batsh*t crazy world of travel!
