It’s a celebratory installment of the podcast you probably didn’t even know exists!<\/p>\n

In this episode, we continue our victory lap for the walloping<\/a> we gave Sahara and its baseless lawsuit. We’re pretty sure the gloating will subside by episode 200, should that ever be a thing.<\/p>\n

The big “get” in this episode, though, is a pair of interviews with the co-owners of the shiny new Circa Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Derek and Greg Stevens generously share exclusive details about their new downtown Las Vegas casino that’s generated lots of buzz since it opened Oct. 28, 2020.<\/p>\n

While we’ve had Derek Stevens on the podcast frequently, this is the first in-depth interview we’ve done with his brother Greg Stevens.<\/p>\n

Greg Stevens takes us behind-the-scenes with insights into Circa’s innovative ventilation system, beer delivery technology and even the “science of water” used to amp up Circa’s pools.<\/p>\n

Fun fact: Circa pumps CO2 into its pools. It helps make the water a little bluer and sparkly. It also aids in maintaining the pH balance.<\/p>\n

But wait, there’s more!<\/p>\n

This first part of a Circa two-parter has an enlightening conversation with Rick Juleen, V.P. of Business Development for YESCO, the Las Vegas sign company tasked with restoring the iconic Vegas Vickie.<\/p>\n

Vegas Vickie is the attention-grabbing centerpiece of Circa, and Juleen talks about how she was overhauled for her return to Fremont Street.<\/p>\n

\"Vegas
Welcome back, you tall glass of noble gas, you.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We even got some serious scoop, confirmation of Vickie’s rumored “enhancements,” so check it out.<\/p>\n

Our next episode will feature conversations with all the folks involved with Circa’s restaurants, as well as a chat with Jeff Victor and David Rosborough, two Vice Presidents of Circa, each of whom have been key figures in the development of this new downtown destination.<\/p>\n

In an upcoming episode, we’ll also chat with Alice Little, the sex worker who is suing Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak for refusing to reopen Nevada’s brothels.<\/p>\n

Yes, we understand you care more about hearing from a sex worker than Circa executives, but patience is a virtue, freak.<\/p>\n

Here’s the latest episode of the Vital Vegas podcast!<\/p>\n
