Bonus The Legacy of Las Vegas

Even though gambling is hardwired into our DNA, and it is a global phenomenon, few would question that Las Vegas is the Casino Capital of the world. As such, it has quite an interesting history, from the days of silver prospecting, to the modern days on online sports betting. Listen as Dr. Schwartz and I discuss the poker boom, drive-thru divorces complete with a pastor Elvis, Howard Hughes buying up hotels on his way to becoming a hermit, and the importance of The Mirage Effect.
