F1 Vegas Success or Failure, Rio Cheating Again, Goodbye NoMad, Arts District Overload & Blue Man!

Episode Description: As a reminder you can watch this show as well at: http://www.YouTube.com/milestomemories This week the big race came to town and depending on who you talked to the story would be different. We'll cover the race, what it was like being on the Strip, whether it was busy, how the city was and whether or not F1 makes sense on the Strip long term. From the busy monorails to the "escalator trick" we have you covered! In other news Rio is being sneaky again with their Hyatt partnership as the Chippendales announced their plans to leave for the Strip. We also discuss our adventures around the city eating pizza and visiting some of the coolest bars in town. Other topics include: the opening of Jason Aldean's restaurant, Blue Man Group closing some shows outside of Vegas, the Neon City Festival and Mark's final NoMad Vegas stay.
