Married Under the Neon, Buried in the Desert

*I've gotta apologize for the video in this episode. While everything looks exactly as its supposed to before I exported the file, something happened in the export and there are random glitches (including the first minute and 13 seconds). I'm moving away from doing it all myself, so bear with me. Thanks so much for being here! Summary Las Vegas glows with neon, champagne, and impulsive vows — but just beyond the Strip lies a desert that remembers everything. In this episode, Heather and Savannah explore how Las Vegas evolved from mob-financed casinos to corporate spectacle, and what that transformation means for the city’s identity. Through the stories of Herbert “Fat Herbie” Blitzstein and Ted Binion, they examine how illusion, wealth, and reinvention shaped both the city and the people inside it. From buried silver in the Nevada desert to champagne pops under Fremont lights, this episode asks: what happens when fantasy meets consequence?
