Listen to our library of episodes about the Las Vegas of the 80s and 90s, about us, and about how we used it as our personal playground for parties, scams, jokes, and friendship.
In this episode, Burt, Dan, and Matt recall what was surely the strangest major hotel-casino in Las Vegas, the space-themed Bob Stupak’s Vegas World, its maverick owner, and how the Neon Gutter crew exploited a loophole to enrich themselves while the property fell into decay.
In this episode, the Neon Gutter recounts the many ways they thanked Bob Stupak for the free money, free rooms, and free drinks with a series of practical jokes involving a lump of beef, police tape, Jell-o, and the most advanced printing technology the era offered to college kids.
Matt and Dan are joined by Phil and Mike for a look back to their first group trip to Las Vegas, when they were just babes in the woods, thrilled at the prospect of cheap buffets, free decks of cards, and a chance to see naked ladies.
Burt queries Matt and Dan about all the terrible places they stayed in Vegas, including why in the world they stayed in them. Join us to hear about hookers working the front desk, broken Magic Fingers, jumping on beds, and dead pigeons by the pool.
Burt grills Matt, Dan, and their guest Phil on the crummiest, dirtiest, smelliest, and most fun casinos they ever wandered into or escaped from.
In this noisy bonus episode, the Neon Gutter crew takes a live stroll down Fremont Street, from the headwaters of the Plaza Hotel at Main Street past Binion’s, the Golden Nugget and all the way East, past the D, the El Cortez and on to the husk of the Western.
The Neon Gutter gang visits the wonderful Stupak Community Center behind the Stratosphere Hotel, and plays the dreadful board game “Stupak,” conceived by Bob Stupak.
