On this episode of the Vegas 30 Podcast, we give a report of our latest trip to Vegas. Among other things we talked about how our opinion of South Point has changed (hint: it has to do with being over 30), and whether we recommend Absinthe over Zumanity, even though the two shows have very similar elements.

We also discussed how you can tell (without wasting your money on a show) if a show isn't doing well in Vegas, and why in certain circumstances you should avoid sitting in the front row at a Vegas show.

Are you politically incorrect if you insult everyone in the room? [Tweet This]
