The Neon Gutter

Let the Neon Gutter Crew take you on a craps adventure (as opposed to a "crappy" one, which is our norm). We discuss the rules, bets, etiquette, superstitions, nomenclature, style, current cheap games, and the art of using a tiny plastic hand to throw the dice.

Join us as we walk on carpets from before you were born, wander down halls that even the casino owners have forgotten exist, and marvel at glorious casino themes buried under dull, modern dreck. The Neon Gutter Crew visits Las Vegas's casinos that have been lost in the shuffle, either through indifference, cheapness, or choice, and discuss whether they're better or worse for it.

Join the Neon Gutter Crew as it travels the back alleys and dark side streets in search Las Vegas's diviest bars. We meet a real clown (or is he just dressed as one), see an overdose, get chummy with a drunk and wasted "showgirl," and meet our dive bar sensei.

The Neon Gutter Crew ventures acrossr the Vegas Valley to stay at some weird hotels, the ones frequent Vegas visitors may have heard of, and been tempted by the price of, but know nothing about. The nights run the gamut from ultra-luxe to a joint where a used Band-aid held the batteries in the remote. Come along to learn of one hidden gem, how long we can spend playing with electric curtains, and how to escape with your life from one of Las Vegas's worst.

Dan, Matt, and Burt plan their next trip to Vegas and leave their lodging to chance. They have thrown the strangest hotels in town--the ones that make you scratch your head when you see them on booking sites--onto a spinning wheel and left where they lay their heads purely to chance. Join us as we find out what oddball joints we're staying at on our next trip.

The Neon Gutter pays tribute to Jackie Gaughan and his empire of low-roller joints. Jackie was Las Vegas's most unassuming casino owner and  bbecame the linchpin of Fremont Street through ownership of the Union Plaza, Las Vegas Club, El Cortez, Gold Spike, and Western, all where customers got a square deal and few frills. Many of the Neon Gutter's best memories took place at Jackie's tables, in his hotel rooms, and late night in his diners.

The Neon Gutter Crew jumps in the Wayback Machine to talk about that one time they were popular and people liked them, because they created CheapoVegas.com (which they no longer own), and introduced the world to beloved Casino Boy.

The Neon Gutter Crew ventures back to Las Vegas and encounters dragons, avoids scorpions, and embarks on a deeply important project involving Cheetos. Along the way, there are tiny horses, cheap craps, Las Vegas's sexiest aviation-themed burlesque, and the best Monday night dance party in the Valley.

It's Man versus Machine as the podcast takes on A.I. in a battle for Gutter supremacy. Find out if Artificial Intelligence knows as much about being a Vegas cheapskate as the very natural and unintelligent Neon Gutter Crew on finding the best deals, cheapest meals, and scariest thrills.

Climb into the wayback machine with us. We're turning the dial all the way to 1999, the very first time Burt joined the antics of Matt and Dan. And so did Jerry, a "Las Vegas newbie"Vegas Virgin" who Matt and Dan both tried to take under their wings and teach about the "Real Vegas." He loved it! At least, we think he did. We sort of lost track of him that weekend. Buckle up for strip clubs, ice cream socials, violent penny slot tournaments, horrific hot dogs, the death march to the Western, and more accordion than your recommended annual allowance.
