This Ain’t Iowa

For the first time on This Ain’t Iowa one of us reviews a venue that we’ve actually visited and staying true to form it’s the playboy club. Yes one of us got past the bouncers, take a listen to find out how. Well that’s what Tommy got up to Brian’s weekend was almost as good, he went shopping with his wife.

We answer the question that has been on every bodies lips, why are there so many Mormons in Vegas?

Is the volcano at the Mirage tacky or is it what Vegas is all about? After missing the entertainment at Caesars we fill you in on everything that is going on at the Mirage. Brian gives his review of a show that finished… well years ago.

Major Oscar Goodman takes feeding the seagulls to a whole new level.

Short show today, who are we kidding. So where did we get up to this thanksgiving? You’ll have to tune in to find out.

Our listeners again show us that they’re more informed than your humble hosts. We give you the inside track on the Las Vegas property market. Not only do we give you the lowdown on the properties on and near the strip, we also let you know what it’s like in the suburbs.

We don’t travel down this strip on this show, we forgot to finish our review of Caesars. It’s all about the entertainment this week. Let’s just say we are unlikely to attend the shows even if the tickets were free, but Brian’s mother gives it two thumbs up.

Our sports picks this week are even more important than normal this week, well at least for one listener.

If you have the time go checkout Don Best Sports, look for Tommy on an up coming show. Hey while we’re pimping sites please checkout Behind the Bricks, Brian’s solo podcast.

What did we get up to this weekend? Well Tom gets tipsy and Brian hangs with his buds Hunter from The Worst Las Vegas Podcast, along with Tim and Michelle from Five Hundy by Midnight. So who went 2-0 or should we say 0-2 with there sports picks?

So where is the best places in Vegas to watch boxing? Will Tyson fight in this town ever again?

Which one of us will be taking you on a guided tour of the cat houses in Pahrump? Brian Mollica claims to be married, leaving Tommy Dutch with the thankless task. Pahrump, you know how to speaker the language?

Caesars Palace is Brian’s must see casino for a first time in Vegas. Some of the best places to eat in town are at Caesars, but be careful who you take. Find the real reason Brian was turned away from Pure. You’ll have so much fun you may never want to leave, if you do want to leave good luck finding an exit.

We give our thoughts on the UNLV sports program. Why are bathrooms so hard to find in Las Vegas? Play the “This Ain’t Iowa” drinking game, absolutely.

We finally get around to the interview with the super website guru Hunter from RateVegas.com. What joints does Hunter love in Vegas? Even more importantly what does he avoid when he comes to town.

In our latest stop on the strip we check out one of the classiest joint in town, The Bellagio. The rooms are over priced and you need a decent bankroll before you think about gambling. Beautiful decor, great shopping, the finest entertainment and you can even grab a tasty bite to eat.

Whats on this weekend in Vegas? Well we have $69 rooms at the Hard Rock Casino. And stop the presses Dave Chappelle cancels another gig.

Don’t forget to get our picks for this weekend. Who have you got Michigan or Ohio State?

A jam packed show today. The guys fill us in on what they got up to this weekend and it was a good one, not perhaps as good as Brian’s wifes weekend. Iowa gets one up on Vegas when it comes to politics(thanks for the tip KGB).

What on earth is happening in Las Vegas these days? Strippers in court that’s what. Tommy’s new war cry “The Sin Will Win”.

Office hygiene how many of these rules are common sense? Apparently none, well not in Vegas.
We continue down the strip and check out the Monte Carlo casino. Find out why it is one of the most under rated joints in Vegas. I’ll let you in on a secret, it’s all about the beer. On the down side the entertainment well… sucks, not the either of us have seen it.

Due to technical difficulties we were unable to play our interview with Hunter from www.ratevegas.com stay tuned for it on the Friday show.

Shout out to our friends donbestsports.com and Hunter from ratevegas.com. We also answer feedback, even if some is a little late. Brian gets distracted and tries to turn the show into a gossip magazine.

Back on Las Vegas Tommy hangs with his best pal at the blackjack table. After our stellar review of the Luxor you might want to check out an act they have booked this weekend.

We continue down the strip and check out the New York New York. Did some one say dueling banjo’s? No we said dueling pianos’. There is a roller coaster, a Cirque du Soleil show and a few decent places to eat, but thats about it.
In the “This Ain’t Iowa” segment we wrap up the election. Who needs Fox News or CNN or Entertainment Tonight, when you have Tommy Dutch and Brian Mollica.

I almost forgot, GET YOUR LEAD PIPE LOCKS HERE.

How did Brian and Tommy meet? How did our sports picks go this weekend? Do they both end in tears?

We draw the line at gambling at a 7-11 or is it at the health food store.

Speak of the 7-11 it’s time to check out the Excalibur. Would we gamble there? Not likely. This place is value, $35 for a room midweek. Also on the upside it has family entertainment and a great place to eat, with your hands.

Back to politics on the “This Ain’t Iowa” maybe we should rename the show “The Gibbons Report.”

Trust us it’s been worth the wait… Get your lead pipe locks here.

Get your culture while it’s hot, from the Picasso to ElvisArama it’s all here in Vegas. Tommy Dutch gives us his views on the architecture of the museums and Brian Mollica talks about a giant bathtub.

Tommy’s guide to getting loaded for next to nothing.

We continue down the strip and check out the Luxor. It’s a budget room, budget tables, but it’s right in the heart of the strip.

No politics on the This Ain’t Iowa segment. It’s all about Steve “oh sh#%, what have I done” Wynn.
