In years past, the Las Vegas Strip was jammed full of a combination of large-scale production shows and mid-level headliners with the odd big-time residency tossed into the mix. And of course, there were also the casino lounges, packed full of people while Vegas's finest singers & musicians performed live.
But as you may have heard me talk about in past episodes - or even noticed on your own Vegas trips - the Strip has gone through a big shift when it comes to entertainment.
The large-scale productions are struggling, the mid-level shows have moved off the strip (or closed entirely), the casino lounges have gone silent & been replaced with sports books or high roller rooms, and Las Vegas Boulevard is littered with marquees touting high-priced monthly residencies from huge artists at almost every resort.
But what's behind this evolution? To get the answer, I went to an insider...
Vincent John from The Bronx Wanderers, who've been caught up in all these changes over the last few years, makes his THIRD appearance on the podcast.
Vincent and I have had a lot of "offline" discussions about the state of Vegas entertainment, but we thought it was time for him to come on the show and have a conversation "on the record".
You can catch Vincent John & The Bronx Wanderers LIVE in Vegas or out on tour across the US. Check their schedule and get your tickets NOW!
Listen to Vincent's solo work, streaming wherever you get your music including Apple Music and Spotify.
