City Cast Las Vegas

84

City Cast Las Vegas is a daily podcast and newsletter created by and for locals (and locals-at-heart) that’ll challenge the easy narratives about our city … and, okay, maybe confirm a few of them, too. Las Vegas is a city of reinvention, bursting at the seams as it welcomes newcomers into its various incarnations as a service-worker union town, a military town, a college town, and, most recently, a sports town.There’s a four-mile street testifying to our entrepreneurial genius, not far from pockets of staggering inequality. Great wealth runs through our city, but how much of that actually stays in Vegas? We’re independent in spirit, but also ruled by orange traffic cones. Our 2.5 million residents anchor an ever-changing city of 42 million visitors.Join us every morning for the messy, delightful, complicated conversations that Las Vegans are having: You’ll hear us ask hard questions about where we’ll get our water when Lake Mead runs out, and how we’ll keep housing affordable. We’ll argue over our favorite Chinatown bars, and share insider tips on the best tacos in town. City Cast Las Vegas will show you how loving a city means celebrating it and also holding it accountable, while having some fun along the way—because Las Vegans know how to have a good time.

    What Las Vegas is Talking About
    The tagline for this podcast is spot on. I love the varied topics and discussions, from public policy to entertainment, history and future thinking. The team do an amazing job at interviewing and researching. A+ programming.

    Good podcast, annoying marketing
    The hosts are great and the content is *usually* okay. My complaint is every day they push a “bonus” episode, which auto downloads, that is actually another podcast completely unrelated to Vegas. I’m sure they get money or something for it, but SUPER annoying.

    Great podcast - Dayvid is Incredible!
    Love listening to this podcast. I always take notes! Podcast keeps me connected to our amazing city from restaurants to parks to politics. This show has it all!!
  • DaSilentOnEx
    Local topics with biased political agenda
    This podcast has great potential but it’s just too much political bias. State facts on both sides and move on please…
  • RT in Houston
    Too Political
    I really appreciate all the information about Vegas, but way too polarizing and single-sided on politics. Is this a show about Vegas or a show to share your personal political beliefs?

    City Cast Vegas is wonderful
    I never miss this podcast — great news, issues, guests, opinions, trivia guessing games, etc. I live in Florida and many of your topics are generalizable beyond Vegas (e.g., how to revamp consequences for administrative traffic stops; neighborhoods taking responsibility for each other by putting food for the taking out in their yards; Biden admin preserving Avi Kwa Ame as a National Monument; etc.) Thank you to all of you for making my days so much happier, smarter, and brighter!

    Local & Quick
    Interesting topics ranging from entirely local to nationally relevant w/ a touch of Vegas. Also, the 20 min episodes make it the perfect commuter listen. Like a morning / afternoon drive radio show, but only the great commentary. Only critique, if I have to have one, is some conversations are one-sided between guests and host perspective. Would prefer a little more neutrality from hosts or adding another guest for diversity of opinions. Regardless, it’s always a fun listen and a podcast I recommend to locals in So. Nevada.

    Get to Know the Valley
    I recently moved to the Las Vegas area and am really enjoying using this podcast to get to know my new city. The hosts have great food and entertainment recommendations, as well as thorough coverage of local news stories.

    The Funnest Insight
    I keep this one close. ALL the Vegas details are here and these hosts really keep it fun! This has easily become my go-to for getting a little intimate with my city.~Lisette
  • Ms Kara
    I listen to every episode
    Love this pod so much. Makes me feel way more involved in my city and levels up my local LV knowledge.
  • Storm Family
    Better Options Out There
    My criticism is that the podcast does not do a good job covering either gaming industry specific or local LV issues adequately. I think they are trying to cover both but do neither well.
  • Kira Dineen
    Engaging, Funny, Informative
    I love Vogue and Dayvid’s chemistry as hosts. It’s such an easy podcast to listen to and I learn so much about the local scene in Vegas. Great way to start my morning. Impressive they produce a new episode every weekday too!
  • pas-ce-soir
    Great podcast for Las Vegans and non-Las Vegans alike
    I don’t even live in Las Vegas but I follow and enjoy this podcast. It’s one of the best city-focused podcasts overall. Informative, balanced and relevant. The host and the podcast team seem to really care about their city, and it shows.

    Makes Me Happy!
    I enjoy this podcast because I trust the hosts and their guests. I learn new things every episode that challenge my beliefs and help me grow. Listening to the episode on police suicide in Nevada was humbling because it made me examine some of my biases. But there are fun ones too, like learning that Las Vegas readers are just like national readers!!!! 😂😂😂 You should listen!!!
  • marc abelman
    Thank you
    This podcast touches on so many things relevant to living/having a high quality of life here. Thank you for such dialogues about relevant subjects to me and my community.

    Comforting! Not stressful! News!
    CityCast Vegas is the only news I’ve ingested since the polls closed and I feel wonderful. CityCast Vegas keeps me connected and aware but not overhwhelmed.
  • CobyCochran
    City Cast Vegas for the Win!!
    The Champs are in the building! I love the 1-2 punch of CC Vegas and am so excited to learn more about the city! Great job team.
  • (insert sad emoji)
    Finally!
    One episode in and I’ve already learned so much!!! Im already bingeing past episodes. Where has this pod been all my life?
  • LizzieG88
    Great way to get to know the real Las Vegas!
    So much of what you see on Vegas is sensationalized or focuses solely on the Strip and what tourists might be interested in. Not this podcast! I love hearing Vogue, David, and the rest of the team — who clearly love their city — talk about news, culture, and other issues that the people who actually live there should know about. Always a great listen, whether the episode is an interview or more conversational. Keep up the great work!
  • WriteOftenLiveFully
    Fun
    Vogue and Dayvid are both such engaging hosts. I love their thoughtful questions, and they clearly put their guests at ease. Amazing story selection and guest booking too. The producers are doing a great job!
  • LAlonM
    Always fun!
    Love this team! They create a fun show to listen to

    Really get to know Vegas
    Vegas is much more than glitz and glamour, get to know the city and what makes it tick with this show.
  • Sonja135
    Every Las Vegan should be listening to this
    There are a ton of reasons to love City Cast Las Vegas (great hosts, fun topics, you learn a ton), but I think most importantly, it taps into what Las Vegans care about right now — they get it. It’s clear that this team loves their city, and also wants to make it better, too. Listening to this show makes me feel even more proud to be from Las Vegas!
  • Peymargar
    Just what Vegas needed!
    City Cast Las Vegas is everything I didn’t realize I needed as a LV resident. Thank you for always tackling the hard stuff, but also keep it light and fun and engaging. The newsletter is awesome too.
  • ChiCarrie
    Fascinated
    I find Vegas so, so interesting and am loving the mix of topics the show covers.
  • AK ALMoumen
    Love the Balnce
    I love how this show balances the tenacity of Vegas from a policy and lived in experience. A city much more than it’s gaitz and glamour deserves such a passionate podcast!
  • trishafisha
    Real Deal
    The only Las Vegas podcast that doesn’t just regurgitate the hype but gives context, meaning and asks the real questions. The two hosts are very different but extremely complimentary to each other. A treat that’s been a long time coming. High recommend!
  • drClawhammer
    Entertaining and informative
    Dayvid Figler needs more airtime but good stuff
  • _thegabbs
    Best Vegas Pod!!
    My favorite thing about this podcast, and the accompanying newsletter, is that we finally have a spot to get news about Vegas, share what makes this small big town so great, and create a community built on substance, local insight, and fun! The hosts are creative, endearing, thoughtful, and easy to listen to.
  • Kaylin
    Nobody is doing it like City Cast!
    The essential vegas podcast! I grew up here and still learn so many interesting things from this podcast. Everything is covered with so much care and research and humor. This podcast is long overdue for Vegas. I love the length of the episodes, enough to teach me while keep me engaged the whole time. So much respect to the whole team! Thank you City Cast!
  • Dplotz
    Makes you realize what a great city Vegas is
    City Cast Las Vegas is infectious in the best way, full of love and curiosity and enthusiasm for the city!
  • AndiMcD2
    Surprisingly fun and addictive
    I never thought I’d enjoy listening to local news— but this show is super fun and smart and makes it easy to stay caught up.
  • Fijhnijijiiiiii
    Love it
    Very informative and easy to listen to!
  • Powerstar24
    I love it!
    Brilliant podcast, and I especially love the Dayvid Figler interview with Nicholas Russell. Excellent work!
  • rosavegas
    The host hits it out of the Raider‘s park!
    Because of the host‘s (Vogue Robinson) excellent interview with Vegas Nation‘s Heidi Fang, I am now a subscriber. The interview unveiled several points of views: *the POV of the players as Ms. Fang explained the daily physical and mental grind of a player *the POV of the city as the guest explained how the Raiders give back to the community *the POV of higher management as Ms. Fang explained what being a president of an NFL team entails (such as balancing billion-dollar budgets) Great show!
  • Slots-A-Fun Vegas
    Locals for locals
    Vegas people interviewing Vegas people about Vegas things = great listen! I like the short podcast format. Also, the newsletter is a blast. Subscribed. Looking forward to more!
  • crbikebike
    Great show by folks who know Vegas
    Is it the absolutely slapping intro music? The topics that hit extra close to home for a Vegas local? In the words of that little girl from that one meme: “Why not both?”
  • Stacy J. Willis
    Looking forward to more!
    Great launch!
  • Whyitsali
    Can’t wait
    Hyped for this show!
  • Ol Shatterhands
    Finally!
    I’m so glad Vegas has something like this
  • Joanna Rafbel
    It’s going to be great!
    I can already tell I’ll learn a lot and be wildly entertained. I’ll look forward to the 6 am’s.
