ZorkCast - Vegas Podcast + Yo-11 Minutes - Casino/Travel Loyalty, Casino Experience, Gambling and Luxury Travel

Today we welcome fellow podcast extraordinaire Jeff Walker onto the show to talk Vegas with our co-hosts, Michael and Steve. As the mind and voice behind Jeff Does Vegas, he reports on a range of topics while sharing his advice on how you can get the most out of your trip to the Entertainment Capital of the World.
We open our show by chatting about Canada’s casino scene and how it’s been affected by pandemic lockdowns. Michael opens up about his recent time in Harrah’s Southern California before touching on the confusion surrounding American and UK COVID policies.
We then dive into Jeff’s love affair with Vegas and how it led to the birth of his podcast. While many go to Vegas to gamble, Jeff talks about its many other attractions, including its restaurants, atmosphere, and shows. After sharing their difficult experiences getting into blackjack, we hear about Jeff’s views on loyalty and rewards programs.
We discuss why the quality of stay in properties can vary depending on when you go, and Jeff highlights why he appreciates all of his Vegas visits. Later, listeners will benefit from hearing Jeff’s top Vegas tips and insight into the restaurants to eat at and which shows to go to. Tune in to hear our delightful conversation with Jeff Does Vegas, even if it is punctuated by the odd inappropriate joke.

Many people are making a fuss about having to adhere to COVID restrictions while traveling, and today we respond to this trend, with our old friend Michael Friedman as our guest. If you feel like you don’t want to be told what to do, rather stay home and wait for this pandemic to blow over, instead of traveling anyway and then making a scene on social media about how terrible of a time you had.
Many parts of the world still have to follow strict restrictions, and Las Vegas is no different. Your travel experience will not be what you would expect in pre-pandemic times, and your decision to travel should be about whether you can accept this or not. We all share our individual approaches to traveling right now and talk about some of the deals and services being offered by airlines.
In this episode, we also talk about some of the other big movements happening in Vegas, such as the opening of the new Virgin Hotel and Casino on the property that used to be Hard Rock. Virgin decided to renovate rather than rebuild, which preserves a sense of the property’s history. For all this and more about how the pandemic affects Vegas and travel plans in general, tune in today!

[Important Note: The entire landscape and rules and regulations for the openings of casinos in New Jersey is a "moving target." We recorded episode 90 on June 24th, 2020]
When the first Atlantic City casinos opened, players used to queue along the boardwalk to get in. Now that the city is reopening its casinos from July 2nd, not many people know what to expect. With limits on how many people can enter Atlantic City’s casinos, we may get to see lines snaking along the boardwalk again. To get more context on the situation, we speak to Caesars Rewards Expert and the mastermind behind Seven Stars Insider, Darryl McEwen. We discuss which hotels have committed to opening and what their health regulations might look like. With not much information released yet, Darryl shares his view on what the much spoken about ’25 % capacity limit’ might refer to. We talk about what COVID-19 health protocols are in place in Vegas and how there are inconsistent rules among the different casinos — and even among the different American states. We speak about how these health rules might influence the number of patrons visiting Atlantic City casinos before exploring how they might impact casino benefits and services. Darryl tells us what to expect and then gives his impressions on how the New Jersey governor is handling the situation. With Darryl’s expert insights, our conversation provides a view into what playing will be like in the foreseeable future.
