It’s time for another forgettable installment of the Vital Vegas Podcast, brought to you by the Seven Deadly Sins, excluding Greed, because the demands in Greed’s rider were utterly ridiculous.<\/p>\n

\"Vital
Of all the podcasts you’re not listening to, this is the one that most warrants that distinction.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In this week’s Vital Vegas Podcast, we speak to Ralph Cautela of 34th Floor Hospitality about Citrus, the new pool concept<\/a> at Downtown Grand.<\/p>\n

We also hear from the creator of Life Cube, an art project where people write and paint their wishes onto a two-story wooden cube, then the cube is set on fire.<\/p>\n

\"Life
The Life Cube. They were going to call it “The Shirtless Artist Cube,” but that didn’t have the same ring to it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In case podcasts aren’t your thing, here are our list of Las Vegas wishes we’re going to add to the Life Cube before it goes up in flames.<\/p>\n

Our List Las Vegas Wishes for the Life Cube<\/h2>\n

We wish people would stop tilting their chairs to save slot machines while the go to the restroom.<\/p>\n

\"googie\" We wish casinos would give you the brand of liquor you order when you’re on the casino floor. Because they don’t.<\/p>\n

\"googie\" We wish Tony Gemignani (Owner of Pizza Rock) and Carla Pellegrino (Italian chef and hottie) would have a daughter so we could date her in 21-23 years.<\/p>\n

\"googie\" We wish people would stop using DTLV as an abbreviation for “downtown Las Vegas.”<\/p>\n

\"googie\" We wish casinos would have designated cigar areas, specifically, in Nebraska.<\/p>\n

\"googie\" We wish Las Vegas drivers would learn to, you know, drive. It’s called the passing lane, not the driving lane.<\/p>\n

\"googie\" We wish people wouldn’t sit at a full bar with video poker and not play video poker.<\/p>\n

\"googie\" We wish people would stop bringing their children to Las Vegas. Sorry, but that’s not what Las Vegas is for.<\/p>\n

\"googie\" We wish they’d figure out a way to avoid the turbulence when you fly into Las Vegas during the summer.<\/p>\n

\"googie\" Not every business needs music blaring from speakers, inside and out. We wish there were more quiet places. Like Downtown Grand.<\/p>\n

Also on the show, we’ve got a metric ass-ton of Las Vegas news, including the shocking arrest of Tropicana magician Jan Rouven for possessing child pornography<\/a>. Yikes.<\/p>\n

In this action-packed episode, we answer a listener question and give our top 10 places in Las Vegas for ice cream, gelato and frozen custard (five downtown, five on The Strip).<\/p>\n

\"Lappert's
When you’re in Las Vegas, they’re not “calories,” they’re party fuel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
