    SPECIAL: Steve On KNPR On Eureka, NV

    The economy might seem mired in recession in Southern Nevada but elsewhere the sick economy is creating a boom - the gold-mining counties have little or no unemployment, construction work for those who want it and the good times are rolling. This counter-cyclical boom is the other side of the bubble that burst in 2008. Steve Friess has been up in Eureka County to experience first hand what is happening with the healthiest part of our state economy.

    FINALLY! BLOOPERPALOOZA!

    FINAL TRIVIA: What was the first major hotel-casino to open after Steve arrived in Vegas on 9/9/96 to begin working at the Review-Journal? If you know it, email us at TheStripPodcast@aol.com or call 702-997-3300 by 9/3/11. if you get it right, we send you something. Period. Everything must go. Twitter: @TheStripPodcast Blog: VegasHappensHere.Com Voicemail: 702-997-3300 Open & Banter: Start to 36ish Intro/End-Show Bloopers :  36:45-44ish Wordplay Bloopers: 44:30ish-50ish Banter/Midshow Bloopers: 50:50-1:07ish Trivia/Poll/Feedback: 1:07ish-1:20ish Interview-related Bloopers: 1:20:35-1:31ish Cursing Bloopers: 1:31:20-1:35ish Miles' Voices Bloopers: 1:35:30-1:40ish TSTToTW: 1:40ish-end Something Extra: 1:53-end So we did a bloopers show on Aug 14. And the recording was all eff'd up. Steve screwed up a setting. Duh. Which meant we had to do it again. Which we did, bringing special guest Amy back in with another pizza. But this time, no chat room. Just the three of us. This is this year's bloopers show, and it's great. But it's also new, at least the non-bloopery parts, as compared to what the chat people heard. Which is kinda fun for them. Also, there's an Easter Egg at the end. In Banter, we mulled our encounter with Mrs. Wynn in Sun Valley, talked about the de-Elvising at Aria and the likely implosion of The Harmon, we explained our strategy for packing and moving and much more. Near the end, we also discuss Steve's bingo adventure.
