    The End of an Era in L.A.’s Backyard

    The End of an Era in L.A.’s Backyard

    A major announcement came out of L.A.’s backyard this week: the resort that ushered in the Modern Era of Las Vegas will be shutting its doors forever.

    The impact that the Mirage had on Las Vegas was like no hotel since the Flamingo opened in 1946 and kicked off The Strip, and it literally changed Vegas as a town, a community, and is single-handedly responsible for turning into a world-class metropolis. Here’s the story of the impact of the Mirage on the city that 4.8 million people from Los Angeles visit each year.

Facts

I’ve listened to a few episodes now, and I’m hooked. Throw on “L.A. In A Minute” while you’re driving around this fair city to really put yourself in the mood. Keep up the great work, Evan!

I Love LA…

I Love LA isn’t just a title of a great Randy Newman song, but really it’s the theme of this most interesting podcast — it’s a podcast of odd but interesting facts, humor, history, folklore, and more about the City of Angels which Evan (the host clearly loves). I highly recommend listening, not just from the current episode, but from the very beginning.

Sorry dude the show is getting repetitive.

Unfollowed the show, it seems you have gotten into this rut. I think I have heard about the Venice Canals and the Thai temple just one too many times.
