Vegas is on a hot streak and the boys are feeling it. Chris and Darren open Episode 37 by closing out their on-location recap from Shenanigans at McMullan's Irish Pub — the perfect post-St. Patrick's Day, pre-St. Baldrick's Day hang. Then it's all Vegas, all the time.

The NBA Board of Governors officially voted this week to explore expansion — and Las Vegas is one of two cities in the running, with the league targeting the 2028–29 season for a new franchise. Meanwhile, NFL owners are set to formally award Super Bowl 63 to Allegiant Stadium in 2029, a move insiders are already calling a done deal. And if that's not enough, Luke Combs just shattered the all-time attendance record at Allegiant — 70,921 fans on opening night, the largest indoor crowd in Nevada history.

The guys round out the sports conversation with March Madness bracket talk, then shift into something a little more philosophical: the analog comeback. Vinyl is outselling digital downloads. Gen Alpha is reaching for real books and card games. Is this cultural unplugging a genuine movement — or just a stick in the butt? Pour one up and weigh in.

Vegas Day Drinkers — celebrating bar culture as community, broadcasting from the Las Vegas Arts District. Sip. Socialize. Shine. 🥂

Our Motto: Sip Socialize Shine!

In Episode 36 of Vegas Day Drinkers, hosts Chris and Darren settle in at Shenanigans for a conversation steeped in Las Vegas history, Irish pub culture, hospitality, sport, community, and heart.

This week, the boys sit down with Brian McMullan, bar publican and the driving force behind McMullan’s Irish Pub, one of the most beloved Irish pubs in Las Vegas. Brian shares the story behind the formation of the pub in 2002, the vision behind its early design, and the journey that helped shape one of the valley’s true hospitality institutions.

The conversation winds through Brian’s time with the Irish Pub Company, his experience with J.C. Woolighan’s in Summerlin, and his relationships with Nine Fine Irishmen at New York-New York, before eventually striking out on his own path. Chris and Darren also dig into the origin of one of McMullan’s most talked-about menu items, the legendary Irish Nachos, along with the pub’s unique interpretation of the Irish Coffee.

But this episode goes beyond food and drink. Brian talks about his long-standing passion for bringing a more global sports culture to Las Vegas pub life, with consistent support for European soccer, rugby, Aussie rules football, and other nontraditional sporting events rarely given center stage in American bar culture. The guys also discuss McMullan’s role in supporting local Vegas teams through the years and how the pub has become a true gathering place for fans from every walk of life.

The episode closes on what may be Brian’s most meaningful passion project: St. Baldrick’s. Chris, Darren, and Brian reflect on McMullan’s Irish Pub’s deep involvement in raising money and awareness for children’s cancer research, and how the pub has become a genuine cornerstone of the Las Vegas community through that mission.

This is more than a pub story. It is a story about legacy, risk, culture, hospitality, and giving back.

Episode 35 of Vegas Day Drinkers dives into a Las Vegas that still knows how to put on a show, but also feels like it’s in one of those rare moments where the city is being forced to look in the mirror. Chris and Darren break down what’s happening around town right now, from softer tourism numbers and the city’s renewed push for value, to locals suddenly being courted again with real discounts, food and drink specials, and the kind of perks that remind you Vegas may finally be trying to win back some goodwill. LVCVA says Las Vegas welcomed 38.5 million visitors in 2025, down 7.5% from 2024, and that drop is part of the backdrop for a bigger conversation about whether the city has gotten too expensive for its own good. 

 This episode gets into that tension in a very Vegas Day Drinkers way: is Vegas correcting itself, or just dressing up a bigger problem with coupons and promos? Chris and Darren talk about Caesars leaning into 25% off food and drinks for locals, the way town suddenly seems interested in Nevada residents again, and what that says about the current mood on the Strip. It is the kind of conversation locals have all the time at the bar: when the tourists are flowing, locals feel ignored, but when visitation softens, everybody remembers we live here. 

 They also hit the fun stuff that makes Vegas still feel like Vegas. There is talk about the latest buzz around food and drink, including newer spots getting attention like Hearthstone’s return at Red Rock, plus Viking Mike’s Alpine Yurt Bar and White Whale adding to the sense that off-Strip Vegas and downtown continue to carve out some of the most interesting energy in the city. That opens the door for the classic Vegas Day Drinkers debate: where would you rather spend your time and money right now, the polished spectacle of the Strip or the more personal charm of neighborhood and downtown spots? 

 With March rolling through town, Episode 35 also taps into the sports-and-bar crossover that Vegas does so well. The Mountain West Basketball Championships are in Las Vegas at Thomas & Mack from March 7 to March 14, which means the city is full of fans, alumni, bettors, and roving day drinkers all looking for somewhere to watch a game, grab a bite, and argue about brackets over a beer. It is one of those weeks where Vegas quietly becomes a giant sports bar with hotel towers. 

And because this is Vegas in mid-March, the guys also lean into the pub culture side of the calendar, the seasonal madness in the air, and the little things that locals notice before anyone else does. The result is a conversation that mixes real city insight with humor, bar-top perspective, and the kind of lived-in Vegas commentary you only get from people who actually spend time in the places tourists usually miss.

If you love Las Vegas, bars, pub culture, local commentary, and honest talk about what this city is getting right and what it may need to fix, Episode 35 is for you.

Vegas Day Drinkers Club – Episode 34: "The State of Benjamin"

Last week it was the State of the Union. This week, Chris and Darren deliver the State of Benjamin — a full rundown of everything happening in Las Vegas and beyond, served ice cold with a craft beer in hand. Named in honor of co-host Darren Benjamin, this episode is packed with big news, local nostalgia, and the kind of conversation you can only have when you're day drinking with your new friends and old friends.

The Sphere is officially the hottest venue on the planet. Chris and Darren break down the just-announced Mayweather vs. Pacquiao II rematch on September 19th — the first professional boxing match ever held at the Sphere, streaming free on Netflix — and the jaw-dropping news that Metallica is bringing eight — EIGHT — shows to the Sphere in October. Las Vegas is the center of the universe right now, and we're here for all of it.

On the bigger picture front, we dig into the massive new lithium mine opening at Thacker Pass in Esmeralda County, Nevada — potentially a game-changer in the global competition for lithium dominance against Australia, Argentina, and China. This one hits close to home and has implications for the entire country.

Closer to the Strip, we pour one out for Champagne Cafe on Maryland Parkway. Opened in 1966 and a cornerstone of what Chris calls quintessential Vegas kitsch, its closing marks the end of an era. We also explore Boulder City's thriving bar scene — featured on the cover of last week's LV Weekly — and make the case for why it's the perfect half-day getaway for serious day drinkers.

Oh, and did we mention? Team USA swept the gold in BOTH men's AND women's hockey at the 2026 Milan Winter Olympics. We celebrate accordingly.

All of this sipped alongside a cold one from Enegren Brewing out of Baldwin Park, California. Cheers.

Vegas Day Drinkers is BACK, baby! 🎉 We're kicking off 2026 with a Valentine's Day recording session and a freestyle episode that covers everything you didn't know you needed to hear about Las Vegas right now.

Your favorite bar industry pros, Chris and Darren crack open a fantastic hefeweizen from Bootlegger Brewing out of Southern California and jump headfirst  into the topics everyone in Vegas is actually talking about. We break down the Super Bowl — the game, the commercials, and all the the utter chaos that  comes with hosting the biggest sporting event on the planet in America's playground. Then we get serious about the  Las Vegas market and why it feels more volatile than a craps table on a Saturday night.

We also tackle the big question: how does the rest of the country really see Las Vegas in 2026? Spoiler — the perception gap is widening, and with private equity money flooding the Strip, guests are starting to feel every resort fee, parking charge, and convenience surcharge in their wallets. Are the major hotels and casinos nickeling and diming their way out of loyalty? We've got opinions — and we're not holding back.

Whether you're a Vegas local, a frequent visitor, or just obsessed with everything Sin City, this is the episode you've been waiting for.

🍺 Pour one up and hit play. Sip Socialize Shine!

Chris and Darren break down Las Vegas tourism numbers for 2025 and what they really say about the city heading into 2026. Are visitors spending differently? Are trends shifting? And what does it mean for locals, hospitality workers, and anyone planning their next Vegas trip?

From there, we lean into some year-end fun with our Top Christmas Movies of all time, followed by a deep dive into the legendary films of Rob Reiner. Whether you’re Team Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, or A Few Good Men, we unpack why his films still hold up decades later.

We also celebrate 30 years of the Fremont Street Experience, reflecting on how it helped reshape downtown Las Vegas and why Fremont remains one of the most unique nightlife districts anywhere in the world. Neon, nostalgia, people-watching, and controlled chaos—this one hits close to home.

On the sports front, we recap Vegas sports at the end of 2025, including updates and opinions on the Vegas Golden Knights, the Las Vegas Aces, the Las Vegas Raiders, and ongoing NBA rumors that could once again shake up the local sports landscape.

The conversation continues with Vegas trends that seriously need to go away, plus real talk about restaurants closing and opening around town, including mentions of HUDL Brewing Company and Butcher and Thief. The hospitality scene never sleeps, and neither do our opinions.

We wrap things up with airport talk, travel observations, and a forward-looking conversation about what 2026 might bring for Las Vegas, the service industry, tourism, entertainment, and locals who call this city home.

Whether you’re a Vegas local, a frequent visitor, or just love the culture of Las Vegas, this final episode of 2025 delivers laughs, insight, and plenty of “only in Vegas” moments.

This week, the city is buzzing with sports action: the Aces push through the playoffs, the Golden Knights are midway through preseason, and the Raiders get set to host Chicago at home. The boys also raise a glass to Oktoberfest, sharing where the steins are clinking across town.

August visitation numbers are in, and while some headlines ask if Vegas is losing its shine, Chris and Darren point to the positive signs keeping the city alive and kicking.

🎙️ Episode 30 – Where Do We Go From Here

In this episode, Chris and Darren dive deep into the latest happenings shaping Las Vegas and ask the big question: Where does the city go from here?

From the Strip to the suburbs, they explore whether Sin City is losing its edge as tourists look elsewhere for value-driven getaways. Is Las Vegas truly at risk, or is it just another cycle of change? The guys debate whether the LVCVA (Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority) is doing enough to lure back both the domestic and international crowd—or if ignoring major gripes like resort fees and parking charges is costing Vegas its reputation.

On the sports front, Raiders football is back and the Aces are chasing another playoff run, while shifting economics raise questions about the city’s future. With interest rates cut this week, will we see a surge in the local real estate market?

The conversation also takes a sobering turn as they discuss the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk, a tragedy that reverberated far beyond Vegas. To lighten things up, Chris and Darren also touch on the surprising Labubu toy craze that has collectors buzzing.
