One of the reasons Las Vegas is so crowded these days is that around a quintillion people (give or take two or three) are producing Vegas podcasts telling you where to stay, where to eat, where to play, etc. The best of these by far — and the one whose success seems to have inspired most of the others — is a lady named Norma Geli who I've written about here before.
She's a former concierge at some Vegas hotels who knows the city well and also knows how to shoot, edit, produce and host weekly videos like the one below. She also does weekly live podcasts where she walks up and down The Strip showing you what's going on and chatting with folks she encounters. She's become enough of a Vegas celebrity that people are always stopping her to say hello. There are other folks doing similar live Vegas walks too.
Getting back to the weekly not-live ones, I find them fun to watch even though little of the info is of use to me. Norma spends an awful lot of them discussing where and what to drink of an alcoholic nature. I don't drink and, having food allergies and living in fear of exotic meals, I wouldn't dine at about 80% of the restaurants she visits. That makes it all that remarkable that I enjoy her videos. She really knows how to do this kind of thing well.
Below is her most recent, which is atypical of her output. It's about finding the best lobster and for once, she doesn't confine her search to Clark County in Nevada. Because she gets so many hits and often has commercials (like the one for deodorant in the middle of this video), she makes enough money off her productions to be able to spend more money on her productions. You'll see what I mean. Even if you don't have any interest in where to find the best mimosas in Vegas, it's great to see someone who has learned how to make professional-quality videos on the kind of equipment you may already own — and to use the Internet for fun and profit…
