We’re closing out 2025 Vegas-style with a wide-ranging, no-filters episode of the Vegas Day Drinkers Podcast, and if you love Las Vegas, pop culture, sports debates, and honest local takes, this one’s for you.

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.
