The Black Country Vlogger Podcast: Recent Episodes
Black Country Vlogger
A few years back I started vlogging my trips to Vegas. Due to recent circumstances travel has been limited but my love of travelling and Las Vegas is just as strong so I decided to start a blog.
This podcast is a continuation of this and I hope to share more insights into my love of travelling, Vegas and much more.
During our recent trip to Vegas we went to the Golden Tiki bar and thanks to good friend Cathy Grant (SpookyPeg on Youtube) we were able to have ourselves a booth and a lovely chat with the manager Nick Brink who told us all about the haunted goings on the the Golden Tiki bar and around Vegas.
This was a perfect run up to Halloween as the things Nick said put shivers down our spines.
This podcast will also be uploaded to YouTube to coincide with the current posting of the vlogs from this trip
This is it folks, Day 6 and Day 7 of the trip. We go back to the Strip, have a Medievil Buffet, a Brazilian (not one of those ones!) and chill at a=our 2nd home - Four Queens.
Thanks to everyone who have been listening to this series of Podcasts.
Its Part 4 and Day 5 but Day 2 on the Strip. Confused? Try catching a Deuce from Fremont.
This day we go to Hells Kitchen, Golden Tiki and we try Chick-fil-a. I also try a drink I quickly regret.
Day 3 and we're finally on the Strip. A buffet at Luxor, Pinball Hall of Fame and Stage Door are just a few highlights of very busy day.
I'm still talking about the trip and today I chat about Downtown Grand, Circa, Main Street Station and Neonopolis amongst other things that happened on Day 3.
I thought I'd do a few Podcasts to accompany my recent vlog series of our recent trip to Vegas. I'm guessing it'll be a 3 part series.
Hope you all enjoy.
Today I talk about the very brief history of the Lucky Dragon Casino - Las Vegas that lasted less than 2 years before closing down and filing for bankruptcy.
Sorry for the late upload.
This episode I chat randomly about Superbowl and our up and coming trip to Vegas in March.
Hope you enjoy
Unlucky for some, it's Episode 13 and it's a return to Podcasts. This episode is a quick catch up and some Vegas news plus a bit of an announcement 😃
Christmas Special Episode where I talk generally about my plans for Christmas, things people can do in Vegas at Christmas and I also talk about the importance of the effect an occasion like Christmas can have on the mental health and wellbeing of people.
Christmas is a great time for friends and family but this has been yet another challenging year so please all take care, Marry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Stay till the end of the podcast for a Black Country Christmas Song.
To be honest I've chosen both but I've been to neither as lockdown prevented us from from going to Vegas but I thought I'd share what with you all what I'd learnt and researched about the places.
Time to talk about the Downtown Container Park. We love visiting here for a bite to et and to just chill. There's quite a lot of things here to see and do and I go into a bit of detail about what you can find there and my opinion on the place.
Thanks to everyone who has been listening to these Podcast episodes.
Time for a bonus episode - a movie review of the new Disney film Home Sweet Home Alone.
It may be a Xmas episode but there's no Christmas cheer in this honestly brutal review.
Who doesn't like a good pun and who doesn't like a good buffet?
In this episode I talk generally about Buffets, their current situation in Vegas and my experiences of Vegas buffets.
Part 2 of the 2 part Downtown series. This time I chat about what we did Downtown and what we didn't do but really wanted to. Hopefully it will also highlight to you all what can be found around Downtown Vegas and the Arts District.
It's 2019 - our last trip for now to Vegas as the world changes beyond recognition
This longer episode will be in two parts - this part is about our last trip to Vegas, part 2 will be concentrating on the wonders of Downtown Vegas.
In a change to our normal series I wanted to share my love of Halloween and Halloween in the USA in particular.
The vlogs of 2018 were done and posted and I started getting subscribers so Jane suggested I needed to promote myself more. This episode I talk about our trip to the Victoria Gate Casino in Leeds where we met so many amazing people and how it positively impacted on my life.
I also talk about my plans in the run up to Halloween as its normally then we'd be going to Vegas.
It's 2018 and it's been a pretty bad year but we have Vegas to cheer us up and what happens this year is the catalyst for my decision to Vlog and create a YouTube channel.

Millenium Fandom Bar : Fandom Bar / Nerd Bar / Geek Bar | Las Vegas, Nevada | Millennium Fandom Bar
I also talk briefly about Mental Health and so here are a few helpful sites :
Mind : Home | Mind, the mental health charity - help for mental health problems
Mental Health America : https://www.mhanational.org/
Continuing with tales of our trips to Vegas, this time it's 2017 and we're staying at the Four Queens and once again my parents are with us.
How will we find it actually staying Downtown instead if just visiting? Will it be too much for us or will we really enjoy it?
This is the story of our second trip where we took my parents as they had previously been to Vegas but didn't really have a great experience. This also expands on our growing love for the place.

Bearing in mind I wrote this review beforehand I made quite a few mistakes. Thought I'd upload them so you can have a chuckle at my ineptitude. There are no mistakes, only lessons....honest.
As a thank you to everyone who has listened to my first proper episode, subscribed, shared and promoted my Podcast I thought I'd do a quick review of Zack Snyder's Army Of The Dead. The movie has been on Netflix for a while now so I thought best get this episode out ASAP as the new spin off movie is due out soon.
Welcome to Episode 1 : Why Would Anyone Want To Go To Vegas ?
This episode we address my preconceptions of Vegas by looking at my 1st trip to Vegas in October 2015 and how my love of Vegas grew from there after initially really not caring about the place at all.
This is going to part of a series of trip reports and I hope you will follow me on this journey.
Hi everyone, this episode is just me finding my feet and letting you know who I am and what to expect from this podcast channel.

Just a few seconds of audio trying out the audio recording and Podcast software. The mistakes aren't intentional...they never are.
