Let’s look back at the most popular City Cast Las Vegas podcast episodes of 2025. I didn’t include Friday news roundups or the monthly guides (although for some reason, our listeners really needed stuff to do in May). With that in mind, can you guess which episode was number one? 👀
🔟 Is Vegas Getting Less Naked?
We used to love nudity in Las Vegas. What happened?
9️⃣ Why Everyone’s Mad at NV Energy Right Now
We break down a complicated rate hike in a way that’s not so complicated.
8️⃣ The Best Late-Night Eats in Las Vegas
This aired during our themed Night Week, which also included fun stuff like animals who rule Vegas after dark and our struggling reputation as a 24-hour town.
7️⃣ Is Vegas Really Dead?
The most heated debate topic of 2025.
6️⃣ How to Have the Most Vegas Day Ever
We’re still trying to make 702 Day a thing, so we aired this on July 2.

2️⃣ Exclusive: The Tesla Tunnel Expansion, Investigated
City Cast and ProPublica teamed up for an investigative piece on how Elon Musk’s Boring Company is tunneling beneath Las Vegas with little oversight. This discussion between co-authors Dayvid Figler and Daniel Rothberg breaks down allegations, fines, and questions on accountability, which foreshadowed our follow-up piece later in the year, revealing that Nevada regulators issued nearly 800 environmental violations against the Vegas Loop project.
1️⃣ All the Celebrities You Didn't Know Live In Vegas
You love celebrity dirt more than protecting the environment, which is probably the most “Vegas” thing ever.
