Surgeon General’s Warning: This episode of The Neon Gutter is a gift to you. And keeping it in the gutter, it’s cheap and may be hazardous to your ears. So, listeners be forewarned that you are entering the Stupak Community Center where the Neon Gutter Crew played “Stupak: the Game,” designed by Bob Stupak, whom you may have heard about in Episodes 1 and 2.

This is freewheeling, noisy, and as exciting as listening to a bunch of guys playing a terrible board game sounds. You have been warned.

The Neon Gutter crew takes a live stroll down Fremont Street, from the headwaters of the Plaza Hotel at Main Street past Binion’s, the Golden Nugget and all the way East, past the D, the El Cortez and on to the husk of the Western. Along the way, they reminisce of what used to be and used to happen along the fabled street, and they encounter surprise guests, panhandling locals, and the noise pollution that clutters downtown Las Vegas nowadays.

Burt grills Matt, Dan, and their guest Phil on the crummiest, dirtiest, smelliest, and most fun casinos they ever wandered into or escaped from. A philosophical discussion breaks out about what makes a casino a shithole, the difference between good and bad shitholes, and why the dumps can be more fun. Stick around and learn where you can go today to have your clothes indelibly marked with stench of tobacco, bodo odor, and failure.
