VitalVegas, aka Scott Roeben, is a thin-skinned, temperamental little dude who sometimes gets good scoops on Vegas-related gossip. I appreciate some of his work, but the guy has some serious personality flaws.

He has probably blocked more people on X than anyone in Vegas. I'm not exaggerating when I say that.

If you say the slightest thing to question or irritate him, he blocks you (sometimes after first making a snide comment).

He blocked me some years ago for something incredibly minor, but eventually unblocked me when I took his side involving a frivolous lawsuit filed against him by Sahara. (This also shows how dedicated I am to the truth -- that I took his side despite the fact that he had me blocked!)

That same year, I appeared with him on his girlfriend's podcast. We had been on cordial terms ever since.

Anyway, I was just blocked again, and for the dumbest reason ever.




Recently there have been a number of attempts to set the record for "Most Casinos Visited in a 24 Hour Period". The recent official record of 74 was set in 2017 by two dudes. I don't remember their names. In 2023, John and Kristina Mehaffey, a husband-and-wife Vegas journalism team, set a new record of 93 in 2023.

However, the Mehaffeys were not granted the Guinness record, because Guinness requires you to play live table games and get it signed off, and the Mehaffeys visited some casinos where the live games were not operating. By the way, I've met them both, and they're very nice and honest people.

Anyway, some dude then broke their record after that, which again, didn't make it into Guinness for the same reason.

This past week, two guys who had previously appeared on TV show "The Amazing Race" claim to have set the record for 115 casinos visited in 24 hours, and it was supposedly certified by Guinness. Note that this was heavily promoted by website casino.org, who claimed to have been along with these guys on their journey. VitalVegas is a freelancer who produces a lot of material for casino.org, and was part of the promotional effort.

I'll continue next post, and explain my problem with all of this.
