It was Sunday night and I was relaxing on the couch watching the last football game of the day – Philadelphia Eagles at Atlanta Falcons. Between the action in the game I saw a tweet from Vegas Tripping’s own Misnoper about a new show about a new Travel Channel show about Las Vegas.
“Vegas Insiders“ is one of the first new shows about Las Vegas on the Travel Channel in about 5 years, with most of their programming from about 10 years ago so I was looking forward to it. The show is part of Travel Channel’s “Ultimate Travel” series this month. The show itself looks like an infomercial for a VIP Hosting company called Vegas Knights. I don’t know if that was specifically bad, but the hosts weren’t very entertaining. If the show didn’t have so much Vegas eye candy it would have been turned off right away, but it was Vegas so it stayed on TV. Also, it was late by the time I got around to the show so it helped put me to sleep.
Much like with the other Travel Channel programming “Vegas Insiders” is the kind of show I’d watch if there was nothing else on and I didn’t want to move from the couch, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to see it. That being said, it’s a show based on Vegas with shots of Tropicana, Cosmopolitan, Caesars Palace and more so I will look at this again.

they should just update their old shows. It would be easy. Take every mention of comps and cut them from the show. Of course, you’d be left with a 5 minute show.
Believe it or not, talk of comps get high traffic online and I imagine those same people watch those shows.
