Episode Details

We love to gripe about getting “scammed” by a bad show that costs way too much, but what’s the difference between a bad deal and an honest-to-goodness scam? And how are people actually getting scammed in Las Vegas? Today, our co-host Sarah Lohman sits down with Celestia Ward, a card-carrying skeptic and co-host of Squaring the Strange, a podcast about critical thinking and evidence-based analysis. They talk about the biggest scams in Las Vegas, how you can avoid them, and why Las Vegans in particular should arm themselves with a healthy sense of skepticism.
