A major announcement came out of L.A.’s backyard this week: the resort that ushered in the Modern Era of Las Vegas will be shutting its doors forever.

The impact that the Mirage had on Las Vegas was like no hotel since the Flamingo opened in 1946 and kicked off The Strip, and it literally changed Vegas as a town, a community, and is single-handedly responsible for turning into a world-class metropolis. Here’s the story of the impact of the Mirage on the city that 4.8 million people from Los Angeles visit each year. 

Ever wondered about life in the I AM Studios? And what actually goes into creating over 1,000 episodes of L.A. in a Minute and In a Minute w/ Evan Lovett? I take you behind the scenes for a day - and a week - in the life of documenting Los Angeles history & culture. From the drops for KNX to full episodes for social to recording in a closet (!), I am giving you the real day-to-day on creating my show. You know how they say if you love what you do you’ll never work a day in your life? Well, this is truly a labor of love.

Perhaps most importantly, stick around for the Love Story of my lifetime (34:00)
