Ep. 56: Party Cities w/ Thot Topics [EXTENDED TEASER]

Full episode available on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SilentGeneration    This week the boys are joined by Nick and Cris from the Thot Topics podcast to talk about “party cities,” cities whose economies cater to debaucherous tourists. They begin by surveying the following party cities and the types of partiers they attract: Las Vegas, New Orleans, Cancun, Berlin, and Miami. They then detail some of the negative effects of overtourism on locals before sharing where each of them would go if they had the opportunity to party anywhere on Earth. Amongst other things they discuss how the carpeted areas of casinos in Las Vegas designate which areas are adults-only, how Bourbon Street in New Orleans was almost destroyed to build the Vieux Carré Riverfront Expressway, how resorts in Cancun import food from the United States so as not to upset American tourists’ stomachs, and how the Nacht Club Berlin Instagram account has documented Berlin’s decline as a cultural hub.
