The star of Indiana Fever Sophie Cunningham and her co-host of Podcast West Wilson asked if they loved Las Vegas in the middle of the growing concern that the city has lost its brilliance.
Cunningham and Wilson plunged into a conversation after approaching the MVP Wnba A’ja Wilson, Las Vegas aces. Cunningham asked him if he was a fan of Vegas. He said he was not and revealed that he lived there for a year when he was with Bleacher Report.

“I don’t like Vegas,” said Cunningham on the Podcast “Show Me Something”. “When people say to themselves:” Oh, Vegas! “I’m like, ah s —.”
Wilson suggested that he was frightened by some visitors.
“I would leave the work at 10 pm (from Caesars Palace) and you know how you are somehow some people when you leave, and you are alone and you listen to music? I would come back in the morning, like 9 am, the same people, the same chairs … It’s like a sad city,” he said.
Cunningham has been in the WNBA for a few years, and its travels, especially when it was with the Phoenix Mercury, brought it to Las Vegas to play Aces on several occasions.
“Each time I am there, there is just that smell of vegas, and I have to wash everything. It’s just like that smell,” she said.

Cunningham added that the people she was talking about appreciated the city’s suburbs more than what is happening on the strip of Las Vegas. “Everyone who lives in Vegas, like out of the strip and in the suburbs, everyone says it’s great. But I have never experienced it, so I’m like huh. But everyone loves it,” she said.
The story on Las Vegas in recent weeks has been that the city is “dead” for various reasons – the economy, prices and simply without interest.
However, the CEO of Circa, Derek Stevens, expressed its optimism to PK Press Club Digital earlier this week that things will turn over for the city in the next six months.

“I think that in six months, I think that tourism from Vegas and our economy overall will be in a much better place,” he said.
