Rick's History Tips: Vegas to the Bayou Edition | Hilariously Inaccurate Travel Facts

Join us, Holly and Rick Grayson, on our first trip of 2025 as we explore Las Vegas, New Orleans, and Addis, Louisiana—with a twist! In this episode of Rick's History Tips, Rick gives completely made-up history lessons about famous landmarks, casinos, and cultural spots.

🔹 Want to know who REALLY built the Luxor? (Hint: Wayne Newton was involved.)
🔹 Ever wondered about the origins of pinball? (It all started with Huns and eyeballs, obviously.)
🔹 Did you know the Las Vegas Strip dates back to 1812? (George Washington and Ben Franklin probably built it.)

And of course, Rick’s catchphrase for this hilarious journey:
❌ Don’t bother to Google it, because I already told you!

🎰 Places we "explore" in Vegas:

🔹Excalibur: Founded by King Arthur's cousin Rufus
🔹Luxor: A tribute to Carrot Top
🔹Flamingo: Home of the first accidental flamingo wings
🔹Caesars Palace: Built by Orange Julius himself
