A Super Bowl in 'new Vegas'; plus, the inverted purity of the Stanley Cup

This weekend, Vegas hit the jackpot. For the first time ever, Sin
City will host the Super Bowl; and the halftime headliner is the
current Vegas residency darling - Usher. But, NPR Senior Editor
Bilal Qureshi says this royal flush was years in the making. Bilal
joins host Brittany Luse to share his experience covering the
city's journey from 'Old Vegas' to 'New Vegas,' as new hotels,
concert venues, and artist residencies bring Vegas to a new market
- millennials.

Then, Brittany turns her sights to the Stanley Cup. No, not the
hockey championship but the colorful tumblers taking the internet
by storm. The frenzy for a new collectible is never surprising, but
the very thing that goes inside it - water - has The Wellness Trap
author Christy Harrison wondering if this is just another extension
of diet and wellness culture gone sideways.
