About Vegas Bright

We’re Back.

It was the very late night of Saturday, August 1st of 2015 when I sat at my computer thinking about how my favorite Vegas site, Vegas Chatter, cashed out for the last time the day before. My favorite site on the computer screen before me, now frozen in time and never to be updated again. No more unique perspectives, inside words, and fresh reviews I had not only grown accustomed to but also checked each day (multiple times). Perhaps, like you, I knew there needed to be another Vegas Chatter, pronto!

Hi, I’m Michael Movestro, I’m the founder of Vegas Bright.

I first visited Las Vegas many years ago when a friend funded my first trip with bonus points. I loved Las Vegas ever since. Las Vegas is my “happy place.” I don’t live there, but I frequently visit with only a one-hour flight from home (lucky me, I guess). My favorite thing to do in Vegas is to enjoy a nice cold gelato on a hot evening while watching the Bellagio fountains. I like gelato, and burgers a lot.

Enough about me, let’s talk about VegasBright.

Vegas Bright is like Vegas Chatter 2.0

VegasBright (old logo above) was started as a tribute to VegasChatter; heavily inspired by the VC tagline “so bright you can see it from space.”

Since our inception, we brought you a metric shit-ton of news and reviews on entertainment, construction, fine dining, food-n-drink, gambling, hotels, nightlife, travel tips, and more. We also gave you lots of sh*t to catch up on. It was fun, but I burnt out. It was way more work than I imagined, the site went on hiatus in 2018, but we’re back here in 2022 with a new vision.

Vegas Bright Newscast – Vegas News for Vegas Visitors (aka VBN). VBN is two-fold, a youtube channel and a website. The website here will feature episodes of Vegas Bright Newscast and also feature occasional articles for you’re reading enjoyment. The Youtube channel will have episodes of Vegas Bright Newscast.

  1. Nice site! So glad I found it. Like a lot of others, I was bummed when VC turned out the lights and left the building.

  2. Regular “viewer” for Vegas Chatter. Was sad to see it go – glad to see this site starting up. Have high hopes this can be a fun entertaining site.

  3. I read Vegas chatter religiously and was beyond gutted when it shut down! I’m just doing some research on downtown Vegas for an upcoming trip and thought I’d check out the site. I knew it wouldn’t be up to date but hey, surely they wouldn’t just press destruct on all that info? That’s when I came across this site! Keep up the good work, I’ll be sure to pop by often to satisfy my Vegas cravings!

  4. Found you guys today by accident and I am so glad to see that you are here!! I miss VC so much, but it looks like you may be able to fill the void. Plus, now my workdays will go by much more quickly. ;<)

  5. Delighted that this is up and running, VegasChatter was brilliant and if this is even half as good then it’ll be one of my top sites to visit.

  6. Just read about this site on vital vegas cant believe iv missed it looking forward to the posts glad to see someone has filled the VC void

  7. so glad to find this site. First we lost cheapovegas. Then we lost Vegaschatter. I’ve been lost in my constant vegas daydreams.

  8. I am so HAPPY to find this website. It is great to see the writers from vegas chatter together again. I will check back every day for updates.

  9. Awesome. I love Las Vegas and seeing the VegasChatter site go down made me miss Vegas even more when I am not there. I will be frequenting this site more especially since it is quite similar to VegasChatter. Easy to navigate and read. :)

  10. Keep up the great work, I will be bringing more visitors to your site. Great content, look forward to reading this site daily.

  11. I was a frequent lurker on VC.
    I’m very glad that I stumbled onto this site.
    Thanks for starting Vegas Bright and good luck.

  12. Hello! I just want to say thanks for this wonderful site! I just found it a few days ago, and it fills the black hole I got after Vegaschatter was closed down! – Greetings from the other side of the world (Norway) – Keep up the good job, and bring us more Vegas news! <3 :)

  13. Honestly, I am ready to write this site off. Nothing new in over a month. Wtf. I heard there was going to be a shutdown but that was temporary. I guess I will go to vital vegas.

    1. Hi Greg,

      Sounds like a great idea, I promote Scott on my podcast (Vegas Untz) he’s a great guy. Saul’s new career and renovating his new house in Vegas seems to be taking quite some time, so it might be best to go to Vital Vegas, and I’d be surprised if it took you this long to do so. To be honest, I try to visit as many different Vegas sites as I can. There’s some great forums out there too, and a new site called Vegas Changes. Blonde4ever has a blog called Blonde4ever Does Vegas. You should check them out!

      Thanks,
      Michael Movestro

  14. Hey Michael! I know the feeling, it’s a labour of love. Still “cranking away” at TravelZork… especially with Vegas News every Sunday….. Hope all is going well in your world!
