Fever's Sophie Cunningham, podcast co-host sour on Las Vegas amid concerns of city's downturn

Circa Casino & Resort CEO Derek Stevens tells Fox News Digital that reports claiming tourism is falling in Las Vegas are "a bit exaggerated" — and shared his prediction for Sin City in the next six months.

Indiana Fever star Sophie Cunningham and her podcast co-host West Wilson dished about whether they liked Las Vegas amid growing concern that the city has lost its luster.

Cunningham and Wilson dove into a conversation after touching on reigning WNBA MVP A’ja Wilson, of the Las Vegas Aces. Cunningham asked her co-host whether he was a fan of Vegas. He said he wasn’t and revealed he lived there for a year when he was with Bleacher Report.

"I don’t like Vegas," Cunningham said on the "Show Me Something" podcast. "When people are like, ‘Oh, Vegas!’ I’m like, ah s---."

Wilson suggested he was creeped out with some of the visitors.

"I would leave work at like 10 p.m. (from Caesars Palace) and you know how you kind of just clock people when you’re leaving, and you’re by yourself and listening to music? I’d come back in the morning, like 9 a.m., same people, same chairs … It’s like a sad city," he said.

Cunningham has been in the WNBA for a few years, and her travels, especially when she was with the Phoenix Mercury, brought her to Las Vegas to play the Aces several times.

"Every time that I’m there, there’s just that smell Vegas has, and I have to wash everything. It’s just like that smell," she said.
