The Talk About Las Vegas Podcast | a podcast by Ira Sternberg

This week, Ira spoke with Dana Manacher, CEO of Shrtlst, a groundbreaking platform that curates city exploration for travelers by connecting users with locals who know the scene. In this episode of “Talk About Las Vegas With Ira,” Dana talks about growing up in the hospitality industry; how her family started the Guestbook, a platform aimed at enhancing guest experiences at boutique hotels; why she decided to create Shrtlst; why the website uses an intense vetting process for its local experts; how it curates the best of the best (which is not necessarily just luxury experiences or venues); how it’s a resource for locals as well; personalizing the features; her plans to go international by the end of the year; the importance of the “vibe”; her hands-on approach; her roots in Las Vegas (even though her family is from Germany); her short-term and long-term goals, including becoming the global provider for travel and experiences.
