vvn-t — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 05:04:13 +0000

Scott and Melissa share a potpourri of information on this episode of Living In Las Vegas.

Then everyone at VVN gets a new bras! Well, more like Scott pitches Melissa on new lingerie (the live chat voted yes), and finally, they reveal a new segment called Favorite 5. Show Notes:

Living in Las Vegas #181: Cage Match – Celine Dion vs Jersey Boys

vvn-t — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 04:42:15 +0000

Baby it’s f#%king freezing outside!

Scott and Melissa prove it’s a frozen tundra outside with icebergs in their pool, share where not to get a flu shot (this is going to sting a bit), and Scott explains how sports betting makes him sweat. Then, with the help of the live chat (which included a guy watching the show from London. . . while in his bathtub), they compare a performance by Celine Dion to the cast of characters in The Jersey Boys, where they ask the question, Is it enough to be front and center, or does it require more for a performer to make a connection? (Take the over folks!) Show notes:

Living in Las Vegas in back!

Scott and Melissa start the New Year by recapping their New Year’s Eve festivities on The Strip. After we reveal the best place ever to park on New Year’s Eve, we pull the curtain back and see how the high rollers live when they come to Vegas. We start by sipping (and spilling) some wine that we found not so fine, nibble at the only 3-Star Michelin restaurant in town, and count our winnings in a unique sky-high suite! (ALERT: You’ll see the largest “winning stack” you’ll likely have ever seen…don’t miss it!) Show notes:

It’s not often you hear about a guy dating the sister of a Monkee, another guy wearing a skirt, a girl wearing a pimp hat and another girl rocking a Dracula hairdo.

That is, unless you’re watching the first-ever Living in Las Vegas/Pub Crawl combo episode!

Join David, Alicia, Scott, and Melissa as they share a great old-school restaurant perfect for a special romantic dinner and the stories of how each of them met the love of their lives. Show notes:

Living in Las Vegas #126: RAW:Vegas; What First Friday Should Be

VVN — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 15:18:40 +0000

When we first moved to Las Vegas, we were really excited about First Friday, the once-a-month art gathering in downtown Las Vegas. But after a few visits, it felt less about art and more about miserable-looking 20-somethings in skinny jeans and black eye-shadow. In this episode of Living in Las Vegas, we find an art event that First Friday should aspire to: RAW:Vegas. (We also introduce a brand new segment to the show! How cool is that?!?!) Show notes:

Because Las Vegas is close to so many other cool places, for this episode of Living in Las Vegas, we thought we’d take a bit of a road trip over the Labor Day weekend. We visited Flagstaff, saw Huey Lewis and the News, and spent some time in Sedona. On the way home, we thought we’d stop by the Grand Canyon. That’s when the trouble started. Show notes:

After talking about the upcoming meetup, car accidents on 215, one of the best comedy shows we’ve ever seen, and the fact that MGM has to deal with two disasters on their hands (Kardashians and the Harmon Tower), we consider whether or not we did the right thing by having Scott’s mom finally retire in Las Vegas.

Living in Las Vegas #116v2: Drinks the Size of Your Torso

VVN — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 15:29:05 +0000

This should have been episode #117, but an evil force (Windows XP) and Scott’s careless use of the delete key killed last week’s episode. Which was really a fun show. Ask the live chat folks.

Anywho, today’s Living in Las Vegas features a special twist with our hosts, proves Nevada really is the wild west, answers several email questions, and shares an evening that featured great dancing and drinks as large as some people’s torso. Show notes:

When we saw Absinthe, like most everybody else, we thought it was funny, very entertaining and completely original. In this episode of the Living in Las Vegas Podcast, we may have not been completely correct. (Oh, and we try our hand at golf. It’s not pretty.) Show notes:

Living in Las Vegas #105: People ARE Moving to Las Vegas!

VVN — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 07:30:21 +0000

When we first launched the show, our tagline was, “With 5,000 people moving here each month, somebody had to spill the beans.”

That was in 2006.

Until recently, we’ve seen a net loss in residents here in Clark County. But in this episode of the Living in Las Vegas Podcast, we hear from two viewers who are making the move to Las Vegas. YES! Show notes:

Living in Las Vegas #104: Did We Find the Best Show in Vegas?

VVN — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 14:42:23 +0000

Once you’ve lived in Las Vegas long enough, you begin to notice that many of the shows on the Strip are similar. Same gags. Same stunts. Same music. But in this episode of the Living in Las Vegas Podcast, we’ve come across a show that is uniquely funny, a little dirty, full of “how are they doing that” moments, and should be required viewing for all producers in the city.

VVN — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 16:00:49 +0000

The live show got a bit of a late start because Melissa had to have a “conversation” with a pharmacist before getting to the studio.

Yikes.

After that bit of show and tell, in this episode of the Living in Las Vegas Podcast we head out to Lake Las Vegas for the first time in what seems like years. Then, we discover a GREAT comedy club that’s about to celebrate its one year anniversary.
