#165: Adoptions, Sno-tinis, and Butt Gaskets?

Scott and Melissa laugh until they cry this week on Living in Las Vegas. (Alcohol may have played a part.) First we welcome the newest adoption to the Vegas Video Network family, then we discover the deliciousness that is adult sno-tinis, and we close by recounting a trip to Public House where Scott and Melissa debate the benefits (or drawbacks) of butt gaskets and syrup made of Jack Daniels Honey.

#137: Our Real Estate Market - Great For Some, Terrible for Others

For those in our audience considering a move to Las Vegas, among the most often-asked questions is about the real estate market. In this episode of the Living in Las Vegas Podcast, Scott and Melissa compare what they went through when purchasing their home in 2003 to what is happening in the market today. If you’re thinking of buying, this is the show for you. Show notes:

#126: RAW:Vegas; What First Friday Should Be

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:

Over at the VEGAS VIDEO NETWORK, we’re very excited about a new show that premieres this Wednesday.

Hosted by local “golf guru” Dennis Silvers (ESPN, Fox Sports, Sirius/XM Radio), Golf & Other Fore-Letter Words is the newest addition to the network’s line up.

LIVE and very fast-paced, the show featuring three major segments:

• “Tournament Scorecard” - an in-depth review of the previous week’s pro-golfing action
• “Birdies and Bogies” — a funny (and often critical) look at the news and rumors of golf
• “Handicap Helper” — Answers to viewer questions

Here’s the press release: VEGAS VIDEO NETWORK Adds ‘Golf & Other Fore-Letter Words’ to Network Line-Up

Come check us out LIVE this Wednesday at 6PM Pacific (http://VegasVideoNetwork.com/LIVE). If you have a golfing questions, send it along to golf@vegasvideonetwork.com.

As those of you who are long time listeners/viewers of the Living in Las Vegas Podcast know, since launching the VEGAS VIDEO NETWORK in October/2010, we switched our main LiLV podcast feed from audio to video. Since then, we’ve received some very nice feedback about the switch (yes, I know Melissa is pretty). However, for some folks who don’t have video-viewing capabilities, or who want to listen to the show "on the go", the video-only options was limiting.

We’ve been considering this addition for some time. Come to find out, integrating an audio feed for each and every show currently running on the VEGAS VIDEO NETWORK, and doing so in an as automated fashion as possible, is not as easy as you might think.

We’ve spent time re-designing our production workflow and are happy to announce the Vegas Video Network now offers audio-only versions of all our current programming, including the Living in Las Vegas Podcast!

On the VVN website, we’ve added a new AUDIO page for folks who just want to listen or download their favorite episodes (LiLV or the other shows as well). I’ve added a audio-only RSS link to the top of the www.LivingInLV.com website.

Three Ways to Listen

If you want to list the most recent audio version of the LiLV Podcast on the web, click here.

For those of you who use iTunes, click here and iTunes will automatically start and load/subscribe to the new audio feed.

For those who want access to the RSS feed (suitable for Google Reader, for example), you’ll want to click this link.

Here are those links again:

Thanks all for the feedback and continued support. Melissa and I appreciate it!

When it comes to great Las Vegas Video, we’re working hard at the VEGAS VIDEO NETWORK to develop great content.  With that great content comes the hope that we attract great sponsors to the network and our shows. 

I’m proud to say that with the New Year comes a new sponsor for the VEGAS VIDEO NETWORK. We are very proud to be working with Dr. Richard Rothman and LASIK of Nevada.

In practice for over 20 years, Dr. Rothman has performed over 30,000 40,000 LASIK procedures and is the most experienced LASIK surgeon living in Nevada. I’ve known Dr. Rothman for several years now and have been impressed with his practice and the testimonials he continues to receive.

Speaking of testimonials, the LASIK of Nevada ad we’re running features Academy Award-nominated actor Chazz Palminteri, who flew from New York to get his LASIK procedure done by Dr. Rothman.

As part of LASIK of Nevada’s sponsorship, I asked if they’d offer VEGAS VIDEO NETWORK viewers special pricing. . .and they agreed to do so! Simply visit LasikOfNV.com/VVN and you’ll see that in addition to 50% off premium LASIK, if you mention “VVN”, you’ll receive another $200 discount!

If you’re considering LASIK, be sure to include Dr. Rothman and LASIK of Nevada in your research!
