Andrew Kwasniewski, President of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, was found dead yesterday by his wife in their Summerlin home. According to reports, it appears to be a self inflicted gunshot wound to the head. It is an ongoing investigation by the Las Vegas Metro Police Department and there should be more details at a later date.

Listeners to the Living in Las Vegas Podcast know that there are many sides to this groovy little podcast.
Laughs? You bet.
Insight into the Las Vegas lifestyle. Of course.
The warming embrace associated with puppies, cookies and milk? Surprised?
Don’t be. As those already on our Friends pages have discovered, besides whiter whites, a sense of warmth and calm gently cascades over them upon their appearance on the page. This explains why Jennifer, who is a new listener to the podcast (and who lives in M-M-Minnesota), longed for the warmth we provide.
Welcome to the website, Jennifer! No need to bundle up any more!
Feeling a little chilly yourself? Then chilly no more! Just attach a photo of yourself to an email and send it to friends@livinginlv.com. It’s Easy. It’s Free. And it’ll cut your heating bill by 13% (uh…or less).

The picts keep coming!!
Today I added our latest Friend of the Living in Las Vegas Podcast photo. . .from active listener Mike S. from Connecticut. I’ve had the pleasure to swap emails with Mike and have also feature Mike during the Listener Audio segment of the show.
When he’s not listening to the show, he works for a company that makes colored guitar strings. . .which he was kind enough to send my way.
Welcome to the Friends page, Mike! Thanks for playing along!
By the way, are YOU on our Friends page? If you’re not, be a part of the most exciting photo upload website in existence! Just attach a photo of yourself to an email and send it to friends@livinginlv.com. Life as you know it will be free of stress and full of love and happiness!

We really get a kick when one of our listeners sends us a Friends photo and includes a tip-of-the-hat to the Living in Las Vegas Podcast! Our very first photo, from Sheena in Massachusetts (now San Diego, I believe), did so and so have Mark & Luz (Spain), Stuart (Moscow), Bill (Indiana), and Joel (Israel). About 30 minutes ago, Dani from Las Vegas added her own T.O.T.H . photo as well!
According to Dani’s photo, she is “Definitely ‘Living in Las Vegas’ Baby!” That’s the way we like it! Living. In Las Vegas.
Welcome to the website, Dani. And thanks again for joining the fun!
By the way, are YOU on our Friends page? Kim O. did it. And so did Dani! Just attach a photo of yourself to an email and send it to friends@livinginlv.com. It’s Easy. It’s Free. And it’ll likely get Scott to pay for the first round of drinks if you’re sipping a beverage with the Whitney’s.

Okay, well that’s not completely true.
Yes, Melissa and I think of all our listeners as our friends. And if it were up to me, I’d simply grab your photo from Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, MySpace, wherever and automatically add your smiling face to our Friends of LILV Page.
Buuuuuuut several privacy statutes prevent me from doing so.
So, we get by with an little (email) help from our friends – most recently, Kim O. from San Diego!!
Kim continues to prove that along with being the smartest podcast audience in the world, the Living in Las Vegas Podcast listeners are good looking people, too!
I don’t mean to brag, I don’t mean to boast,
but LiLV Friends are the BEST (according to this post).
Kim recently signed up to our E-mail list and immediately decided that besides receiving groovy email stuff, she wanted her whites to be whiter.
“But how?”, Kim thought to herself.
Then it dawned on her. She remembered visiting the Friends page and learning that by simply emailing her photo to friends@livinginlv.com, her whites would be whiter.
“Ahhhh, problem solved,” Kim sighed.
Welcome to the website, Kim! And may I say, what nice whites you have.
By the way, are YOU on our Friends page? If you’re not, you should be! Just attach a photo of yourself to an email and send it to friends@livinginlv.com. Life as you know it will improve and you’ll be blessed by the universe!

It’s been WAY TOO LONG since we had our last official Listener Meet Up. This travesty must be resolved! Our first Meet Up was a thrill for us, and each subsequent gathering has been a kick as well.
So why the drought?
No (good) reason, I’m afraid. Melissa and I are busy folks but that’s no excuse for not creating an excuse to meet up with groovy folks like yourself!
Details will follow, but I wanted to put this date out there now. The plan is to have our Living in Las Vegas Podcast Spring Meet Up on SATURDAY, April 24th, 2010.
Time and location are to be determined. If you have a suggestion, PLEASE let me know.
Melissa and I are looking forward to sipping a joyful beverage and hanging out with the greatest people on this earth. In the meantime, why don’t we all hang out? (Those great people are so hard to talk to.)
SAVE THIS DATE: SATURDAY, APRIL 24th, 2010.
START TIME: Probably 5-7PMish 6:30PM
LOCATION: To Be Determined Brio Restaurant, Town Square (South Las Vegas Blvd, by Fry’s)

To celebrate my birthday this past weekend, Melissa made reservations at Aria (in CityCenter). We were very impressed with the property overall and took this video upon entry into our room. We learned that automation is cool, when Aria says Blackout curtains, they mean it, and you better be sure you want something out of that minibar. . .because if you move it, you pay for it.
For other videos, visit the new Living in Las Vegas YouTube Channel.
p.s. During our entire stay, all the casinos we visited (Luxor, Excalibur, New York New York, Aria) were PACKED.
p.s.s. What do you think of what we saw? Would love to hear from y’all!

Here’s a quicky video I took when Melissa and I met a few friends downtown for dinner, drinks and live comedy. This video is from Firefly, which is located within the Plaza Hotel and Casino. As you’ll see, they’ve got a GREAT view of Fremont Street.

Just curious. . .I was wondering if the folks who visit this website or subscribe to our podcast use online blackjack guides to become a better blackjack player. Do they help when you’re playing live versus online? How about for other games like craps, roulette, and hold ‘em?
