With today marking the second anniversary of VVN, Scott and Melissa share fond memories of the networks beginnings, and give thanks to the many who have helped the network grow.

#155: Our Top 3 Date Night Delights
June 20, 2012
This edition of Living in Las Vegas goes out to all the ladies. . .well, actually, it goes out to all the men who want to get lucky with all the ladies.
Scott and Melissa visit three of their favorite “get-lucky” restaurants in Las Vegas. We’ve got a killer view with equally great food, a smokin’ drink the size of your head, and an outstanding Thai restaurant that is not Lotus of Siam. (Men, you can thank us later.) Show notes:

Just saw this in our local neighborhood paper.
The Tea Lounge on the 23rd floor of he Mandarin Oriental at CityCenter is offering locals 20% off their bill for tea and/or tea cocktails now through Labor Day.
What is a tea cocktail?
Good question. Here’s a couple examples:
Royal Tea – orange vodka, simple syrup, chilled Osmanthus Oolong tea, splash of lemon juice, on the rocks.
Tea-tini – bourbon, chilled jasmine pearl tea, and apple juice, sweetened with agave nectar.
I wonder if I can hang a Lipton bag on the side of my Tanqueray and Tonic and call it a tea cocktail?

February 27, 2010
While there are certainly a few things making life in Las Vegas a bit tough for many of our fellow Las Vegans (unemployment and housing prices, for example), we love that we live in a city that was once our go-to place for weekend getaways. We’re just 30 minutes away from some of the best food, lodging and entertainment the country has to offer.
Which is pretty cool.
In this edition of the Living in Las Vegas Podcast, we review some of the touristy things we’ve been up to during the last couple of months. Show notes:

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!

This is the first of a BUNCH of videos I took at the CityCenter’s Aria and Crystals properties for Episode 74. This video is all of us driving up to the property, getting turned away from valet parking, and watching a guy fall asleep standing up.
