After another great pep talk from Melissa, the Whitney’s begin today’s Living in Las Vegas Podcast with our first non-human adoption and an additional touch of class, thanks to Wayne the Sommelier (keep the tip, W). Scott follows with his journey to the Playboy Comedy Club, Ellis Island, and Bootlegger’s Bistro Jazz Open Mic Cabaret without the accompaniment of Melissa.

#95: Returning to the Scene of the Crime
February 9, 2011
Interesting topics this week. . .one casino recovers most of the 1.5 million dollars stolen from it. Another is saved from public foreclosure in the nick of time. And more than half of all homes sold in Las Vegas were paid for in cash. In this episode of the Living in Las Vegas Podcast, Las Vegas locals Scott and Melissa wonder about the mental stability of a casino thief who returns to the scene of the crime (A LOT) and talk about money and casinos.

This is pretty cool news, y’all.
The Amazing Johnathan, the first Strip entertainer I insisted we see when we moved to Las Vegas, is going to be appearing LIVE on Awkward Silence.
What??! YES!
AJ (that’s what his friends call him) will find himself in a “No Holds Barred. No restrictions” interview with our host-with-the-most, Brian Mollica.
AJ will be on the FEBRUARY 3rd, 2011 Awkward Silence episode, which starts LIVE at 6PM (PST). If you’ve ever wanted to ask AJ a question (like, “where’s the best place to go bandana shopping?”), THIS IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO!
See you on Thursday night!

Having lived in Las Vegas since 2004, one of the most enjoyable things I do is visit The Strip. And one of the funniest parts of those visits is overhearing what others say while walking around with a 4-foot margarita strapped around their neck. I thought it would be cool to create a single online spot to list all these funny quotes and comments so PodWorx just launched a new website called Overheard on The Strip.
Here’s the URL: http://www.OverheardOnTheStrip.com
If you’ve heard something funny during your time on The Strip, we would love for you to join the fun. Please take a moment and stop by the website. Because much of the fun of a Las Vegas Strip visit is the people watching (and listening), I hope you enjoy your visit to our brand-new website!
76: Living in Las Vegas, Acting Like a Tourist
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:
