#180: A First-Hand Look at the Wonderful Life of a High Roller

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:

Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell Rock!

We are reveling in the holiday spirit here at VVN, and as a gift to our viewers and listeners, we reveal our line up for the inaugural VVN Holiday Special. Then, after a decadent dinner, Scott and Melissa take us on a holiday journey filled with lights, sound, and advertisements? Show notes:

#178: How Do You Judge An American Idol Winner?

We are getting into the holiday spirit here at VVN, so we are giving away free stuff!

Scott and Melissa tell you how to get a free beer, hold a contest for some more free items, and reveal our inaugural Talktails holiday show. Then, after a discussion about “Reality TV” and the harm they do, we pretend to wear a too-tight Cowelian t-shirt as we pass judgement on American Idol Winner Taylor Hicks’ show at Bally’s.

#177: Tale of Two Buns - Scott Gets a Colonoscopy

This week on Living in Las Vegas, we find out what Scott and Michael Jackson have in common as Scott gets violated for a good cause. Once Melissa guides Scott out of his post-colonoscopy drug induced haze, they turn a critical eye towards Cirque du Soleil’s Zarkana, and weigh in with their opinions. We wrap up (after cashing another over ticket) by answering viewer email on where to spend New Years Eve with live music that won’t burst your eardrums. Show notes:

#173: Pimpin’ Halloween Edition

It’s the night before Halloween at VVN and we are joined by a pimp, a princess, and a rabbit on this episode of Living in Las Vegas. After Michael Grimm gives us a taste of blue-eyed soul, we get a behind the scenes view of our newest show FSE Live. Then Melissa reveals a “secret” that is not a garden, but full of wildlife. We close with a surprise appearance by Esteban: Master Guitarist. Show notes:

89: Fine, I Won’t Pick the Next Movie

As we recount many of our holiday traditions, this episode of the Living in Las Vegas Podcast reminds the viewer that when it comes to watching a DVD on Christmas day with your family, a film that features full-frontal male nudity may not be the right way to go. Show notes:

Christmas Gathering

Last weekend Melissa and I had a GREAT time joining a bunch of friends we’ve made via the LiLV Podcast for dinner and drinks at Buca Di Beppo, on Lake Mead Blvd.  Besides enjoying the company of Jacob, Sally, Alicia, David, Cheryl, Brad, Sally, Kerry and Perry, we were joined by the Pope himself.

Hard to beat that!

Afterwards, Melissa, David, Alicia and I headed down to Frankie’s Tiki Room. 

I’ve included a link to some photos I’ve uploaded on Picasa.  (Some of those Frankie’s photos did not make it online.  Yikes!)

Merry Christmas to all!

It may be last night’s Hot Buttered Rum talking (best holiday drink ever?  YES!) but this morning your buddy SantaScott is opening up his TwitterGifts (of which I wrote about here) to all Living in Las Vegas Podcast & Blog listeners/readers.  To date, I’ve made available five Christmas songs for those following us at twitter.com/LiLVPodcast and now I’m sharing these same songs with you.

To download these songs (which come from my ChristmAcoustic and ChristmAcoustic II CDs), go the the Twitter website and search for LiLVPodcast TwitterGifts (or just click the link).  It will list each TwitterGift and provide a link to each song.

Hope you enjoy!  Merry Christmas everybody!

I’ve enjoyed my time on Twitter and wanted to thank those who’ve decided to “follow” us by creating a series of TwitterGifts. Beginning today and continuing for many days to come, I will be placing an MP3 file from one of the songs available on my ChristmAcoustic or ChristmAcoustic II CD online as a free gift from Melissa and myself. I’ve sold over 40,000 copies of these CDs (200 today!) and wanted to share this music with those of you who’ve made our initial entry into the Twitter world so much fun.

To get your free ChristmAcoustic/ChristmAcoustic II MP3 file(s), follow us at twitter.com/LiLVPodcast. The first one will be posted in an hour or so.

Happy Holidays!

37: Holiday Cheer: Angels We Have Heard on High
