February 1, 2012
Having just returned from 10 days in London, we have an interesting take on the UK’s view of Las Vegas.

#128: What to do When Your Studio Dies
October 19, 2011
In a first for the Living in Las Vegas Podcast, after over six years of successful shows, we have a complete studio failure at the PodWorx studio (vs. the Vegas Video Network studio). This episode is the result of that event. (Anybody want to buy a $7900 computer. . .that doesn’t power up?)
#121: Should You (or Your Parents) Retire in Las Vegas?
August 24, 2011
After talking about the upcoming meetup, car accidents on 215, one of the best comedy shows we’ve ever seen, and the fact that MGM has to deal with two disasters on their hands (Kardashians and the Harmon Tower), we consider whether or not we did the right thing by having Scott’s mom finally retire in Las Vegas.

#105: People ARE Moving to Las Vegas!
April 27, 2011
When we first launched the show, our tagline was, “With 5,000 people moving here each month, somebody had to spill the beans.”
That was in 2006.
Until recently, we’ve seen a net loss in residents here in Clark County. But in this episode of the Living in Las Vegas Podcast, we hear from two viewers who are making the move to Las Vegas. YES! Show notes:

Come to find out, Twitter is good for more than getting updates about Twilight, sharing your anger about poor WorldCup officiating, and telling everybody that you just woke up. It’s really good at finding experts in the most curious of ways.
I put out a tweet about Las Vegas street performers that solicited a funny response by Bridget Magnus, a Las Vegas local. As I often do when I get a reply on Twitter, I checked out her blog. Come to find out, she’s a Realtor. And I was pleasantly surprised to learn that she publishes a weekly blog post called “Friday Figures”, which provides a synopsis on what’s what in the Las Vegas real estate market, based upon figures from GLVAR MLS system.
I asked if she’d be interested in sharing her insights with our Living in Las Vegas Podcast readers and she agreed to do so.
Welcome, Bridget. Thanks for joining the team!

Over the last few days, our readers have seen a steady stream of new blog posts.
Have you noticed?
The increased stream of blog posts have been courtesy of the newest contributor to the Living in Las Vegas Podcast website. I’m happy to introduce our readers/listeners to Jacob Cannon, a good friend of the show and of Melissa and myself (along with his lovely wife Sally!).
Besides sharing the occasional “Man Pizza”, Jacob would constantly send me emails highlighting things happening in the Las Vegas Valley. I asked him if he’d be interested in sharing his insights with our readers and he graciously agreed to do so.
If you have ideas/tips for Jacob, feel free to shoot him an email: JacobC[at]livinginlv.com. I’m sure he’d love to hear from you!
Welcome, Jacob! Thanks for joining the team!

I’m a huge fan of Massage Envy (a chain of massage clinics throughout the valley), but every once in awhile, I want the full Spa experience. Wet, The Spa & Salon at TI provides that with a 20% off discount for Locals. For a full body treatment, I highly recommend the Glowing Goddess Wrap… I’m sure men will benefit as well 
This offer is available Sunday though Thursday and reservations are recommended. Call 702-894-7474 for more details and don’t forget to bring your Local I.D.

The Las Vegas job market continue to be challenging for those out of work. The State of Nevada Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation (DETR) released reports on December 2008 unemployment levels on Monday this week. Nevada’s unemployment level jumped to 9.1% unemployment. This is the highest it has been in over 25 years.
To shed more light on the matter…. if you take into consideration the 5,200 jobs that Wynn Encore added in December, the situation looks even more bleak. If you remove that job creation, Nevada would be over 10%. So…… it is pretty bad folks.
However, there is some hope on the horizon. It appears President Obama’s stimulus package will improve the employment outlook in Nevada. Nearly $1 trillion will be pushed out to the states to stimulate the economy. A large portion of that is dedicated to job creation. The areas where you will see growth will be in Public Works project such as roadways, bridges, telecommunication infrastructure, health care and education.
Nevada supposedly has some 300+ ’shovel ready’ projects that will be presented for funding. These projects will create many new jobs in Nevada. The money will flow from the feds to the states and then down to the counties and agencies performing the work. I anticipate the majority of the initial work will be outsourced so there will be a substantial amount of job creation in the private sectors as well as the public.�
