#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:

#147: Does Scott Owe the Review-Journal Readers an Apology?

Scott and Melissa believe the best cure for a hangover is a McDonald’s cheeseburger, fries and a Coke. However, there’s a new business in Las Vegas that thinks otherwise. Then after a surprising dining experience at RM Seafood, the Whitney’s head to the Luxor and confirm that topless shows are fantastic. (Oh, and Lorena Peril should be the next big star on the Strip.)

#121: Should You (or Your Parents) Retire in Las Vegas?

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.

84: I’ve Got Your Good News and Bad News

Over the last week, we’ve seen a noticeable increase in national news about Las Vegas. . .some bad (not a surprise), some good (thankfully). For today’s Living in Las Vegas Podcast, we talk about a few of these stories and the impact they have on those of us living here in Las Vegas. Show notes:

• Weather (70ish) / LiLV Pool (53 + crickets and other critters)
• LiLV Stuff

• Friends adds Duane and Regina from Oklahoma
• Listener Email: Live Jazz revisited (and a list of jazz venues)
• Bad News
  • Nevada Population (which is effected mostly by Clark County)
  • Harmon Hotel at CityCenter
• Good News
  • Signs of recovery?
  • Great Price for Cirque du Soleil tickets (local’s only)

Take two, Baby. This time, with feeling (and some sound).

I had heard earlier this month that a lion attacked a trainer at The Lion Habitat at MGM Grand.  Come to find out, a tourist was shooting video when it all took place!

The attack begins off camera.  It appears the male lion decided he’d had enough of the thinner trainer.  After the initial attack, the lion and trainer are separated only for the lion to go after him again a bit later in the video.

Here’s a thought – let’s stop thinking that putting a wild animal in an unnatural environment isn’t going to eventually piss it off.
