As I was playing around with my iPod Touch, I stumbled upon Time Magazine’s iPod-based website.  The first article I found was a cover-piece about Las Vegas.  It was a very interesting article.  Here’s the link:

Along with the article, there was an associated video that followed a local real estate agent to two foreclosed properties, one of which was in Newport Lofts [recent blog post].  You’ve got to see this video.  Half of the units are empty, according to the real estate agent.  It’s startling what somebody was able to do at one of the lofts (change the locks?!?!).  They sneak into house later in the video to see the shape it’s in.  Here’s the video link:

Have a great weekend everybody!

I don’t know about you, but I’m always picking up Las Vegas themed gifts for my out of town friends and family. Usually, I buy in bulk and keep a few on hand for those last minute parties, birthday gifts, etc.

I’m a huge fan of pop art and am quite excited that Lichtenstein, Warhol and friends are currently showing at the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art. I’m even more stoked that Wednesday nights from 5:00pm - 7:30pm admission is just $8 for locals. That’s a $7 savings! I guess you know where I’ll be on Wednesday… I’m marking it on my calendar now

Can’t make it on Wednesdays? The gallery offers $3 off their regular price ($15) any other time for locals.

For more information or to purchase tickets in advance, call 702.693.7871. As always, a Nevada ID is required to recieve the savings.

67: Southern Nevada Art Gallery in Downtown, Re-piping the House, Miss USA, Britney Spears

Recorded in front of a LIVE Streaming Video Audience! (click to see video)

Yep, we intended for this to be a quick show.  The idea was, instead of one main topic, let’s quick-hit a few topics and be done in 20-30 minutes.  An hour later, which included some fun back-and-forth with our live audience, this edition of the Living in Las Vegas Podcast features a great art gallery in downtown Las Vegas (at Neonopolis of all places), re-piping our entire house, watching the Miss USA preliminary competition and Melissa’s experience at Brit-Brit’s concert.

I like food. I mean, who doesn’t? Being from the East Coast, I really like seafood. Alas, living in the desert makes it hard to find decent seafood. But, not only does TENDER steak & seafood have good seafood it also has fantastic steak. Their surf and turf combos are my favorite.

Recently, TENDER steak & seafood launched a local’s promotion: $20 off your bill of $100 or more. During the week, they also have a $45 3-course Prix Fixe Menu (view here). So, impress your date, take her to TENDER steak & seafood for a fantastic three-course meal, get a glass of wine and boom! get $20 off.

For reservations you can call 702-262-4852 or reserve online here. Don’t forget to mention this special and bring your Nevada I.D.

Happy eating!

I’ve been lucky enough to see almost every show on the Strip. Far and away my favorite show is LOVE by Cirque du Soleil. No matter how many times I see it, I always notice something new. While you don’t have to be a Beatles fan to see the show, the music is so fantastic that you’ll probably become one after watching LOVE

Now through March you can get LOVE tickets for 25% OFF by going here. While this specific offer is available to everyone, the 25% off for Locals is available indefinitely. Just make sure to bring your Local ID when purchasing.

MGM MIRAGE just launched a new website specifically for locals. The site, mgmmirage.com/locals, features deals from all their properties spanning from Hotel, Dining, Entertainment, Spa and Others.

Many of the deals are 2-for-1 offers or 20% off your entire bill. If you have friends in town or just want to be a toursist for a weekend, make sure to check the site for a plethora of savings.

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
