#135: New Years Eve in Vegas, or How to Avoid Projectile Vomit

For our first Living in Las Vegas Podcast of 2012, we start a weight-loss revolution and explain how you can have a great evening of dinner, drinks and a show at the Mirage. We then rock out with a Guns n’ Roses member and review what New Years Eve is like on Fremont Street. (Can you guess where the projectile vomit takes place? And by whom?) Show notes:

77: LiLV Podcast — Bowling, Beautiful People, Brrrr, Bird Poop and Blues

While not for the faint of heart, sometimes, you just got to pick a letter of the alphabet and form an entire show around it. Lesser folks would shy away from such a bold move. . .but not your fearless hosts. In this edition of the Living in Las Vegas Podcast, we focus on the letter "B" — which is what "Melissa" means in Spanish (bee, that is)**. Show notes:

• PHOTOS! (Utah girl’s snow trip)
• Weather (Ahhh, that’s nice) / LiLV Pool (clear and slowly improving)
• LiLV Stuff
  • Listener Line: 206.312.0105
  • Sign up of Email Alerts (form found on right side of our website)

• Bowling at Red Rock (Bowling #b1)
• XS Nightclub at Encore (Beautiful People #b2)

• Le Reve / Stratta (Bird Poop #b4)
• Listener Email: Elvis asks a question, Mark offers a drink
• Hot and Horrible: BB King’s Blues Club (Blues, #b5)

** Okay, we really didn’t start off trying to create a show about things starting with “B”. I was just looking for a theme. Don’t judge me.

68: A Las Vegas Staycation with Scott and Melissa

Melissa just left a message on my office voice mail. . .Danny Gans, who was headlining at Encore (and was a long-time headliner at the Mirage) has died.

This is sad news.  He was a classic Las Vegas act. . .of which there really aren’t many left. 

According to TMZ, Mr. Gans died at 3AM in his home in Las Vegas.  The news agency reports that his wife discovered his body and called for help.

Danny Gas was 57 52-years-old.

I know, I know, I recently wrote about a LOVE deal. But, this one is even better! And, it’s a true locals offer.

Now through May 31, Locals can purchase LOVE tickets starting at $60. That’s 40% OFF the original price! I don’t think you’ll find a deal better than this one, so purchase your tickets today by going here.

Tickets are limited to 6 per person and upon pick up you must show your local ID. For more information about the offer, visit Ticketmaster.

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.
