#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:

#155: Our Top 3 Date Night Delights

This edition of Living in Las Vegas goes out to all the ladies. . .well, actually, it goes out to all the men who want to get lucky with all the ladies.

Scott and Melissa visit three of their favorite “get-lucky” restaurants in Las Vegas. We’ve got a killer view with equally great food, a smokin’ drink the size of your head, and an outstanding Thai restaurant that is not Lotus of Siam. (Men, you can thank us later.) Show notes:

#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:

• Weather (Ahhh, that’s nice) / LiLV Pool (clear and slowly improving)

** 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.
