77: LiLV Podcast — Bowling, Beautiful People, Brrrr, Bird Poop and Blues
April 11, 2010
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:

February 27, 2010
While there are certainly a few things making life in Las Vegas a bit tough for many of our fellow Las Vegans (unemployment and housing prices, for example), we love that we live in a city that was once our go-to place for weekend getaways. We’re just 30 minutes away from some of the best food, lodging and entertainment the country has to offer.
Which is pretty cool.
In this edition of the Living in Las Vegas Podcast, we review some of the touristy things we’ve been up to during the last couple of months. Show notes:

November 22, 2009
Call me crazy, but there’s something to be said for watching a bunch of woman whoosh around a roller rink, kicking the crap out of each other. The teamwork, the strategy, the action. . .the Pabst Blue Ribbon beer.
(At least, that’s what Tomahawk says.)
In this edition of the Living in Las Vegas Podcast, we discover the joy that is Woman’s Flat Track Roller Derby, featuring the Sin City Roller Girls. Show notes:

72: Hanging Out on the Las Vegas Strip (and Why Las Vegas Locals Hate Doing So)
November 1, 2009
It’s a surprise to many Las Vegas tourists that a large number of Las Vegas locals hate hanging out on The Strip. We, of course, do not belong to that category of Las Vegans. We like visiting the coolest street in the USA. . .but understand why many locals don’t share our enthusiasm.
In this edition of the Living in Las Vegas Podcast, we talk about our last couple of visits to The Strip and introduce a new “cast member” to the Living in Las Vegas Podcast! Show notes:

68: A Las Vegas Staycation with Scott and Melissa
June 20, 2009
I think it’s safe to say that for those of us who live in Las Vegas, there is no better place to enjoy a “Staycation” (a vacation in your own town) than right here. . .in the town that REALLY never sleeps. For this edition of the Living in Las Vegas Podcast, we take you on an overnight trip to the Strip, from a local’s perspective. Show notes:

66: Learning About the Origins of Las Vegas at Springs Preserve
March 22, 2009
Recorded in front of a LIVE Streaming Video Audience (click to see video)!
For many of us, the search for our origins has translated into thousands of dollars of therapy. And while I’m certainly not one to criticize the need to lay (or is it lie?) on a couch and travel back in time to explore your childhood, allow me to suggest another avenue of discovery. In this edition of the Living in Las Vegas Podcast, we feature our trip to Springs Preserve, an outstanding place to learn all about your history. . .if by “you” you mean Las Vegas. Show notes:

65: Living the Loft Lifestyle in Las Vegas
February 15, 2009
What a fun show to record! Thanks everybody who joined the live video streaming session!!
With the real estate environment in Las Vegas struggling, we wondered what was available in the loft market. I’ve always thought there was something inherently groovy about lofts. . .seems like they’d be the place where Las Vegas hipsters might hang out. So for this episode of the Living in Las Vegas Podcast, we visit three brand-new(ish) Las Vegas lofts available for your living enjoyment. Show notes:
This episode was recorded as both an audio file (found here) AND a video. The original video was over 18GB in size so we’re working on creating a more management size file to add to our RSS file. It will be added as a separate post.)

64: Dining at Wynn Encore, New Year’s Eve with 20-Somethings and Live Video
January 11, 2009
Because we enjoy having guests at the Whitney Villa, one of the great things about Living in Las Vegas is hosting/entertaining visitors when they come to town. For today’s Living in Las Vegas Podcast, we first take our kids (who are visiting from California) to Wynn Encore for $ome fancy dining. Then, we review our New Year’s Eve party which brought in nine additional 20-somethings to the house and taught me a bit about bouncing back after puking, that some kids can drink faster than I ever could, and that if you play your cards right, you can get a secret XBOX 360 code for unlimited songs in Rock Star. Show notes: (Now where did I put my NutriTorture snack bar. . .oh, and there is some swearing in this episode)

December 15, 2008
I received a bunch of excited calls from Melissa this morning. She was up in Centennial Hills (NW Las Vegas) and it was snowing! She wanted me to get some video of it (as I promised her I would in our last podcast) so I headed out there with my Flip video camera to take a look.
Below are two videos I took while coming up on Ann Ave. from the 215. Pretty impressive stuff!
