80: Enjoying Life as a Las Vegas Local

If you live in Las Vegas, you really owe it to yourself to get out and enjoy that which is Sin City. The weather. The food. The entertainment. And since our last episode, we’ve been busy doing just that!

79: Cirque du Soleil Plus ELVIS - A Little Less Conversation?

78: YeeeeHaaaaw! I’m a Little Bit Country at Helldorado Days in Downtown Las Vegas

I’m pretty sure if it weren’t for that chewing tobacco thing, I’d have been a cowboy. Oh, and the cows. And that smell. And all that dirt and stuff. And sleeping in anything other than a kind-size bed.

But I digress.

Today’s Living in Las Vegas Podcast brings out our cowboy and cowgirl side as we ramble on down yonder to the Hellodaro Days celebration in downtown Las Vegas. Show notes:

• PHOTOS! (Git, now.)

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

** 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.

76: Living in Las Vegas, Acting Like a Tourist

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:

75: [Video] Living in Las Vegas Podcast Four Year Anniversary

Today marks the FOUR-YEAR ANNIVERSARY of the Living in Las Vegas Podcast! In today’s special VIDEO episode, we review a few of our favorite things about being hosts of this “groovy little podcast”!

74: CityCenter: ARIA Hotel and Casino and Crystals

So anyways, we’ve been getting a lot of suggestions to visit the center of the city. . .but I have to tell you, I wasn’t all that impressed with US95 and Rancho. That’s when we realized, we shouldn’t have gone to the city’s center, but to CityCenter. In this edition of the Living in Las Vegas Podcast, we take 20+ videos to help us remember what $8.5Billion dollars can do when you put your mind to it. (Actually, we didn’t see all $8.5B worth. . .just Aria and Crystals. . .and it was puuurty.)  Show notes:
