MTV is taping a series of "Real World - Las Vegas" for it's next show. The group will be living in rooms made into an apartment at the new Palms hotel/casino. Believe the taping has already started. If you are in LV and visit the Palms, you just may get a first-hand view of some of the participants.

I haven't been watching "Real World - Chicago" since the first episode, but I do think I would be interested in seeing just where their daily activities take them while living in Las Vegas. If anyone knows the date of the first showing on television, please let us know.

Beth,
I'm not a TV watcher normally. What is this show about? a sitcom?

Lee,

It's a group of young adults, who without knowing each other beforehand, agree to live together in an apartment while exploring a city. It's a study of personalities and how they interact with each other. The first episode I saw, while the participants were living in Chicago, found all of them in the hot tub trying to learn all about each other. It's all about the interaction while exploring the city. Lots of emotions involved.

I'm sure someone else could give a much better explanation of the show. I did not watch more than one episode so it's a little difficult for me to give the best description. It is definitely not a sitcom.

Beth

Thank You Beth.......It doens't sound like anything I'd normally pick out to watch. Thanks for the heads up. Your right, it might be interesting to see what they do in Vegas.

Believe it or not, REAL WORLD is one of the pioneers of all the "reality TV" we have on television these days (like SURVIVOR, AMAZING RACE, TEMPTATION ISLAND, etc.).

REAL WORLD is in its 11th season and as Beth said, they pick 7 people, usually aged 18-24, they live in a house, work together, and have their lives taped for 6 months. Las Vegas will be the 12th season and episodes will probably start running in the Fall.

Currently, they're showing what took place in Chicago last Summer. The show makes my city look really good and I'm sure it will attract people who watch to come here and visit.

The Palms score a real coup by snagging the REAL WORLD LAS VEGAS show. I'm sure they'll make their hotel look very appealing and it will generate business there.

Mike,
It sounds like the Palm is making a play for the Hard Rock crowd.
And what's not to like about Chicago? All I have to mention to Sue is Michigan Ave, and her palms get sweaty, and her eyes start to tear up! <VBG>
