V AsianTV has a wide array of travel and lifestyle programs, all in English, produced by and for
Asians. Top on the list is “It’s Vegas with Lani”, a mainstream show hosted by an Asian, which
features the best destinations and experiences in and around Las Vegas. Ms. Lani Misalucha
became the first Asian female performer to headline Las Vegas. She has been called "Siren of
the Strip" by Show Biz Magazine on their cover and “The New Diva of Las Vegas” by What’s
On Magazine. In March 2008, Lani was voted "Best Singer" (staff pick) in the "27th Annual
Best of Las Vegas" by the Las Vegas Review Journal. This puts her in the same sentence as
super-diva Celine Dion, the readers' pick for "Best Singer". Lani will show the global audience
a new perspective of Las Vegas by presenting it as a beautiful, exhilarating destination. It is
a unique, fast-paced, colorful and inviting TV series that will show the world that Vegas is not
just the Entertainment Capital of the World, but also the Art, Food, Destination, Adventure and
Wedding Capital of the world, as well.
New programs in the production stage are:
- 1. ASIATOWN
Animated billboard and brief intros (30 to 90 second segments) of Asian businesses
and entrepreneurs or doing business with Asians in the Las Vegas Valley. - 2. WHAT’S FOR DINNER?
Each day, viewers will have the opportunity of either following the chef’s instructions
in preparing the featured dinner or simply driving to the featured restaurant
and order the featured dinner for the day. 6 featured dinners each week (M-F +
weekend specials). Aired 2x daily, 11:30 AM and 5:30 PM, the show is hosted by Ria
Villanueva, a Los Angeles-based party hostess who comes to Vegas weekly just to
check out what’s cooking on and off the Strip. - 3. STRIP TALK
A weekly magazine show, with patented stand-alone segments spotlighting the most
talked-about events in Vegas: Stargaze (celebrity watch); Wazzup (events calendar);
Bargain Hunt (best deals in town); and Peep squeak (behind the curtain interview of

A breath of fresh air every morning comes in the form of good news. A young,
energetic host wakes Vegans up with an array of good news happening in the
Valley. 15 mins daily, watch out for the show’s featured segment “My hero”, which
documents a heroic act of a local that provides a positive impact on another’s life. - 5. ASIAN NEWS – Weekly update on the Top stories affecting the Asian ethnic communities
