HGTV'S 'FLIP OR FLOP VEGAS' RETURNS WITH MORE WINNING HOME RENOS ON THURSDAY, MARCH 15

New York [Feb. 7, 2018] High-stakes house flips, dilapidated properties and major design overhauls are just a few of the challenges that expert home renovators Bristol and Aubrey Marunde will tackle in the sophomore season of HGTV's hit series Flip or Flop Vegas. Premiering on Thursday, March 15, at 9 p.m. ET/PT, the 13 half-hour episodes will follow Bristol, a builder, and Aubrey, a real estate agent and designer, as they use smart home improvements and a dash of Vegas-style glamour to transform rundown desert properties into beautiful family homes. More than 15 million viewers watched Bristol and Aubrey during the first season.

"Real estate moves so fast in Vegas," said Aubrey. "Bristol and I have to be really careful about which properties we select and how much we invest in them, but, living in Vegas, we live for the gamble.

In the season premiere, Bristol and Aubrey will return to the neighborhood that launched their flipping careers to find their next flip - a dingy three-level home with an odd layout and an awkwardly placed staircase. The enterprising duo will create an open concept in the main living area, upgrade the existing kitchen and add custom stair railings to give the home an industrial glam overhaul. The results make the home seem more spacious and modern with fun colors, finishes and accents.

"We know that our homes appeal to Las Vegas buyers because they sell so quickly when we finish," Bristol added. "The thrill of the flip never gets old."
