The weather has cooled down a bit (we’re only hitting 90 now!) so it’s time to head outside and have some fun:
Friday September 28
The Pahrump Wild West Extravaganza begins today. There will be live country and western bands, a dinner theatre and melodrama both Friday and Saturday nights as well as an “Old Church” […]
The rest of our day out with friends on the Strip ended at M&M’s World Las Vegas. We’ve been here many, many times over the years but it’s one of the first places I’ll tell people to visit if they get the chance. It’s located at 3785 S Las Vegas Blvd, next to the MGM […]
In general I like living in Las Vegas but there are things here and there that do bug me:
“I thought what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas! Haha!” Just… stop.
The weather. I thought it got hot when we lived in Utah, but it’s nothing — nothing — compared to Vegas heat. Most people […]
Yet another great reason to live in Las Vegas comes in the form of tourist attractions. One of my biggest issues when we moved here was being smacked around by tourists but the residential areas are really so far from the Strip that in our area you very rarely run into anyone that doesn’t actually […]
Blue Man Group has come under fire recently for its apparent lack of concern for how a labor union works.
“Last May, stage workers for Blue Man Group voted to join the union. During the vote, many new members said they hoped of getting better pay, health care benefits and pensions. But since joining the […]

“Elvis sang it best when he said “Bright light city gonna set my soul on fire.” Neon fuels our dreams and adds some sort of visual evidence to our hopes and expectations. Neon hit the desert in the late ’20s, but the first […]
It comes as no surprise that Las Vegas takes the top spot for the nation’s driest city. I have a few friends and family members I need to call and say “I told you so!”
California, Montana, Nevada and Arizona rank as the driest states, while Mobile, AL, Pensacola, FL, and New Orleans, LA took the […]
Google has released a new toy: Street View Maps. You can check out the Strip without even leaving your desk.
I think it’s a neat idea, especially when used for public places like the Strip, finding a grocery store, etc, but it seems to get a bit sketchy when used on private/personal property. What do […]
I have a love/hate thing with the Review Journal’s Best of Las Vegas that they publish every year.
On the one hand, you can find some really great stuff (you really should try the Bobbie) that you normally wouldn’t have, but on the other hand you have to wonder if the readers even try (Taco Bell […]
