I also write a chocolate blog here at b5 and came across these chocolate poker chips and chocolate dice while roaming around this morning. It wasn’t hard to come up with Chocolate + Vegas = Valentine’s Day, but that could [...]
I touched on this briefly last October when I wrote about Nevada Day: There is an actual official pronunciation of “Nevada” and if you get it wrong, heaven help you!

My husband recently joined a bowling league through work and their first meet-up is tonight which has inspired me to write about, what else, bowling in Las Vegas! Spouses were invited to join as well, and while I do like to bowl I’m not terribly good at it unless a Wii is involved, so I [...]
