Vegas is a popular travel destination, and for good reason. Deals are found at practically every locale, from buffets to shows to souvenir shops. But with over two million residents, it’s also a pretty great place to live, offering even more deals to locals!
A trend that’s gaining more popularity lately are “staycations” - a vacation […]

It’s probably safe to say that anyone who’s ever had In-N-Out Burger suddenly just got very hungry! Truth be told, Alicia can keep her Chik-Fil-A (which Vegas is, admittedly, sorely lacking) because I have In-N-Out!
In-N-Out Burger is, without exception, something everyone in my family can agree on when we need a quick lunch or dinner. […]

Very sadly, the Pass It On Las Vegas website I wrote about a while ago has closed its doors. No real explanation was given though it was hinted that bandwidth was an issue. Several other members stepped in when the problem first came to light and started up off-shoot […]

Not too long after we moved here, my friend Alicia turned me on to what has become an invaluable resource - the Pass It On Las Vegas message board.
Very similar to a freecycle list, Pass It On allows Las Vegas residents to give away, pick up, sell and buy items they no longer need. […]
I just came across a handy utility the other day that finds ATM locations for you pretty much anywhere in the world.
I plugged in Las Vegas, which you can find a here. I’ve also added it to the sidebar over to the right. Locations are listed alphabetically or you can use the drop-down box […]

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!
