Cool Off at Lake Mead

We had a wonderful break in our weather last week - it actually got pretty chilly again! But now we’re back up where we’re supposed to be this time of year and many locals and visitors are starting to think of ways to keep cool.
One popular destination is Lake Mead, located just 30 miles southeast […]

In-N-Out Burger

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. […]

The Meadows Mall

My favorite mall here in Vegas is the Meadows Mall. It’s not the hippest or trendiest around, but it has everything you could want and is located in a spot that’s convenient from both the residential areas and the Strip.
It opened in 1978 and has over 960,000 […]

Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que Review

My husband was treated to dinner at Lucille’s Smokehouse a few months ago after finishing up a late night at work. He brought home a few ribs for me to try and I’ve been impatiently waiting until we could all go together!

Bellagio Water Show: Viva Las Vegas

I wrote about the fountains at the Bellagio several weeks ago, and today came across a video of them synced to Elvis Presley’s “Viva Las Vegas.” The fountain show takes place every 30 minutes in the afternoons and early evenings, and every 15 minutes from 8 PM to midnight, every day.

Kids’ Birthday Parties in Las Vegas

My twins turn eight years old today and while we’re not doing a party this year (mom needs a break sometimes!) we have in the past and definitely could have used a party service!
Most places are full service, meaning you take care of pretty much nothing but inviting the kids, and some even offer […]

We […]
