Fantastic Indoor Swapmeet

It’s been several years since we last went to the Fantastic Indoor Swapmeet here in town. It was dark and crowded and noisy and I have no reason to think that’s changed over the years! We found what we were looking for (summer hats for the kids), but as with anywhere, buyer beware (knock-offs galore) […]

Mystère at Treasure Island

We took the kids to see Mystère at Treasure Island last night. My husband and I went six years ago by ourselves because the kids were too young, but we decided they were old enough to appreciate it now (they’re 7 and 9), and we were right!

Bowling at the Santa Fe Station

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 […]

The Best Las Vegas Buffets

Buffets are as Las Vegas as Elvis and neon. However, over the years they’ve gone through quite a transformation. Many of them no longer resemble the standard lunchroom look that they did for so long, instead they’ve undergone makeovers to look like quaint markets, gourmet eateries or art galleries.

Snow Day at Mount Charleston

Our forecast this week predicted the chance of snow over the next few days, but as usual, the closer we got, it changed to rain, and now it’s just supposed to be cloudy. While this is disappointing for those of us who actually like and/or miss snow (or even rain), we don’t have to despair! […]

Las Vegas Christmas Lights

One of our family traditions each year is to drive around surrounding neighborhoods a couple of days before Christmas and look at the house lights.
There’s one house down the street that goes all out every year: Decorations start going up the day after Thanksgiving and continue all throughout the following weekend. Once they’re up […]
