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) […]

Jury Duty in Las Vegas

Sorry for the lack of posts yesterday - I had jury duty and couldn’t get my laptop to connect. I had totally missed the sign in the lobby of the Regional Justice Center that gave information on how to do that, but my mind wasn’t really on it when I walked in!

Getting Married in the Wedding Capitol of the World

Las Vegas has long been dubbed the Wedding Capitol of the World, and with good reason! Last year alone Clark County (where Las Vegas is located) issued upwards of 114,000 marriage certificates, down a few thousand from 2004’s 124,000+.

Some Las Vegas Humor: Driving in Las Vegas

I would make a joke about this definitely being a Monday, but I just don’t have the energy. My husband’s out of town for work and it’s just me and the kids, so this email forward from my dear friend Alicia (who was born and raised here!) is a welcomed distraction.
