Vegas is known for gambling and creating artificial environments, mostly meant to extract your money. However, there is much to do beyond the blackjack table.

The More, The Merrier!
We’re trying our best to make sure as many LRHS alumni are in the know about this reunion. With many people taking a step back from social media, it’s been harder to slide into people’s DMs on Instagram or get a response through Facebook Messenger.

Now I have access to so many upscale spa options, it makes my… Continue reading Why I Love Vegas: The Spas

Why I Love Vegas: The Food
I’ve lived in Las Vegas for 16 years now, and I can safely say that I will never tire of the food scene here. Having been born and raised in North Carolina, I had my fair share of great meals (especially comfort food, particularly Carolina barbecue, specifically Eastern North Carolina barbecue, which is arguably the only barbecue),… Continue reading Why I Love Vegas: The Food
Leesville Needs Money?
So why is this a fund raiser and reunion, and not just a reunion? After all, when we attended school, Leesville had enormous resources. Well, time has marched on and things have changed.
