The Delta Variant COVID continues to wreak havoc. For a hot second in May and June it looked like the U.S. might have turned a corner. Then the Delta variant started tearing through the unvaccinated population and break-through cases (though incredibly rare) began emerging for vaccinated folks. Hospitals started filling up, again, and now the… Continue reading A Note About COVID

When you think about Vegas, going to a museum probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. No, we’re far from D.C., New York, Chicago, and L.A. when it comes to traditional art and science museums. It’s not really our vibe. However, Las Vegas definitely has a storied history to tell as well as… Continue reading Why I Love Vegas: The Museums

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.

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

That’s a little less than 6 months out from the event weekend, but we’ll need that time to have an… Continue reading Act now! Time is running out!

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
