I know my first holiday season sober was difficult, but these days it's something most of my … Continue reading Sober in Vegas: How to be a sober inclusive holiday host
Hey All! I've been working to compile a list of refreshing non-alcoholic beverages along The Strip, including grab-n-go, casual dining, and upscale restaurants.

Summer in Vegas is a few things. It's hot. It's long. It's when pretty much everyone is cranky.

Recently I have been inspired by some incredible work that Marnie Rae is doing. If you aren't familiar with her, she's a writer, instagrammer, and alcohol-free drink activist who views the 'soft-cocktail,' ie. an alcohol-free beverage crafted with fresh and flavorful ingredients such as simple syrup, fruit puree's, herbs and spices. She's been working with … Continue reading Sober in Vegas: Q & A with local Vegas bartender Bobby Franks
I love the Strip--any of you following along here know that even though I grew up here, I am still as enamored with Las Vegas Boulevard as any tourist is!

So here's the thing. If you live in Las Vegas, you're going to have visitors. And most of those visitors, if they've never been here before, are going to want to go into a casino.
