    January 12, 2020

    Wherever you’re staying, from the Palazzo to Mandalay Bay, from the Golden Nugget to M Resort, you’re never far from a Starbucks. This is great news, especially for those hitting the late-night High Roller rides or still recovering from a girl’s night out at Thunder From Down Under. But what if you’re looking for more than a perfunctory morning pick me up? Over the last four years, Las Vegas locals have enjoyed the single-origin roasting Mothership Coffee has perfected for their caffeine-laden libations. Now, that same high quality...continue reading here. Written for Best of Vegas Title Image from Pixabay

    Best of Vegas: Mama Rabbit Mezcal + Tequila Bar

    October 6, 2019

    For years, the frontier of Las Vegas dining was exclusively populated by enterprising male chefs. Border Grill at Mandalay Bay was one of the first women-led operations, helmed by Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger. Since then, restaurants such as Giada at The Cromwell and Chica at The Venetian have also made their mark. Now Bricia Lopez, of LA’s lauded Guelaguetza, brings a new concept to Park MGM with Mama Rabbit Mezcal +Tequila Bar. Lopez has long been heralded as a mezcal messiah of sorts, bringing this lesser-known Mexican agave-distilled alcohol to the masses. The niche beverage...read the rest here.

    Best of Vegas: When to Visit

    August 19, 2019

    There’s never a bad time to visit Las Vegas, a city that’s always on and ready. But, depending on what you’re looking to get out of your trip, some months are better than others. Las Vegas is home to nearly endless means of entertainment, but seasons possess different offerings, and visiting Vegas at the right time of year for festivals, pools, food, and shopping requires some research. Read on to find out the best time for your ideal Vegas vacation. For the Pools The City of Sin boasts some of the most elaborate pool-scapes and pool parties.

    Rooster Boy Cafe: Simply Sensational

    August 11, 2019

    The brunch game in Las Vegas is a crowded, competitive field. There are many a watered-down bottomless mimosas and tooth-ache inducing pancakes to navigate. That kind of thing can be fun occasionally, but often the flavor rewards of those brunches do not outweigh the empty calories and inevitable sugar crash two hours later. But who says we can’t have it all, a healthy, wholesome brunch that is also decadently delicious? Chef Sonia El-Nawal’s Rooster Boy Café is all those things and more. It may be a long trek for some, tucked in the Desert Shores community, three doors down from Las Vegas French dining institution Marché Bacchus, but let me…

    5 Romantic Old-School Vegas Restaurants

    February 11, 2019

    In a city that loves to discard the old and praise the new, it’s encouraging to see that some Las Vegas eateries have survived and thrived throughout the decades. Each of the restaurants on this list has seen culinary and design fads come and go, but they remain steadfast in their embrace of the classics. Here, the titles of ‘waiter’ and ‘bartender’ are not stop gaps but careers. Ramp up the romance of your Valentine’s Day evening with the charm of old-school Vegas at any of these locations.

    New in Town: D E Thai Kitchen

    December 30, 2018

    The Main Street area between Charleston Blvd and Imperial Ave has seen many changes. A revitalization (read: gentrification) is fully underway and has visibly transformed that part of Downtown. I have many thoughts and feelings about this, but that’s all for a different post. This post is all about one of the positive additions. D E Thai Kitchen has taken up residence in the former home of Rock’N’oodles (RIP). Intimate/Spacious The restaurant remains intimate, as it was before, with four tables and the ability to seat a maximum of 14 people. But the counter area has shifted giving the place a more open feel. On the walls, a cool grey…

    Best of Vegas: Top 5 Edible Souvenirs

    December 2, 2018

    While dispensaries are cropping up all over the Las Vegas valley, the types of edibles they sell should not be transported across state lines. Instead, bring home one of these five tasty treats. You can prolong your Vegas experience or share with those who were not lucky enough to visit along with you. Jojo’s Jerky, Jerky  Named for the establishment’s first taste-tester, a friend’s young son, Jojo’s Jerky has been plying Las Vegans with preservative-free jerky for fourteen years. In that time, owner Hans Hippert has expanded the selection from customer favorites such as Teriyaki Beef Jerky and Triple Threat Beef Jerky to include vegan, keto, and pet-friendly options.

    New in Town: Tacotarian

    October 4, 2018

    I stumbled on Tacotarian’s Instagram feed in July thanks to Vegans, Baby. The images they were posting heralded a magnificent addition to the vegan and Mexican food scene in Vegas. I was excited but chose to temper that excitement and wait until all the kinks of new restaurant-dom were worked out, before planning my visit. Now that Tacotarian has been open for over a month, I finally made my maiden excursion to this new eatery. When it comes to traditional Mexican color palettes, black white and aqua, is not what you would expect. But at Tacotarian they’ve managed to swirl the hipster, modern aesthetic with more classic, authentic elements to…

    What to See, Eat, and Buy: Guide to Container Park

    September 30, 2018

    Nestled in the heart of Downtown Las Vegas is an intimate, unique shopping experience. Container Park, named for the shipping containers that make up some of the structure, is an outdoor mall unlike all others in town. There are no hidden undergarments belonging to a woman named Victoria, no two-lettered Swedish fast fashion, and no blazing subject where Goths can buy a Jack Skellington hoodie. Instead, shoppers can delve into a world of small, local businesses offering wares from fun to funky and everything in between. What to See: The centerpiece of Container Park is the three-story Tree House and Play Zone. This interactive playground was made to entertain both…
