Good morning, Vegas! It’s that time of year when the mornings are still calm, but the heat’s already waiting just outside the door. May always feels like a fuse—graduations, openings, farewells, and more events than you can handle. You start your week with iced coffee and errands, and suddenly it’s Friday night and someone’s handing you a spritz under a string of patio lights. That’s just how this city moves.
Whether you’re slowing down or leaning in, we’ve got something for both.
🍸 Wynn just dropped a seafood stunner.

A quiet local gem and the exact opposite of Strip chaos, Gilcrease is back for the season with early morning hours and rows of fresh-picked charm.

Atomic Museum: Late Night

We had one of the best dining experiences that we have had in Las Vegas this evening at The Mayfair Supper Club! Everything was perfect! The food was delicious; staff friendly and attentive; talented musicians, singers and dancers; wonderful mix and selection of music; and restaurant atmosphere was fabulous. This is what fine dining in Las Vegas should be. Definitely will return for another great experience!
Mikiya is one of my best meals here in Vegas. The quality of all the food is amazing and service was top notch. They serve 100% certified A5 Japanese Wagyu.
We got the gold package and every cut of meat along with the seafood platter melts in your mouth. I have to talk about their Gyoza....yes, I know, it's a weird thing to talk about when we are eating wagyu but it was airy and just delicious.
