🔥 This Week in Vegas

Good morning, Vegas! First of all, thank you for an amazing response so far. I’m genuinely so appreciative and grateful that this information has been entertaining and helpful to you, and you have taken time out of your day to give it a read. That’s huge, thank you.

If you haven’t yet, I also implore you to check out the Instagram. IG is a valuable reference point for businesses, and even though all the best info has been bundled up for you right here, whether or not a local business wants to give me the first whispers of new plans or exciting new-news depends largely on that special little number on the IG page.

So you give me a follow, and I’ll continue to do my best to make it 110% worth your while with exclusive news, fun reads, and helpful information. ❤️ Deal? Deal.

Now, let’s get into it. Lots to do and you know Vegas, it’s not gonna wait up:

🎧 A new bar built for bass, beats, and neon nights.
🕶️ Step into the underworld—no hitman skills required.
🎲 Roll the dice, shuffle the deck, and get your game face on.

Here’s what’s worth your time this weekend:
