My brothers have a love for the outdoors and what it takes to foster wanderlust in remote places: dirt bikes, four wheelers and four wheel drives. On a recent weekend, we went on an adventure in my brother Damon's old Suburban. We headed toward Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park in Arizona and hung a right to Kanab for a gas stop. Then on to the Johnson Canyon turnout where we swerved off the pavement and onto a dusty dirt road. The Suburban labored through deep sandy stretche

I just returned from visiting my daughter in Orlando. Similar to Las Vegas, both cities are popular travel destinations with unique attractions. One thing I do value about Las Vegas is actually the lack of a thing: humidity. This time of year is actually a great time to visit Orlando. It's not super humid and my hair wasn't too crazy, but it was on my mind when I stepped off the plane in both cities. Las Vegas is famous for its dry desert heat. Even when temperatures climb, t

My trip to the Baltic states began in Vilnius, Lithuania—just in time for the annual Vilnius Days Festival. The city was alive with music, art, and food stalls that lined the medieval cobblestone streets. Concerts took place on the main stage, and while I didn’t recognize the performers, the locals were thrilled to see their favorites. The weather was perfect and it felt like the entire city was out celebrating. Vilnius is known for its vibrant street and mural art scene. I h

In September, I was on a tour of the Baltic states. We started in Lithuania, drove to Latvia, then Estonia, and ended in Helsinki, Finland. Visiting Oodi, the Helsinki Central Library, was an exceptional experience. The Helsinki Central Library, Oodi, embodies the idea that a library is much more than a place to borrow books—it is a shared civic living room. Its philosophy is rooted in openness, accessibility, and equality. Oodi was designed as a welcoming space where people

Happy Halloween and Happy Nevada Day ! 🎃 The stars have truly aligned this year! School-aged kids across the state are celebrating the rare treat of Halloween and Nevada Day falling on the same date. Long-time Nevadans remember when this was the norm, but the newer generation hasn’t always been so lucky! Today, we get the best of both worlds: spooky fun and a chance to honor the place we call home. Whether you're out trick-or-treating, handing out candy, or simply toasting

Before I met my husband, I was like many other Las Vegans and avoided the Strip like the plague. Casinos were only good for catching a movie or maybe a round of bowling. Then Nick came into my life, and suddenly, casinos started feeling like a second home. I now know more about gambling, poker, and casino life than I ever thought possible.

 Nick was born and raised in Chicago, but Vegas has always been his happy place. He despises the cold and doesn’t miss snowy winters one

There’s a reason so many people say Disney does Halloween best. My daughter and I had the opportunity to visit Disneyland recently. It had been transformed into a fall fairy tale filled with pumpkins and festive decorations around every corner. It was the perfect blend of classic Disney magic and spooky fun. Limited-edition Halloween treats were everywhere: pumpkin-flavored goodies (Orange Stuff), “poisoned” caramel apples, caramel apple cold brews, themed churros, and spooky
