I was back in Vegas last month and did the Disney Immersive exhibit at the Lighthouse ArtSpace at The Shops at Crystals. It might surprise you to learn that my second favorite place to visit is Las Vegas. My wife and I are big Disney fans and she has no interest in Vegas, so my […]

Splurging in Vegas
I don’t know about you, but I built up a lot of unrequited Vegas energy during the pandemic. I also saved a lot of money by not paying for plane fares, hotel rooms, restaurant meals, shows tickets, drink tabs, Raiders seats, and gambling during the 2-1/2 years that COVID kept me away from the Promised […]
Landing Tickets to Raiders’ Home Games: T...
[Editor’s Note: As a follow-up to Dapper Dave Kamsler’s previous post about the Raiders game-day experience (or maybe as more of a prequel to that post), we asked Dave to provide some advice on how to score Raiders tickets in the first place.] The easiest — and also hardest — way to get tickets is […]
A Trip to Las Vegas for Raiders Game Day
[Editor’s Note: This post is written by Dapper Dave Kamsler, a Las Vegas and football aficionado extraordinaire.] One of my favorite times of year to come to Vegas has always been during football season. Coming from the East Coast, it’s so much fun to roll out of bed on Sunday mornings and have games start […]
Since You Asked — Two Worthwhile, but Little-Kn...
In this installment, I write about a couple of miscellaneous non-Strip activities that are fun, but maybe not big enough to warrant their own blog. The Nevada State Railway Museum in Boulder City is a branch of the Nevada State Museum. It’s about a half-hour drive from the Strip, about 15 minutes short of Hoover […]
Since You Asked—The Price Is Right
I’m a huge fan of “The Price Is Right.” In fact, I’ve traveled to California several times to try to get on the show. I got to see both Bob Barker and Drew Carey, but alas, I’ve never been picked to come on down. If you don’t want to go to California, or if you’re […]
Since You Asked — Hash House A Go Go
Continuing my theme of Las Vegas food institutions, this post pays homage to Hash House A Go Go. I’m sure many of you are familiar with it, whether it’s the location on the Strip (the Linq), downtown (the Plaza), off-Strip (the Rio or West Sahara Avenue), local (Summerlin or Henderson), or or one of the […]
Since You Asked — Thanksgiving between Two Piec...
Are you a friend of the TV show “Friends”? Have you always wanted to try Ross’ Thanksgiving leftover sandwich? Well, you can (sort of). If you don’t venture off the Strip much, you may not be familiar with legendary Vegas sub shop Capriotti’s. There are about a dozen locations across the Vegas Valley; the most […]
Since You Asked — A Few Good Museums
Who goes to Vegas to walk around museums? History fans (and nerds) like me, for one. I spend a lot of time in Las Vegas, so I have more freedom than most to do what interests me, which leads us first to the National Atomic Testing Museum, located on East Flamingo Road just past Paradise. […]
Since You Asked—Vegas Scavenger Hunts
Heading to Vegas soon and concerned that not everything you want to do will be open? Or are you trying to minimize your time indoors and looking for other outdoor activities now that pool season is winding down? Try a scavenger hunt! A scavenger hunt is a fun way to explore the city, see new […]
