TAP Sports Bar: A Neighborhood Watering Hole on the Las Vegas Strip

Last month I attended the last 20 Book to 50K conference to be held in Las Vegas. Having attended the previous year, I knew more-or-less what to expect: a four-day whirlwind of information, innovation, and new faces, culminating in the RAVE book festival where I would once again sell my books. Given what was in

Coffee N Rock: I Heart the 90s All Over Again

I was a coffee house kid in high school. If you know me, that’s probably not much of a shock. I was as highly caffeinated then as I am now, plus a socially awkward academic and theater nerd, which meant I was about a thousand miles away from anyone who could get me a fake

Proper Eats Food Hall: Where No One Knows Your Name

Here’s one you’ve never heard: What do you call a food court that charges $20 for a sandwich? I’ll give you one guess. Okay, now that that’s out of the way…the price tag on Proper Eats Food Hall, though high, comes with a lot of benefits, especially for someone who has a computer, a playlist

Eureka! Midwest Taste with a Twist

Y’all know I’m obsessed with Las Vegas. In a good way. But that doesn’t mean I don’t occasionally long for my Midwest roots. The trees. The 100+ days of rain or snow every year. And above all, the food. Since I’m not a weather god and I believe in drought-resistant landscaping, getting those first two

Skinny Dugans: A Writer’s Paradise

There are two kinds of casinos. The first is the one everyone pictures when they think of Vegas: big and bright, with slot machines, table games, an attached hotel, a pool complex, and so on. The other one is what I like to call a “video poker hut.” These are the ones you see when

Knight Time at The Park

Before I launch into this, I want to give you some idea of my pedigree. I grew up in Minneapolis during an era of multiple (ultimately disappointing) Viking Super Bowl runs. I attended college two hours south of Green Bay the year that the Packers won their last Super Bowl. And I spent eight years

Culture Creativity at the Springs Cafe

Over the years, I’ve heard a lot of people complain about Las Vegas being a cultural wasteland. While gambling and spectacle tend to hog the spotlight, and we do run light on traditional cultural touchstones like art museums and theaters, I beg to differ (and FYI, I’m not the only one). But appreciating the culture

Carousel horses and neon lights that read Flight Club Las Vegas

Why Aren’t We Talking About Flight Club?

Back in November, there was a lot of talk about the new “social darts” club coming to The Venetian. It would be called Flight Club (ahahaha, puns are fun) and is an extension of a European chain of similar clubs. For those of us who enjoy our booze and snacks with a side of unique

Avocado toast and Sloth at the Nightmare Cafe

Nightmare Café, Food Like a Dream

I had been meaning to stop into Nightmare Café since they opened in the fall of 2022, but my schedule had been conspiring against me. Until last week, that is, when I was able to finally take a quick jump over to the Arts District and check out this intriguing and unique spot. Nightmare Café
