Best of Las Vegas 2011 Now Available
The 2011 edition of Best of Las Vegas is out this morning. Those of you who take the Sunday LVRJ already have a hard copy (and we will probably hold on to ours for a while). As usual, there’s stuff I disagree with, but overall it’s not a bad place to start exploring the city. [...]

Actually, even people who don’t have kids ask me about the school districts when they come from out of town! So here’s the Short version: And by way of follow-up, the Hard Rock was able to avoid foreclosure.
Now What Do I Do with the Christmas Tree?

I haven’t floated away!
I’ve been getting inquiries from out of state about the flooding that has been reported in the Vegas Valley.

The Washington Post isn’t the only place where people have noticed that despite the current economy, people are not in a position to just up and move to a new city in hopes of better opportunities: Many economists believe that a significant number of workers will have to move before the employment picture substantially improves.

New Rules for Pets
Clark County has proposed some big changes to the rules for pet owners. The new rules seem to be targeted at ensuring responsible pet ownership as well as cracking down on “puppy mills” and “crazy cat ladies.” The County Commission will be voting on these and other new rules later this month [Source: LVRJ]: Those [...]
Vegas Living Odds and Ends
Just a few little items for those of you in town. First, a “cash for appliances” program begins this coming Saturday. Let the state pay you up to $200 to upgrade your refrigerator, freezer, clothes washer, or dishwasher with a brand new energy efficient one! I’ve seen programs like this do very well in other [...]
