Nocturno Cocktail Bar Review & A Thought on the MGM Layoffs

I did a quick trip to Los Angeles, Pasadena to be exact. And I thought it would be a good way to talk about planning somewhat spontaneous trips and how best to experience a trip with minimal planning. 

This is a big boy episode. It's longer than usual but one of the most commonly asked questions is who should you tip and how much. The cool thing about Vegas is that it also can open some doors. You do have to be strategic but if done right this can enhance your Vegas experience in a big way. 

This episode might be a little inside baseball but I breakdown the different areas of Las Vegas and which places fit best for you if you're trying to move here. I also explain good places to visit off the strip if your looking for movie theaters, bowling or even Bingo. 

In this episode I react to the shooting and touch on safety on the Strip. I also get some help from a listener who messaged me on Instagram about some fun live music bars on the strip for her upcoming trip. I list a bunch of really good venues that I may have not highlighted in the past.

In this episode I dive into the differences between a vibe focused restaurant and a Foodie spot in Vegas. Many think that these are the same but in Vegas it actually is quite different and I explain the many differences between both in terms of pricing and experience.

I'm very excited to share this episode where I highlight the best hotels to visit during the day time and the ones to avoid. I explain the system that I came up with and what makes a good day time and a good night time hotel. 

I tried a new cocktail bar in the Arts District and think it might be the new great spot for anyone looking for elevated cocktails and small bites. Will it unseat Herbs & Rye as the best late night spot? I also offer my thoughts on the latest closing of multiple MGM property concierge desks.

In this episode I breakdown the experience that is EDC and what visitors should expect whether they are going to EDC at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway or just simply visiting during that weekend. This is a good overview of what to expect vibe wise and traffic wise along the Las Vegas Strip and Downtown. 

In this week's episode I brought back an old favorite. I preview a single hotel breaking down its restaurant, nightlife and hotel room offering and explain why I love it or hate it. Today I previewed the Aria Hotel & Casino and my opinion might surprise you. 

In this episode I dive into the essential items you need to bring for your Vegas trip. I Las olive into a few stories of dinners getting kicked out for not adhering to the dress code of the restaurants.
