Crazy for Cookies

September 25, 2020


With the fall season creeping up on us we are about to enter the season of Halloween Candy, Thanksgiving Pies, and Holiday Cookie Christmas Parties. A tempting and sugary time for all of us that after a while may become repetitive with the same recipe over and over again. 

As a fun way to spice up the holiday goodies McKenna Property Management recommends Crumbl Cookies. A company that just recently celebrated their three-year anniversary and has now officially opened five locations in the Nevada area! 


The unique thing about Crumbl Cookies, and why it is perfect for the holidays, is that every week their menu changes. They sell six cookies, four completely picked at random, and two always staying the same (their classic chocolate chip, and pink icing sugar cookie). No one knows what the four cookies will be, and everyone is hoping it will be there favorite showing up. 


With four new cookies to try every week it is an amazing chance to get with a few friends, and vote on your favorite. It is also a perfect and reasonably priced desert treat to being to any work or family gathering. 


You can download their app on your phone to get weekly menu updates and their five locations in Vegas are: 

 

  • 4700 S. Maryland Pkwy
  • 8085 Blue Diamond
  • 6255 S. Durango
  • 2598 E. Craig
  • 5590 Painted Mirage

 


“I love the Confetti Cookie because it’s the best tasting cookie in the whole world”

Why Las Vegas HOA Fees May Be More Affordable Than You Think

September 15, 2025
What Do HOAs Do and Why They Matter Homeowners associations (HOAs) manage common areas, enforce neighborhood rules, and provide amenities like pools, clubhouses, and security. While they require monthly fees, benefits often include better-maintained neighborhoods, enhanced amenities, and stronger property values. In Las Vegas, HOA coverage is common and rising. According to Realtor.com® - by early 2025, 77.1% of listings had HOA fees , with a median of $118 , making Las Vegas one of the cities with the highest prevalence of HOA-managed homes—but still relatively affordable compared to places like Edwards, CO ($525) or North Port-Sarasota-Bradenton, FL ($310). This places Las Vegas seventh nationally for the prevalence of HOA-controlled listings. While the city has a high rate of HOA-managed properties, the $118 median monthly fee is comparatively low. HOA fees vary based on: Location & Amenities Home Type: Condos typically cost more than single-family homes. Rising Costs: Inflation and underfunded reserves can lead to sudden increases. Bottom Line: Understanding HOA fees in Las Vegas helps homebuyers budget effectively and avoid surprises. Despite the high prevalence of HOA-managed properties, Las Vegas remains more affordable than many other metro areas!  Source: Realtor.com, Homeowners Associations 2024

Las Vegas Ranked #9 for Diverse Food Scenes in the U.S.

September 8, 2025
When people think of food diversity in America, their minds usually go straight to New York City. But according to a recent study highlighted by the esteemed culinary school, Escoffier, the Big Apple doesn’t take the top spot. Instead, San Francisco claimed first place — praised for its bustling variety of cuisines and holding the title for the highest density of restaurants per capita among major U.S. cities. What’s even more exciting for us locals? Las Vegas earned the #9 spot on the list of the most diverse food cities in the country. Why Vegas Stands Out Las Vegas may be known worldwide for its neon lights and entertainment, but the dining scene is what keeps both tourists and residents hungry for more. From celebrity chef–driven restaurants on the Strip to hidden neighborhood gems serving authentic global flavors, Vegas has transformed into a true culinary destination. While seven of the top 10 cities named in the study were coastal (a trend Escoffier notes is tied to cultural diversity and a robust restaurant scene), Las Vegas proves that you don’t have to sit on the coast to experience world-class variety. Our city thrives on international influence — with dining options that range from Korean barbecue and Italian trattorias to Thai street food, upscale steakhouses, and plant-based fine dining. A Foodie Destination on the Rise Being ranked in the top 10 isn’t just a nod to the Strip’s luxury restaurants, but also to the everyday spots that locals love. With new eateries opening regularly, the Vegas dining scene continues to evolve and surprise. So, whether you’re a longtime resident or just visiting, Las Vegas offers something for every craving — proving once again that this city is more than just an entertainment capital. It’s a place where cultures, flavors, and creativity come together to make the dining experience as dynamic as the city itself.
