Entertainment from Another World

Vegas likes to experiment with the impossible every day. Acrobats in water, magicians on fire, animals on stage, and when everyone thought it couldn’t get more outrageous, AREA 15 opened their doors. AREA 15 is a new entertainment warehouse that just made its debut on September 17th, 2020, that offers FREE entrance, and then specific paid-for “experience exhibits.” According to their site, AREA 15 is, “the ultimate playground, a wondrous mash-up of funky bazaar, artisanal food hall, music venue, sculpture garden, immersive experiences, and community (un)commons, all rolled into one vibrant space.”


The main attraction of AREA 15 is obviously the colorful and crazy exhibits that they offer. Currently, there are 13 different experiences offered to visitors, with more planned and coming soon. Below you can find a full list of AREA15's exhibits and their taglines:


  • Meow Wolf's Omega Mart: Astonishing. Unpredictable. Mind-bending. (Tickets)
  • ElectroRoll: Skate. Rock. Radiate. (Tickets)
  • Museum Fiasco "Cluster" by Playmodes Studio: An immersive sound and light spectacle (Tickets)
  • Emporium: Part bar. Part arcade. Part event venue. All good times. (Tickets)
  • Oz Experience by Backlight: Forget everything you know about VR. (Tickets)
  • Wink World: Portals Into the Infinite: Psychedelic art house meets carnival funhouse. (Tickets)
  • Five Iron Golf: Find your balls. (Tickets)
  • Dueling Axes: Yes, it's a thing. And yes, you can do it here. (Tickets)
  • Gallerie 360: An immersive audio/visual exploration. (Tickets)

  • Particle Quest: an AR experience for seekers of all stripes. (Tickets)
  • Brainstorm: What's your story? The brain knows. (Tickets)
  • Birdly: A high-flying flight simulator to leave you soaring. (Tickets)


Not only does AREA 15 offer entertainment and unique experiences, but they also offer food, drink, and memorabilia. The Beast, a food hall run by world-renowned chef Todd English, is described as being "unlike any dining experience you've ever had." Todd English has personally curated all the food and flavor's presented in the belly of a dragon and he guarantees visitors that even the pickiest eaters will find something to get their mouth watering. AREA15 also has an ice cream shop called Emack & Bolio’s which specializes in strange but delicious deserts. This Boston-based ice cream company has become a global destination for anyone craving a frozen treat, going as far as to create a decadent flavored cone. If you’re looking for something a little more adult, AREA15 features Oddwood, an experienced advertised simply as "cocktails and conversation under the glow of a digital forest." Finally, for those with a sweet tooth, there is Rocket Fizz. Described as the antithesis to an old fashioned mom-and-pop candy store, it features spray-painted graffiti and the most outlandish and hilarious soda and candy flavors they could think of. 


If any of these exhibits or experiences sound enticing to you head to their website, https://area15.com, now to buy your tickets. AREA 15 may only be a few months old, but McKenna Property Management has a feeling it is going to become a staple for tourists and locals in Las Vegas.

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.

The Power of Gratitude in Building Strong Business Relationships

September 3, 2025
In business, one truth always stands out: no one succeeds alone. Whether you’re running a small business or managing a large organization, your success is built on the connections you make. And one of the simplest yet most impactful ways to strengthen those relationships is through gratitude. At McKenna Property Management, we’ve made gratitude a core part of our culture from the very beginning. Our owner and broker, Jenni McKenna, personally hand-delivers gifts to some of our VIP agents every single month . While it may sound like a small gesture, it makes a big difference. These thoughtful touches show our VIP Agents how much we value their trust in us, collaboration, and hard work. But it’s not just about the gifts. Gratitude comes in many forms—thank-you cards, handwritten notes, or even a quick phone call to say “we appreciate you.” What matters most is the consistency and authenticity behind the gesture. Over the years, these small acts of appreciation have helped us build trust, loyalty, and long-lasting relationships that go beyond a simple business transaction. By showing genuine appreciation, we’ve created strong bonds with clients and agents alike, and those connections have allowed McKenna Property Management to grow into what it is today. If you’re a business owner or professional, here’s our tip: make gratitude part of your business strategy. It doesn’t have to be extravagant—even the simplest “thank you” can strengthen relationships and open the door to new opportunities. At the end of the day, business isn’t just about numbers—it’s about people. And people remember how you make them feel. 💙

Planning a trip to Las Vegas? Whether it’s your first visit or your tenth, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by all the options.

Afternoon: Stroll through the Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardens , an ever-changing floral masterpiece perfect for photos (and a break from the casino floor). Each season the gardens transform into a different showcase of sights, sounds, scents and colors. The conservatory team changes out the design, and replant and repurpose as much of the living plant material as possible. Evening: Dinner at Din Tai Fung inside ARIA. If you’ve never tried their famous dumplings, you’re in for a treat — and yes, the chocolate xiao long bao is as good as it sounds. Night: Dance the night away at Omnia Nightclub in Caesars Palace, or if clubbing isn’t your thing, see one of the incredible Cirque du Soleil shows on the Strip!

Local Pro Tips Do not swim in the Beach Club pools — just trust us on this one. Avoid ATM fees in casinos by bringing cash ahead of time. Characters on the Strip aren’t free — they’ll ask for tips after photos. Don’t limit yourself to the Strip — Vegas has amazing off-Strip attractions. Escape rooms here are great! Try Escapology at Town Square or PanIQ Room at The Venetian. Bring comfortable walking shoes — distances on the Strip are deceiving. October is the best month for weather. Additional Show Recommendations: A Vegas Golden Knights Game A Raider’s Game ANYTHING at the Sphere (Postcards from Earth, The Backstreet Boys, Eagles, etc.) The Atomic Saloon Show inside the Venetian RuPaul’s Drag Race LIVE! At The Flamingo Las Vegas Exhibits/Museums to check out: The Bodies Exhibit The Titanic Exhibit The Neon Museum Madame Tussauds Mob Museum This 4-day plan mixes the best of the Strip with local treasures, so you’ll leave Vegas feeling like you’ve truly experienced it — not just skimmed the surface.
