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)

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.

Wagging Tails Rescue: Giving Hope to Homeless Dogs in Las Vegas

June 4, 2025
Nestled in the heart of Las Vegas, Wagging Tails Rescue is a dedicated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to saving homeless and abandoned dogs from high-kill shelters and owner surrenders. Unlike traditional shelters, Wagging Tails Rescue operates through a network of loving volunteers and foster homes, providing temporary safe havens for dogs — especially pregnant moms and orphaned puppies — until they find their forever families. With no physical facility, the rescue’s strength lies in its community of passionate foster caregivers who nurture these pups with love, care, and attention. Beyond rescuing dogs, Wagging Tails Rescue champions responsible pet ownership through education on spay/neuter, positive behavior training, and proper nutrition. Want to meet some of these adorable dogs and maybe even adopt? Keep an eye on their Instagram @waggingtailsrescuelv for updates on frequent adoption events. From fun puppy yoga sessions to gatherings at Petco and even “Puppies and Pints” at Lovelady Brewery, there are plenty of opportunities to support and connect with this amazing rescue. Every wagging tail tells a story — and at Wagging Tails Rescue, those stories always end with hope and a happy home.

Las Vegas Parking Guide

May 27, 2025
If you’re a first-time visitor to Las Vegas, the idea of paying for parking might not be as big of a deal as it is to those of us who’ve been around for a while. Just a few years ago, it was practically unheard of to pay for parking on The Strip. Free parking was a standard expectation for both locals and casino guests alike. But times have changed, and many of the big casinos along the iconic Las Vegas Strip have started charging for parking. While we’ll let you draw your own conclusions about whether or not parking fees are justified (locals, we feel your pain), we’re here to guide you on where to park on the Las Vegas Strip. So, buckle up, and check out our list to see where you can park for free as a local! First three hours of self-parking are free for locals: • The Aria • The Bellagio • Caesar’s Palace • The Cosmopolitan • The Cromwell • The Excalibur • The Flamingo • The LINQ • Luxor • The MGM & Park MGM • Planet Hollywood • Wynn & the Encore Free Parking across the board • Rio • The Palms As a final tip when it comes to visiting the strip: Check and see if the casino does any sort of parking validation. A lot of times they will give you free parking if you spend a certain amount of money inside, are a guest (on a staycation) or are a certain tier level among their rewards programs. Remember, it never hurts to ask. If you're visiting Las Vegas, be sure to check with your hotel about whether parking and valet services are included when you book your room. It's a cost worth factoring into your trip planning!
