Las Vegas Sports are Back!

Time to Show Some Hometown Spirit!

After nearly 18 months of low-capacity and infrequent events, this fall brings live sports back to Las Vegas in full force. The headliner of fall sports here in Vegas is the Las Vegas Raiders. With a Week 1 33-27 OT win over the Baltimore Ravens, the "most hated team in football" is showing promise for their first season in Allegiant stadium with a live audience. Especially since the Baltimore Ravens Defense was touted as one of the best in the run-up to this season. If you missed a chance to see our home team play in-person at the new 70,000-person stadium, do not worry! The Raiders still have 8 home games left in the regular season, and you can find dates and ticket links below:

If going to an NFL game is not something that interests you, the fall also kicks off a slew of sports from UNLV. Tickets are available for the following teams this fall from UNLV: Men's Soccer, Women's Soccer, Women's Volleyball, and Football. The UNLV Rebel Football team play at Allegiant Stadium and thus these tickets can get expensive. The other sports are played at the UNLV campus and are thus cheaper. These tickets are more expensive at the door, but if tickets are ordered in advance or online, they are only $6. These games make for great family events, and are a nice way to get out and support Las Vegas without spending hundreds of dollars on NFL tickets. The links below will take you to the sport pages where you can see upcoming games and purchase tickets.

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!
