Santa Claus is Coming to Town AND your Computer Screen!

November 27, 2020


One of the greatest Christmas Traditions is the infamous picture with Santa. You never know if your kid is going to be scared, excited, or just downright uninterested, but it is still a memory every parent will look back on and appreciate. I am sure many parents are fearful that they may not have a picture during the year of 2020 because of COVID, but Christmas Miracles happen the entire month of December, and this year you have multiple places and ways to get your picture with Santa.


The first stop on Santa’s list is Bass Pro Shops where he will be until December 24th. All meeting times are by reservation only and on top of normal COVID protocols, they also have a “Magic Santa Shield” that allows for safety between Santa and the children.

Santa’s next stop is going to be the Galleria Mall where they offer both virtual meetings and in-person meetings. Until December 14th, it will be Thursday – Sundays from 12 p.m. – 6 p.m. Then starting December 15th, it is every day from 12 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. No reservations are required for the in-person visit.

Santa will also be available at Town Square until December 23rd with reservation-only visits with Santa. There are also going to be Snow Days in the Square Monday – Thursday from 7 p.m. – 8 p.m.

And finally, Santa’s last stop before he heads back to the North Pole will be at the Green Valley District where he will be available virtually through reservation only. Santa will be available here until December 24th from 12 p.m. – 6 p.m. Do be warned, there is a $25 fee associated with this visit.

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!
