The Raiders are Back at Allegiant Stadium!

Despite Roster Changes, Expectations are not High for the 23-24 Raiders

The 2023-24 NFL season has arrived, and we're excited to share the upcoming schedule for the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders, coming off a disappointing six-win season, face uncertainty with significant roster changes, including the departure of longtime quarterback Derek Carr. However, the arrival of experienced winner Jimmy Garoppolo brings hope, especially with head coach Josh McDaniels being familiar with Garoppolo from their stint together in New England. The entire offensive line is returning this season, which bodes well for the running game, and Raiders fans are eager for a fresh start under Garoppolo's leadership.


One of the biggest hurdles that the Raiders will face this season is their challenging schedule stands out. The AFC West division boasts strong teams like the Chiefs, Chargers, and an improved Broncos squad, making it a tough divisional battle. The Raiders' defense raises concerns, putting pressure on Garoppolo to excel in high-scoring games. To make an impact this year, the Raiders need to secure key divisional wins and set the tone early, starting with their opening game against Denver. With offensive weapons like Davante Adams and Hunter Renfrow, the Raiders are poised to compete, but facing formidable opponents like the Bills remains a challenge.


Looking ahead, a critical stretch of games against teams like the Steelers, Packers, Patriots, and Bears offers opportunities for victories, while matchups against the Lions, Giants, and Jets present confidence-building chances. However, a challenging stretch against the Dolphins, Chiefs, Vikings, and Chargers will test the Raiders' mettle. As they wrap up the season, facing the Chiefs on the road is daunting, but they have winnable games against the Colts and Broncos. While the schedule appears tough, optimism surrounds the new-look Raiders, who have potential wins within their grasp throughout the season. Even with some potential wins on their schedule, experts are only expecting a seven-win season, a marginal increase over their performance last year. Their full schedule can be found below, with home games bolded:

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!
