UNLV Volleyball is Back!

Get Out to Cox Pavillion to Support Your Lady Rebels This Fall!

As autumn approaches, the excitement of another season of UNLV Women's Volleyball is electric. With three games already under their belt, the defending Mountain West regular-season champions are gearing up for another thrilling season in 2023, and the preseason poll and awards from earlier in the month have only added to the anticipation.


In the league's preseason poll, UNLV garnered 92 points and secured three first-place votes, putting them in a tie for the top spot with Utah State, who also received 92 points and five first-place votes. Colorado State, with three first-place votes of their own, is predicted to finish third with 86 points. Meanwhile, New Mexico and San Diego State find themselves in a shared fourth place with 64 points. The rankings continue, with Boise State (59), Air Force (38), San Jose State (35), UNR (32), Wyoming (28), and Fresno State (15) occupying spots six through eleven, respectively.


Under the guidance of first-year head coach Malia Shoji, the Rebels are building on their impressive 26-win campaign in 2022, which culminated in another NCAA Tournament appearance. The prospect of the Lady Rebels clinching the #1 spot and winning the conference title would mark them as back-to-back regular season champions, adding to their legacy.


For those eager to support the team, tickets are available for just $6 per game when purchased more than 24 hours in advance, or $10 on game day. A fantastic opportunity for die-hard fans is the season ticket package, priced at a mere $50, granting access to all 13 home games. Additionally, discounts are available for seniors, faculty/staff, and active alumni, making it even more accessible to show your love for the team and the Lady Rebels.

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!
