🫶 We got your back
Shopping: Ditch cookie-cutter malls. These secondhand spots are where real treasures hide. Henderson’s best-kept resale havens are stacked with everything from retro denim to quirky homewares. Time to hit the thrift trail.
Adventure: You haven’t really seen Nevada until you’ve chased tumbleweeds past ghost towns and Joshua trees to find tiny diamonds in the rough. These hidden gems prove there’s more to the Silver State than neon lights.
DIY: A basic set of wrenches, screwdrivers and pliers turns you into the household hero and ends those 11 PM calls to your neighbor for a leaky faucet fix. If you’ve got these tools, you’re ready for whatever your home throws at you.
Coffee: For those who believe coffee is less “morning fuel” and more “liquid art form,” Dark Moon Coffee Roasters has you covered. From single-origin beans roasted with nerdy precision to the kind of pour-overs that make drip coffee seem like a distant bad dream, this is where caffeine meets craftsmanship.
Hair: More than 50% of women experience hair thinning at some point in their lives. Whether it’s stress, aging, hormonal shifts, or genetics, there are more solutions than ever for boosting healthy hair growth. Take this free quiz to explore your options.

This week
🪄 Allstars of Magic @ V Theater | Tuesday (8/26) at 4:00pm – A rapid-fire showcase of jaw-droppers, from sharp-witted comedy and mind-reading to stage-filling illusions and up-close sleight-of-hand. Expect audience participation, gasp-worthy reveals, and family-friendly fun that’ll leave even skeptics whispering, “how did they do that?” Perfect pre-dinner wow on the Strip.
🚀 Fly LINQ Zipline @ The LINQ Promenade | Tuesday (8/26) – Trade your slot machine for a gravity check on The Strip’s only zipline, launching from a 12-story tower and screaming down 1,121 feet at up to 35 mph. It’s like flying over neon canyons, with sweaty palms, and bragging rights.
🤖 BattleBots Destruct-A-Thon @ BattleBots Arena Behind Horseshoe Las Vegas | Wednesday (8/27) at 6:00pm – If you’ve ever wondered where giants go to smash on the Strip, swing by Bil Dwyer’s BattleBots Destruct-A-Thon, daily robot coliseum. It’s equal parts gladiator arena, Rube Goldberg nightmare, and family-friendly circus, with fan favorites, rookie builds, and wildcard bots duking it out for cyberglory.
🎤 Frankly Frank: Sinatra Tribute Show @ Modern Showrooms at Alexis Park | Friday (8/29) at 7:00pm – If you’ve been craving that old-school Vegas charm, slide into Frankly Frank for a Sinatra tribute that feels like a smoke-filled lounge without the cigars. Ryan Baker nails every croon, from “My Way” classics to forgotten B-sides, and delivers retro fun without the side effects.
🕺 Double Whammys Groovy GoGo Party @ The Composers Room | Friday (8/29) at 7:00pm – Get ready to channel your inner Austin Powers at a no-cover, 60s-inspired bash where The Double Whammys serve up live grooves, go-go dancers strut, and DJ Snow spins the far-out beats. Bust out the fringe, grab a friend, and boogie.
This weekend
🧘 Art & Flow: Immersive Van Gogh Yoga @ Lighthouse Artspace | Saturday (8/30) at 10:00am – The new Van Gogh–themed yoga pop-up plants your mat in a sea of Starry Night projections and sunflowers instead of office cubicles. It’s part art exhibit, part stretching session, and all dipped in local charm. No awkward small talk, promise.
🥂 Drag Brunch @ Hamburger Mary’s | Saturday (8/30) at 12:00pm – Start your weekend with high-energy numbers, adult comedy, and outfits with more sparkle than the Strip. The queens work the whole room—stage to table—serving up top-hit lip-syncs while you sip and brunch. Celebrating a birthday, bachelorette, or just being fabulous? Let them know and expect extra love.
🏊 Pool Party @ Black Mountain Recreation Center | Saturday (8/30) at 6:30pm – Pool party at Black Mountain Recreation Center means pizza slices bobbing in the shallow end, grown-ups pretending their tan lines are accidental. Grab your trunks, dodge the occasional rogue belly flop, and swap neighborly gossip between slices for a lazy afternoon.
🎸 Raiding the Rock Vault @ Hard Rock Live | Saturday (8/30) at 8:00pm – Skip the glitzy Strip shows and hit Hard Rock Live for an all-live blast through classic rock anthems you pretend to know all the words to, from Zeppelin to Queen. It’s the most fun you’ll have without crowd-surfing, with legends delivering riffs live.

Sky-high above the city, this mega mansion serves up front-row seats to The Strip, the valley, and mountain sunsets. Stone finishes and custom millwork keep things classic, while pocketing doors in the living spaces blur the line between inside and out. The kitchen comes with all the high-end toys and a butler’s pantry, and every bedroom has its own en suite. The primary suite is basically a spa, with a double-sided shower, deep tub, dual toilets, and two walk-in closets that might need their own zip code.
The lower level is pure playtime with a movie theater, wine cellar and tasting room, wet bar with a tap, two-lane bowling alley, and space for billiards. Outside, the pool is massive, the patio is party-ready, and there’s a two-story casita for guests who overstay their welcome. Add an office, home gym, elevator, and views that don’t quit.
