I drove down Paradise Road to visit a client this week, and memories started flooding back to when I first walked into the Las Vegas Hilton in 1972 (or was it 1974? – my photos are sadly undated) but let’s say the early 70s for now! We stood in a long, snake-like line for hours to get our prize possession—tickets to see Elvis perform at what was then called The Las Vegas Hilton.
I have followed J.S. Peck’s novel writing since reading Death on the Strip, Book 1 of her Death Card Series … and now I’m hooked! The fascinating thing about this is that I usually read non-fiction books, and Joan’s mystery novels are a genre I have never read.
Fleetwood's on Front Street is a multi-level building with a ton of action always going on. It has the only rooftop dining in Lahaina that overlooks the beautiful Maui mountains and ocean. The bartenders are helpful and friendly, and the food is delicious, too. They have incredible seafood and steak on the menu to choose from and always a fresh catch of the day to offer.
Late one night several years ago, while traveling with my husband Curtis, I stumbled on a late-night TV interview with Santana where the show’s host did a great interview with him. I don’t remember what city we were in, the hotel, or even who did the interview, but I still remember some of Carlos’s comments and how they connected with me at a core level. In the interview, he was describing spirituality almost exactly like I speak of it.
It was another delightful turnout for the new exhibit at Savidan Gallery in downtown Las Vegas currently featuring the art of Erik Beehn, an artist and educator working out of Las Vegas.
It was a beautiful spring afternoon in Symphony Park for an art show and live music performances. The City of Las Vegas hosted this event featuring various artists, craftspeople, and performers from across the valley. Even though we got there later in the afternoon, plenty was going on for the few hours before the show ended.
What can I say about the first quarter of 2022 that would even describe what has transpired in this ever tumultuous world we all live in these days. So much drama comes to mind, and it is all too surreal to capture in a few short paragraphs. Unless you live in a cave, you know exactly what I am referring to.
Roxy Jones is a talented 15-year-old musician who has been studying piano since she was four. Roxy has won the Forgotten Song Foundation scholarship more than once. My husband, Curtis, and I were thrilled to represent the foundation that evening and were honored to attend the Henderson Symphony Orchestra in February 2022 to watch her perform Chopin's Concerto No. 1 in e minor, in its entirety.
If you are looking for some top notch entertainment, great food, outstanding service, and one of the best Espresso Martini’s you ever had, you are going to love Gatsby’s.
Did you ever start a project that was a deeply buried dream of yours only to find it take on a life of its own once set in motion? Well, that is what this story of hope is all about.
