Mondays are a little less depressing when you know you’re going to #Vegas on Friday

It’s going to be a good week

This time next week, I’ll be debating where to grab a slice in Downtown #Vegas for lunch

I think Pizza Rock is my favorite but I do love Evel Pie and Popup Pizza too

Without the city of Las Vegas we may have never learned what Elvis viva'd and I think about that a lot

Came across this online. Somebody is trying to catalogue food venues on the #Vegas Strip

Not complete, but an interesting work in progress. Hope whoever is doing this keeps it up

It’s not Vegas without Santana. Wishing him a speedy recovery. 🎸
Carlos has postponed his Las Vegas residency at Mandalay Bay after breaking his left pinky in a fall near his Kauai home. He is expected to make a full recovery.

Should you go to #lasvegas or #biloxi on your next trip? They are both great cities, and they are very different. We break down who might enjoy a trip to Gulf Coast Vegas vs. the original.

If MGM adds a “seating fee” just so I can eat in an already overpriced #Vegas Strip restaurant, I guess that’s the nudge I need to pay for a Lyft and eat at local restaurants off the Strip

The downside of traveling to #Vegas is that some of the restaurants on your “gotta try it someday” list close. Julian Serrano Tapas is the latest on mind to close before I tried it.

Lol. John Oliver's show tonight (after 4 weeks on vacation) talks about how much news has happened, makes a few comments about Biden and then notes "the news is moving so fast that we're taping on Saturday, and who knows where things will be by the time you actually watch this."

Yup.
