Month: September 2016

Whether you’re a rare born and raised Las Vegas native, lived here long enough to claim the title, or visit so often you think you should change your license, you know there are some perks to the tried and true ways when it comes to taking on the city like a local. Here is how to take on Las Vegas like it’s your city.

The number one thing you’ll hear from any local is, “I never go to The Strip”.  It’s funny to think since it’s the number one thing the city, quite honestly the state, is known for are those few miles on Las Vegas Boulevard.  But even just a few miles further there are some gems that natives take full advantage of. Local casinos have some amazing benefits that Strip properties simply can’t compete with, and all too often over looked perks that tourists don’t consider.

Locals have player’s cards. While having a local ID and the lay of the land is helpful, having a player’s card is the ultimate edge.  By showing your id and signing up, right out of the gate you will get perks for doing the things you would have done anyway. It doesn’t cost you a dime and you get more bang for your buck, win win.

Locals know the best happy hours around town.  If there’s anything the city isn’t lacking on, it’s locations to grab a drink at all hours. The best hour of course is happy hour. Knowing the lay of the land awards you the knowledge of all the best happy hours in town.

Locals have been spoiled compared to their neighbors in California when it comes to paying for parking, or lack thereof.  With the recent uproar of MGM properties now charging for parking, and locals determined to continue not paying a dime, they’re your best bet for the inside scoop where to park, or to admit defeat and just call a Lyft.

The whole community is a tad spoiled by having everything available to us 24/7. With that being said, much like happy hour, no matter what the hour, check with a local not only the best places to go but when to go. Late night specials, early bird specials, there’s a special for all times of the day, you just need to know when and where.

Just be sure that your pronounce Nevada correctly, or I wouldn’t take the advice they give you.

Fall means a lot of wonderful things. The changing of the seasons, pumpkin spice lattes, cooler temperatures, and the most important to fans, football is back making all right with the world once more.  But what is football without the beloved football traditions? The Steelers have their Terrible Towels; the Packers have their Cheeseheads, but something, other than the age honored tradition of tailgating, that every team can get behind, is that of game day drink specials.

We have four locations backing the home team with both food and drink specials available Thursdays, Sundays and Mondays during National Football League games.  They include Mermaid Restaurant & Lounge, Shady Grove Lounge, Flare Bar and Mi Casa Grill Cantina.

Drown your sorrows of weak defensive, crappy quarterback or whatever may be the case this season, or better yet, celebrate your undoubted victory with some fabulous deals on buckets of beer, shots, Jell-O shots and 50 cent wings! You may not end up at the Super Bowl, but you’re definitely winning.

The Chevy Camaro is celebrating 50 years, so we’re taking a moment to look through the review mirror at all the changes and fun facts about the American classic since the 1967 model went on sale on September 29, 1966. We encourage you to join along, share your fun facts, stories, photos of your Camaro or of the ones you pined for, so please join in on the conversation, no need to be a gear head, to celebrate 50 wonderful years of the Chevy Camaro,

• The first Camaro shared a chassis with the classic Chevy Nova
• In Development it was known within General Motors as “The Panther” before being branded as the iconic Camaro
• The base 1970 Camaro cost $2,749
• On June 28, 1966 Chevy Public Relations team held the largest teleconference to date, gathering media from 14 cities to make the announcement. Over 100 technicians from Bell were on hand to make sure that the call went through.
• No other car than the Camaro and Corvette has paced the Indianapolis 500 since 2004. The Camaro has paced 8 times, only rivaled by the Corvette who has paced 11 times.
• Dubai police have a z/28. Probably wouldn’t suggest trying to make a break for it
• I was rumored that the namesake of Camaro was a terrible disease that killed horses (cough, cough, the Camaro’s well know rival, the Mustang). While it was no secret that the Mustang just so happened to be the Camaro’s direct competitor, in fact, it was a name that was created specifically to fit the “C” naming system known to Chevy.

Help us celebrate by sharing photos of your own Camaro through the years with #CamaroFifty. Don’t have a Camaro? Maybe we can help you fix that. Please join us for your chance to win a 50^th Anniversary 2017 Camaro this September! Drive away a winner, and with a piece of classic car history.
