Chinese New Year Celebrations in Las Vegas

(Producers Notes, Feb. 10, 2019)This week marks the start of the Lunar New Year in the Chinese calendar and Las Vegas celebrates in many ways. We head to the Las Vegas Strip to check out some of the displays and shows across the Blvd, all of which was free to enjoy. We stopped at the Bellagio, Form Shops at Caesars Palace, The Venetian, The Palazzo, and The Linq Promenade. I had a lot of fun learning about the Lunar New Year and seeing some traditional dancing. Thanks for coming along!

People vacation annually at spots like Lake Tahoe. My go-to-place is Death Valley. Logging 23 trips covering 122 days over the course of 31 years, I’ve barely scratched the surface of the 5,270 square mile national park.

Drinking is hardly a novelty in Vegas: you can drink pretty much anywhere, anytime. Choose between lavish lounges at casino-resorts on the Strip, hipster-friendly dive bars, Prohibition-style speakeasies, and vintage Tiki bars. In comparison to the city’s world-famous nightclub circuit, Vegas’ bar scene is relatively low-key, especially if you’re bar-hopping downtown.

How to Access the Rideshare Pickup Area at Las Vegas Airport | Uber/Lyft at McCarran

(Producers Notes) How to access the Rideshare Pickup at Las Vegas Airport. The common assumption for rideshare users would be to grab your bag from baggage claim, request your ride, then go outside and wait for your drive to arrive. At McCarran, there’s actually a designated area for rideshare users, but it’s in the parking garage. Here’s how to access the Rideshare pickup area:

1. Grab your bags
2. Head outside to the taxi area past carousel 7
3. Take the crosswalk all the way across to the parking garage elevators
4. Head up to level 2M (not level 2)
5. Wait for your driver to arrive, and tell you which row they’re at
