There’s a lot to love about Las Vegas. It’s a city of shiny surfaces and deep complexity if you know where to look. This is a company town and a union town and it’s becoming a sports town, with controversy dogging each step. In Las Vegas, you can find yourself, reinvent yourself, or lose yourself if you’re not careful. Every day, you’ll hear from the team highlighting what makes this beautiful, complex city we call home just a little bit better. Get in touch with us at lasvegas@citycast.fm.

A hidden gem in Vegas:
West Wind Drive In Theater in North Las Vegas…bring something cold to drink in the summer!
Where I’d take you to eat in my city:
Rollin Smoke Barbeque and I’d order The “Outlaw” Burger.
The tourist trap in town that’s actually great:
The tourist attraction that's actually great:
The Bellagio fountains never get old, especially if you watch them from the sidewalk along Las Vegas Boulevard. They're free to view (and steps away from another free attraction, the Conservatory and Botanical Gardens).
Something we do best in Vegas:
The city has a knack for placing traffic cones in the most unnecessary places.
A Las Vegan you should know:
Gordon Prouty is the vice president of public relations at the Westgate Resort and Casino. You can't miss him. The silver fox is always dressed to the nines and an ambassador-at-large. My wife and I call him the "mayor" of Westgate, although he's not. (But he really is.)

Senior Account Executive
A Vegas hidden gem:
Downtown Cinemas (formerly Art Houz). They have big comfy reclining seats for viewing first-run movies while enjoying food and cocktails.
Where I'd take you to eat in Vegas:
Tied between Tacotarian for birria tacos and Esther's Kitchen for sourdough bread with olive oil. If we went to breakfast, I'd take you to EAT and get their oatmeal.
A Las Vegan you should know:
Kim Foster - she is a combination of food writer and a poverty warrior. She inspires people to be more compassionate and less judgemental.
