Welcome back to my personal journal of life in Las Vegas. Today, I’m taking an honest, calm look at the state of our city. There is a narrative that Vegas is dying, but the numbers tell a very different story. From the reality of hotel ADR (Average Daily Rates) to the incredible engineering ensuring we never run out of water, we are debunking the myths.

We also discuss the beautiful balance of nature and neon—from the scenic drive to the Valley of Fire to the high-energy arrival of F1 and the Neon City Festival.

In this episode, we cover:

The Price Myth: Why Las Vegas is NOT in the top 10 most expensive cities for dining or hotels (comparing state-to-state data).

The Water Reality: A deep dive into the Southern Nevada Water Authority, the Colorado River, and the Great Basin. Learn why Vegas could double in size and still have enough water.

Events & Culture: Thoughts on F1 and the free Downtown Neon City Festival (Nov 21-23).

Community Needs: Why we need more American Camp Association accredited programs for Las Vegas youth.

Hidden Gems: Taking the scenic drive to the Valley of Fire and finding deals that still exist.
