The best place for a drink on the rocks in Vegas
Las Vegas is a strange place. If I drive ten minutes west, I can be on the heart of the Strip, drink in hand. If I drive ten minutes east, I can be in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by gorgeous red rocks and desert. I often head out to Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area with my friend Amy…
Never neglect parking garage photography
Alex and I spent a half hour playing around on the roof of the Suncoast Casino parking garage, taking pictures. The roof has a great view of the Strip to the East and the mountains to the West. Of the dozens of photos I took, I only liked two!
The 5 people you can’t help but meet in Vegas
The Strip isn’t all glam and glitter; there are parts of the Vegas experience that are just simply maddening.

Food and Vegas are nearly synonymous with one another, but you don’t have to bankrupt yourself on the Strip to get a good meal.

My fav places in Vegas that totally kick ass
As we’ve lived here for over a year now, I suppose Alex and I are now ‘locals.’ I’m a Vegas local. It sounds kinda weird, but it feels kinda good. Over the last year, we’ve been dozens of new places, tried dozens of new things, and eaten from dozens of new menus. Here is my list of my favorite places that I go regularly in Vegas, and they all kick ass at what they do.
The Travelated Team Reunites in Las Vegas
By Rease Kirchner In case you didn’t already know this, there are 3 people on the Travelated team. It seems some people think that I am Travelated, others think it is only Emily and others are aware of both of us, but almost no one seems to be aware of Alex. Alex does not write [...]
Vegas vs. Reality
When you think of Las Vegas, you probably think of the over-the-top hotels and casinos that line the iconic Strip. If that’s not what you think of, just play along like it is.
