Downtown Las Vegas has boldly emerged out of the shadow of the domineering Las Vegas Strip.

What used to be a Las Vegas motel is now a tiny-house community of entrepreneurs—and their pets! Watch the video.

Ah, Las Vegas.

Downtown Terrace, Las Vegas’ popular rooftop restaurant featuring a flavor-forward, shareable menu and bird’s eye view of live music and entertainment located inside of the bustling Downtown Container Park, is introducing several new tantalizing selections to its menu, in addition to all-you-can-drink Bellinis, Bloody Marys, mimosas and house wine available 7 days a week, open to close.

If you’ve got that late-winter itch to deep-six your snow boots and head south for some sun, here’s a thought that may not occur to you, but should: Las Vegas.

Since it opened in August in the Fremont East Entertainment District, the 1970s-styled Corduroy has been a welcome return to the easy-access, straight-ahead night at the bar approach, moving away from the various hipster themes that have dominated Downtown drinking.

Big Ern’s BBQ started selling its barbecue at area farmer’s markets before smoking daily inside the Downtown Container Park and its second location at the Fiesta Rancho.

Today is Valentine’s Day, a time when many of us who have a sweetie think about sweets to make that sweetie even sweeter.

The nickname says it all.

Existing as much in the imagination as much as in the middle of the desert, Las Vegas is the ultimate projection of escapism.
