What To Do This Weekend 8-1-14

Welcome to the first weekend in August. That means that summer is almost over & cooler temperatures will be returning. Not a lot going on this weekend, must be the dog days of summer. There is the First Friday activities going on downtown on Friday. With the heat & possible rain that's predicted this weekend it may be a good time to take in a movie at one of the many theaters. My wife & I went to see "Tammy" last weekend we thought it was great but not for younger children. Are you into antiques, we have some great shops here in the valley. A couple of our favorites are Antiques At The Market across from Sunset Park on Eastern & Charleston Antique Mall that is now on Decatur near Alta. Maybe a trip to the Pinball Hall of Fame over by Tropicana & Spencer or one of the many museums we have in the valley. We have Lied Discovery Children's Museum, Las Vegas Natural History Museum or how about the Mob Museum. What about going to Boulder City to the Nevada State Railroad Museum & taking their train ride. Go take a ride on the High Roller but check on Groupon before you go to see if there are discounted tickets. Take the kids to the Adventure Dome at Circus Circus. Mount Charleston will be cooler for a picnic or some hiking. What ever you do enjoy, be safe & have a great weekend.

What's Happening In The Valley This Weekend

It's going to be a hot one this weekend with a chance of some rain so it may be a good weekend to take in a show or go to one of the many theaters we have in the valley. Momma Mia is back in town at the Flamingo, the first show we went to after moving here over 6 years ago. Other show the my wife & I have seen & enjoyed are Rock of Ages, Terry Fator, Donny & Marie and Blue Man Group to name a few. If your going to one of the shows don't forget to ask for your locals discount or stop by one of the discount ticket places to get a better deal. If the rain doesn't show up a trip to Mount Charleston would cool you off. Maybe it time to visit one of our 2 water parks we have in the valley.

Well what ever you do this weekend have fun, be safe and try to stay cool.
