Cirque Milestone

‘O’ celebrates 10th anniversary after thousands of performances.

Streets of New York

Norman Rockwell Lane, the address is, and to turn onto it from Farm Road is to step into a bit of Americana, or at least a faux version along the lines of Town Square or The District at Green Valley Ranch: trees filled with twinkling lights, a sort of village green with a statue (we couldn’t make it out in the darkness, but we’re assuming it was Norman himself), independently owned shops with upstairs offices or apartments, contemporary jazz coming from a speaker somewhere. It didn’t look much like the streets of New York, but Streets of New York fits right in.

Pirate battle celebrates anniversary

Five years ago, it seemed like directing a live show seen by more than 10 million people would be hard to top.

Readers spot English muffins

John Bergler is looking for not just any English muffin, but specifically for Bays English muffins. Luckily for him, his fellow readers say they’re not among those longed-for items that can’t be found in town.

Beatty Days features plenty of activities

Beatty annually celebrates its colorful history during Beatty Days, slated to coincide with the upcoming statewide three-day holiday for Nevada Day, Oct. 31-Nov. 2. The little town 115 miles from Las Vegas on U.S. 95 schedules family-style events and entertainment reminiscent of celebrations during Beatty’s early years more than a century ago.

The Straight Dope

Hey, man. It’s not just about the dope.

‘Raw Talent Live’

“Raw Talent Live” was created in a vacuum. And those who remember their middle-school science know what happens when vacuums are breached. If you don’t, go smash a light bulb or your middle-school thermos.

Louis’s Las Vegas

Louis’s Las Vegas has made a pimento-cheese believer out of me, and trust me, that’s a real feat.

Readers dish on hash browns

Two weeks ago we had reader suggestions for good breakfast spots for Brad Dunaway; today more weigh in with the shredded-potato hash browns Dunaway is seeking.

Las Vegas chef’s ‘Project’ chokes up viewers, participants

You may not guess it from looking at me, but I’m not that interested in food. Especially not on TV, where the Food Network seems to be all about cuisine this and fusion that. (For the record, the only cuisine I’ve eaten had the word “lean” in front of it, and the closest I get to fusion is ordering fries with my quesadilla at Del Taco.)

Nobody does a Nevada Day celebration like Carson City

Nevada celebrates 144 years of statehood on Oct. 31, turning Halloween into a three-day birthday party. Although Nevada Day events occur all over the state, no town commemorates the Silver State’s big day like Carson City. Nevada’s capital city schedules the largest parade and more auxiliary events than visitors can possibly cram into the busy weekend of Oct. 31-Nov. 2.
