A busy week ahead

Just some dates you might want to remember:

The "Untold Stories" History discussion series, Thursday September 6, 6:30 reception, 7pm discussion at the Springs Preserve. click here for the original post and PR release and bios of the panel participants.

LOPRO, the downtown "local professionals" mixer at the Downtown Cocktail Room is every Thursday evening from 4pm to 8pm. We'll be leaving early this week due to the untold stories history event that same evening.

First Friday, September 7, 6pm to 10pm. check in with The FIRST FRIDAY website for all the special events this month

The "Taste of Las Vegas" is Sunday, 9/9 click here to see the official promo piece

We're meeting with Vurb Magazine for the "neighborhoods map" project on Friday.

We're meeting with a "someone" who wants to rebuild the mid-mods as "green" energy efficient, earth friendly homes using as much recyclables as possible. For example, he tells me that there is carpet that's made entirely of recycled plastic. Looking forward to hearing more about that.

Our own favorite mortgage lender, new downtown resident and all around superman, STEVE CHRISTMAS, is also our favorite DJ. He's spinning Wednesday Night at RA SHUSHI in the Fashion Show Mall at midnite, but the whole event (open turntables) is from 10-2am. Great place to spot some new DJ talent.

And, of course, we're pumping out the marketing, showing homes to smart people who don't want to be saying in a few months "Damn, I missed the bottom".

We lit up the night on Fremont East

The BEST part of the night was the fact that it was predominately a LOCALS event. Everyone we spoke to from Vintage Vegas was astounded at how many other locals they ran into. Several thousand of us came out to revel and witness the lighting of the 2 arches and the 4 new neon signs down the middle of Fremont Street.

Streamline Condos, which over looks the Fremont East hosted a VIP cocktail party. The mayor and the city council made their speeches, and then there was NEON to light up the night.







Now, if lots of those people in attendance will come back another night, we'll see the newest attraction in Las Vegas really take off.

If you missed the party, come out to Fremont East any time and make your own party. There's lots of great venues, great music, terrific decor, and of course the NEON!
