Super Duper Las Vegas 👩‍👦 Mother’s Day Brunches And Other Fun Things to Do Sunday

May 7, 2019 by Beth Ellyn Rosenthal

Happy Mother’s Day, mothers everywhere.

Me with my son Austin

Sunday is our day. When the world HAS to acknowledge what a great job we are doing at the world’s hardest job. Yes, parents are the world’s super heroes! So there!

Time-honored tradition is to take Mom out to brunch. Me, I hate waiting in line, so it’s not my idea of fun. My idea of a great Mother’s Day gift is for you to clean my house. (But I digress.) So here are my suggestions for a great Mother’s Day here in Las Vegas.

Happy Mother’s Day

Shows

So I think the best idea is to buy a ticket to Freddie B’s “A Mothers Day Extravaganza” at Ron DeCar’s Event Center. It’s a show appropriate for the whole family. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧

Freddie B is a baritone who croons jazz and blues classics. My friend Cindy Lange invited her mother and me to this show a few years ago and it was awesome. Marsha Warfield is the guest star. And there’s a prize for the prettiest Mother’s Day hat. Anyone, can I borrow a hat?

Doors open at 5:30. Show time is at 7. Tickets start at $25.

1201 South Las Vegas Boulevard Las Vegas

Beat the crowd. Eat early!

Mimi’s Cafe

Well, if you want to share a meal with Mom AND want to avoid the crowds, start early! Mimi’s opens at 7 am for Mother’s Day. I live for their luscious, delicious, fattening, heavenly, delicious, fattening muffins the size of Texas. Your mom deserves one!

If you wait unit 11, Mimi’s is offering a three-course meal for $20.

Brunch Options All Over Town

Nora’s Italian Cuisine 🍝

Yummy cheesy pizza

The neighborhood trattoria typically opens at 4 on Sundays. But this Sunday the doors open at 2. My faves at Noras are the calamari fritti–crispy outsides with juicy, juicy not chewy calarami inside–served with just lemon juice. You don’t need no sauce because these babies are so flavorful. Also try the veal chop parmigiana; Nora’s serves it on the bone so it look like it has it’s own handle.

And yes, the pizzas are awesome. Since I can’t eat tomato sauce any more (because of my vocal chord damage), I can still eat pizza there because they have a delicious one called snow white.

5780 West Flamingo Las Vegas

Fleming’s 🥩

My loyal readers know this is one of my favorite restaurants in Las Vegas. Yes, it’s spendy. But the food is way worth it. Even the vegetables are divine, says the committed carnivore.

Brunch for one starts at $48. The three-course meal is anchored by Fleming’s steak and spring vegetable quiche. It’s studded with carmelized onions, herbed goat cheese and tomato hollandaise. And the full dinner menu is available all day.

6515 South Las Vegas Boulevard Las Vegas

Freedom Beat 🐟

The funky eatery at the Downtown Grand serves gourmet food, thanks to the stewardship of Chef Scott Cummings. The restaurant is featuring a three-course Mother’s Day special for $35 per person. Choices: Cream of mushroom soup or roasted beet salad for starters; 8 ounce New York steak with grilled shrimp or pan seared halibut for the main. I’d have to have both desserts because the choices are tiramisu or chocolate cake with mixed berry sauce. I’ll take both..IV!

The menu at Freedom Beat

And here’s what I love about this restaurant. Park in the hotel’s garage across the street and the restaurant will validate the parking. FREE parking! A casino that actually cares about it’s customers. Who would have thunk it?

206 N. 3rd Street. Downtown

The Italian American Club 🍝

Mamma Mia!

Delicioso pasta

The Rat Pack actually did eat here. Step into the dining room and you will be looking around for Don Draper. But the authentic Italian food is actually really tasty and not outrageously expensive.

The dining room will be serving food from 3 to 9. Then stay for the lounge shows from 6 to 11. Great vocalists serenade the diners.

2233 East Sahara Las Vegas

Honey Salt 🌆

Owner Elizabeth Blau is a mother herself. The food is inventive. Try to get a seat on the patio. It’s glorious at night as you look up at the stars. And if you forgot to buy mom a gift, you can buy sunflower bouquets at the restaurant for just $9.

1031 South Rampart Boulevard Las Vegas Summerlin

FREE FREE FREE (my favorite four-letter word)

Miller’s Ale House 🍷

Bar food elevated to gourmet fare…at bar food prices. I love Miller’s! Surprisingly, this restaurant serves some of the best lobster in town. Who knew?

Plus this is a great restaurant if Mom is into sports.

Both the Miller’s in Las Vegas and the one in Henderson are treating mom to a glass of wine or sangria with her meal. But there’s more! All moms will receive a $10 off $30 offer to use on their next visit!

In both Las Vegas and Henderson

Pasta Shop Ristorante & Art Gallery 🍝

Yummy free cannolis for mom. The founder of this family-owned restaurant actually cooked for the Rat Pack, so the recipes are a mix of 1950 seasoned with a dash of 2019.

A single cannolo (Cannoli is plural!)

Here’s the best part: The FREE cannolis happen on Saturday too. So you can celebrate BEFORE the crowds appear on Sunday!

2525 West Horizon Ridge Parkway Henderson

Have a GREAT Mother’s Day, Las Vegas.

The Seven BEST Easter Egg Hunts In Las Vegas and Four Are FREE

April 19, 2019 by Beth Ellyn Rosenthal

One of my favorite things about Easter, raised Jewish, is the annual Easter egg hunt. I just love Easter egg hunts.

As a single mother, I took my son to a hunt every year until he thought searching for interesting women was much more fun.

I love Easter Egg hunts

Existential question: Why isn’t there an Easter egg hunt for adults? I would soooo be there.

Here are seven kewl places to hunt for those eggs right here in Las Vegas.

Downtown Summerlin (Summerlin)

The Golden Easter Egg Hunt happens tomorrow, Saturday, at 1 pm. You are searching for golden eggs through the center from Dillard’s to Crate & Barrel. The lucky person who finds the big golden egg wins a family four-pack to “Roald Dahl’s Charlie and The Chocolate Factory” at the Smith Center. (The play is part of the Broadway Las Vegas series.)

But there will be a lot of winners. Prizes include candy, gift cards, swag, a Google Home Mini, a Fitbit Alta and a Instax 9 Mini Instant Camera. Trade the eggs you find for these goodies at the Concierge Tent located in the Macy’s Promenade.

This hunt is FREE.

Little kids love Easter egg hunts. Moi aussi!

Tivoli Village (Summerlin)

The open-air shopping center hosts its fifth annual Hop and Bop Easter Egg Hunt and Festival tomorrow from 11-3. Sunshine Nevada hosts this event for special needs children and their families. There will be an Easter egg hunt for the special needs kids and their siblings. The Easter bunny will be there too. There will be music and dancing and a bungee jump.

Please register in advance for this one.

Cost: FREE.

Whitney Ranch Recreation Center (Henderson)

Gorgeous Easter eggs

The sixth annual Spring Carnival & Hippity-Hop Egg Hunt starts tomorrow from 9 -1. Everyone who wants to participate has to register by 9:30 to pick up your wristband.

The egg hunt goes off in tranches based on age:

10. Kids one to three.
10:45. Kids four to seven
11:30. Kids eight to 10

The Spring Carnival includes a bounce house.

This hunt costs $6 per child.

Heritage Park Aquatic Complex (Henderson)

An aquatic Easter egg hunt!

An aquatic Easter egg hunt. Who knew? Hundreds of Easter eggs sit at the bottom of the pool. Children compete against kids their age to gather the eggs for prizes. You must bring your own basket.

The event goes from 2-5 tomorrow. The egg dives start at 3.

In addition, there will be open swimming plus arts and crafts for the kids.

Cost: $5 per child.

Bass Pro Shops (Las Vegas)

The festivities here happen all week-end, starting today, including a FREE 4 x 6 photo with the Easter bunny. This being the digital age, the photographer will send you an Easter email greeting card with your photo. Just forward to your favorite friends and family members.

But the Easter egg hunt happens tomorrow from 2-3 for kids 2-10. After the kids find five eggs throughout the store, they can trade the eggs for candy at the Registration desk. Sponsored by your local dentist. (Just kidding.)

Cost: FREE

Town Square (Las Vegas)

Town Square’s Easter egg hunt

Radio station Mix 94.1 hosts Town Square’s Easter festivities, called Hop and Shop.

There are both morning and afternoon Easter egg hunts. Register for the morning hunt at 8 and the afternoon hunt at noon. You have to be 1-10 to actually hunt. Please bring your own container.

The festival goes from 10-5.

Cost: FREE

St. Jude’s Ranch for Children (Boulder City)

The Boulder City charity hosts a morning full of fun. There’s an Easter Egg hunt from 10 to noon. There will be interactive games. And you can take a photo with the Easter bunny.

Cost: $1o per child. This includes a hot dog, chips and a drink. Plus ALL the money goes to the charity. You gotta love that.

Who Wants To Do NAKED Yoga with Me 💪???

April 9, 2019 by Beth Ellyn Rosenthal

Here in Las Vegas you can take a yoga class in a High Roller cabin, practice at the Hofbrau Haus and have a beer afterward, or just hold tabletop position so baby goats can play on you. 🧘

Me and the goats at goat yoga

If you have good balance, you can do yoga on a paddle board at Lake Las Vegas. That’s if you are bored taking your mat to the gym or your yoga studio.

Obviously NOT me. But I can touch my toes! This is the instructor Miss Monika

I just discovered a new yoga class. It’s called “The Art of Naked Yoga.” That’s right. Down dog with NO clothes in front of everybody! 🧘 NO way!

But the yogi who teaches it, Miss Monika, says she developed the series so yogis can “reconnect with themselves in an open way.” She adds, “removing your clothes in your practice is a liberating experience.” She notes “it can be unnerving at first.” (Editorial comment: No s$#%t. )

Now she is talking to me: She says people view nakedness “with fear, shame and other limiting self-perceptions. This practice is geared to bring you to a place of pride, respect, honor, openness and acceptance.” Well, I’m up for that because,well, I won’t even get into a bathing suit in Aruba, where no one knows me! 🧘‍♂️

You have to be 21 to take the class

I had an unusual yoga experience that “opened” me up to trying the Art of Naked Yoga. When I turned 60, I treated myself to a Groupon. $20 bought me two sessions at Las Vegas Stripper Poles. I showed up to the first class and discovered I don’t have the upper body strength to pull my bottom-heavy body up the pole. (I guess I will have to keep my day job as a Realtor.)

The instructor approached me after the class and asked if I did yoga. She said every Friday night she teaches a yoga class for strippers to limber them up before they go to work. She invited me to this yoga class as my second session.

It turned out to be the BEST yoga class ever. She touched you everywhere, even massaged your feet during Shevashana. Nothing sexual but definitely…soulful. Ah-ma-zing. 🧘‍♀️

So that’s why I am open to trying this class. The naked yoga practice happens every Thursday at 7 pm. Cost is $20 for men and just $10 for women.

So who wants to join me? PM and we will go!

Woof Walk: Enjoy the Las Vegas Wetlands With Your Dog

February 22, 2019 by Beth Ellyn Rosenthal

Want to kill two birds with one stone? You can learn about the hundreds of creatures that live in Clark County’s Wetlands Park Nature Preserve. And you can take your dog on this guided tour! It’s called the Woof Walk.

This is the Wells Trail, home of the Woof Walk
Photo by Valentin Alvarez

Bensley, my Labradoodle, told he he wants to learn all about those animals from the docent. He says he can’t wait to pee all over the desert scrub until we get to the hilltop viewing area. Bensley is a big fan of rushing water. And he says he doesn’t care that we can marvel at the jet liner view of the Las Vegas Strip from up there.

Bensley always carries his own water when we hike

Want to join us, Las Vegas dog owners? Then show up at the Wells Trailhead at 10 am. The Woof Walk usually lasts two hours. Plan to walk at least two miles.

You do have to sign up. Go to www.ccwetlandspark.com.

Oh, and you can bring your kids too.

P.S. The Wells Trailhead is off Galleria Drive.

Beth Ellyn’s Fantastic Las Vegas Valentine’s Day Adventures

February 6, 2019 by Beth Ellyn Rosenthal

Valentine’s Day is just a week away. Here are 14 of the kewl-est things to do in Las Vegas, from the ridiculous to the romantic (since 14 is the romantic number!)

Happy Valentine’s Day
BETH Ellyn Rosenthal, eXp Realty

If you prefer a cozy neighborhood restaurant

Nothing beats a romantic little hideaway close to home. My three favorites are:

Always eat dessert first.
Beth Ellyn Rosenthal, eXp Realty

Ohlala French Bistro (Summerlin). This authentic French restaurant seasons all its food with charm. It’s the closest thing to France in all Las Vegas and that includes that Eiffel Tower on the Strip. The meals are reasonably priced. The restaurant is having a three-course prix fixe Valentine’s Day menu for $60 a person. (Hey, it includes filet mignon or lobster and crab gratin.)
Pasta Shop Ristorante (Henderson). This charmer is run by the family of Frank Sinatra’s personal chef. First timers get a FREE package of homemade pasta noodles, although I don’t know if this will happen on Valentine’s Day. I severely overcooked ’em since I had never cooked fresh pasta before, but I digress. The restaurant invites local artists to exhibit their wares on the wall, so you will have plenty to talk about. And yes, the food is de-lish.
Esther’s Kitchen (Downtown arts district.) The food at this restaurant oozes with flavor. Portions are generous and the food is reasonably priced. You order at the cashier after you grab a table. I vote for the polenta.

If money is tight

Italian deliciousness
Beth Ellyn Rosenthal, eXp Realty

Carrabba’s Italian Grill (Summerlin and Henderson). The restaurant with the garden on top is offering a four-course meal for two for just $45. And if you have to work next Thursday, Carrabba’s is offering its Valentine’s Day menu now through February 17. Why should being romantic be limited to just one day?
Pasta Cucina (Boulder Station). This casino restaurant dishes up tasty, tasty Italian fare for tasty prices. I’ve had some of the best spaghetti and meatballs in the city here.The spaghet comes with a crisp salad; don’t miss the house dressing.
Ethel M’s (Henderson). Skip dinner and jump straight to dessert. The chocolate factory has premium chocolate tastings five times on Valentine’s Day, starting at 10 am and ending at 6 pm. The cost is just $15. You’ve got to get there 15 minutes before the tour to sign up. If you want to taste chocolate with wine, these tastings re $25 per person and start at 11 am with the last one at 7 pm. Or just buy the bon bons with booze: The Remy Martin XO cognac truffles the best. Or stroll through the lighted cactus garden holding hands, FREE!
The Bellagio Conservatory’s Lunar New Year Exhibit. (Bellagio) All you will have to pay for is parking! I love the red hanging lanterns but seriously the family of pigs (it is the year of the pig, natch) are just too adorable.
Billboards. Got $10? You can tell your love you love ’em by posting it on a Adomni billboard. It will flash five times during Valentine’s Day. You can pick the time so you too can watch the billboard from your car and post it on Instagram. My favorite billboard is at Las Vegas Boulevard and Sahara.

If money is no issue…because it’s Valentine’s Day

Who doesn’t love fancy chocolates?
Beth Ellyn Rosenthal, eXp Realty

L’Atelier du Joel Robuchon (MGM Grand). Of course the pricey restaurants are on the Strip. The French call Joel Robuchon “the chef of the century.” I’d have to agree. His main eatery next door is sooo expensive most of us would have to dip into our 401 (k)s. But the restaurant next door is actually affordable. The best place to sit is not at the tables but at the counter. It’s like a French version of a sushi restaurant. You just order small plates and watch the master prepare it before your eyes. My favorite expensive restaurant in Las Vegas.

If you forgot to buy them a gift

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. BETH Ellyn Rosenthal, eXp Realty

Fleming’s (Town Square). The restaurant’s wine, dine and sparkle Valentine’s Day event is back. It includes a three-course dinner, a bottle of premium champagne and a “luxury gift” from Fifth Avenue Jewelers. This $350 dinner includes a silver open-heart pendant necklace or silver collar stays (in case you were curious.) (The top tier will set you back $1,000. with better jewelry) I think this is one of the best steak houses in Las Vegas, even if the Outback people (aka Bloomin’ Brands) own it. (They own Carrabba’s and Bonefish Grill too.) This special will also be available through February 18.

If you want to do lunch

Lunch! BETH Ellyn Rosenthal, eXp Realty

The Stove (Henderson). This is Chef Scott Cumming’s day time restaurant. The food is inventive, fun and all-out ah-ma-zing. I don’t eat cinnamon rolls because to me they are sickeningly sweet. Not here. The dough pulls apart with a spring in its step. The wait staff pours the icing over the bun so there’s drama too! A gift from heaven. And the egg combos are crazy. The restaurant closes at 3.

If you want to see a performance

The creators of Marriage Can Be Murder
Beth Ellyn Rosenthal, eXp Realty

Ron deCar’s Event Center (Downtown). E.C. Adams, who has a voice like crushed velvet, sings sensual songs for the annual Valentine’s Day show. The showroom is a compact space so you feel like you can reach out and touch the performer. There’s a cozy dance floor and E.C. gets ’em dancing. Doors open at 5 and the show starts at 6:30. Or wait until Friday for Valen-TEASE, a show staged by the Burlesque Hall of Fame. (The proceeds actually benefit the Burlesque Hall of Fame, which is a very starched 501 (c)(3) non-profit.) Ron says the show will feature “the best burlesque Las Vegas has to offer.” Sounds like the perfect Valentine’s Day treat.
Marriage Can Be Murder. (D Las Vegas). In addition to dinner, you can actually be in the play! Written by an actual husband and wife (so they know what’s really up!), the play has its cast seated (secretly) at your table. You have to figure out who is the actual murder, without help from any DNA data bank. Fun and funny!
The Space (Southwest) In the main show room: The Vagina Monologues. Need I say more?

Have a GREAT Valentine’s Day, Las Vegas!

Unleash Your Inner Freddie Mercury in Las Vegas….FREE!

February 4, 2019 by Beth Ellyn Rosenthal

Here are two ways to enjoy the late, great Freddie Mercury today and tomorrow in Las Vegas. 🎤

The music of Queen is having a renaissance thanks to Rami Malek‘s Oscar buzz in the movie Bohemian Rhapsody. But the music stands alone as…well…epic! I am ga ga over the music and it doesn’t have to be on the radio!

Freddie Mercury, Beth Ellyn Rosenthal, eXp Realty Photo by Chris Bailey

Want to sing Queen songs in front of an audience? Then get on the “Rock Like Queen” bus. The double-decker vehicle will have a DJ playing Freddie Mercury’s greatest hits. You can sing your heart out for 30 minutes to an audience of fellow Queen fanatics.

It may be too cold tomorrow to prance around in a sleeveless T-shirt like the master, but that won’t stop the fun. 🙃

The bus stop for this magical Mercury tour is at Fremont and Sixth Streets. Every half hour from 10 am to 5:35 pm Tuesday.🚍

I did say this was FREE, right? The film’s producers are paying for the bus to promote the fact the movie is now out on video.

Now you know how to hold out your arms as you sing on the bus. BETH Ellyn Rosenthal, eXp Realty Photo by big-ashb

Tonight Monday’s Dark theme is the music of Queen. Monday’s Dark is one of the reasons I really love Las Vegas. Founder Mark Shunook, who also works for our beloved Vegas Golden Knights, invites local Las Vegas Strip luminaries to sing songs of their choosing based on a theme. 🎙️

The entrance fee is $20. One hundred percent of that money goes to a highlighted charity. Tonight’s charity is the Chrohns Colitis Foundation. The event raises $10,000 for the charity in 90 minutes. Gotta love it.

Monday’s Dark logo. Beth Ellyn Rosenthal, eXp Realty

I doubt Wayne Newton will show up to sing Bohemian Rhapsody. But I’m sure Mark found someone…epic…to hit the high notes! They will indeed rock you!

Always something kewl to do in Las Vegas.

Why The Super Bowl Props Bets Are Soooo Fun

January 31, 2019 by Beth Ellyn Rosenthal

The Props bets make the Super Bowl in Las Vegas sooo much fun. After the commercials, that is!

What are Props bets? And why are they so fun?

Each casino puts out a props package of all the specialized bets consumers can make on the big game. They are weird, unusual and unusually detailed. You can bet on anything!

Patriots image by Bryan Wright. Beth Ellyn Rosenthal, eXp Realty

Here is a sample of props bets from Station Casinos.

First scoring play of the game
Last scoring play of the game
Who will make the first touchdown for each team
Player to score the first touchdown of the game
The first turnover of the game will be an interception or a fumble
Will there be at least one defensive or special teams touchdown?
Tom Brady’s first pass attempt will be complete/incomplete
Jersey number of player to score the first touchdown

The Rams! Beth Ellyn Rosenthal, eXp Realty

Our beloved Vegas Golden Knights are playing Sunday night too. So there are cross-sports Prop bets too. Like:

Marc Andre Fleury saves versus total interceptions in the game

Las Vegas locals love Props bets because they can produce big money. Supposedly the most lucrative Props bet was that William “Refrigerator” Perry would score a touchdown in Super Bowl XX. And he did! How would have thunk it?

My favorite Props bet is always is predicting who will win the 2020 Super Bowl. I always root for the team at the very bottom all season. Hey, someone’s got to do it! This might change when the Raiders arrive…

This year it is the Miami Dolphins. They have a 200-to-1 chance of winning the 2020 Super Bowl as of today.

Have a great Super Bowl week-end, Las Vegas.

((hugs)) BETH Ellyn

P.S. Email/text if you want a copy of the entire Props package.

It’s Chilly Out There..And I’m Talkin’ About Henderson Real Estate

January 9, 2017 by Beth Ellyn Rosenthal

Had to turn up the heat this week-end because baby, it was cold outside, to quote Dean Martin. But the thermometer is also falling on Henderson real estate. Baby, I can feel it.

As close as last October, homes that were priced fairly ($135-$160 per square foot) were always under contract in 30 days or less. But when the holidays hit, buyers went Christmas shopping instead.

The result: homes, even the fairly priced ones, are still available. Based on my listings (albeit not a scientific sample) these homes are NOT falling in price. It’s just taking longer than usual to get under contract.

A Henderson luxury home in 89012

Zillow apparently agrees with me. It’s just-released report for 89012–where the majority of my listings are– labled the market “chilly.”

The report did predict homes in this zip code would probably rise by 4.2 percent this year. Zillow reported prices actually went up 6.7 percent from November 2015 to November 2016. (We will take it!)

Interestingly, Zillow reported the median list price per square foot in 89012 is $162, which is higher than the Henderson average of $149.

Zillow said only 18.2 percent of listings in 89012 had a price cut. That’s good news.

Here is a link to the 89012 Zillow market report:

http://www.zillow.com//henderson-nv-89012/home-values

What does this mean to you?

Buyers: You have the negotiating power. Sellers hate the uncertainty. Use it!

Sellers: You can either wait it out if you list or just wait to list. Or, if you don’t need to max out your gain, price your house under market. For the one house that I’ve listed for $122 per square foot, I had almost a dozen offers the first week right after New Year’s. There are always buyers ready, willing and able when they find a true bargain.

If you have any questions about Henderson real estate prices, contact me:

How Las Vegas Neighborhood Diversity Helps Everyone Make Better Decisions

January 6, 2017 by Beth Ellyn Rosenthal

Surprise. Surprise! If you look at racial diversity, Las Vegas ranks among the best in America. So says a new report from the Brookings Institution.

Yes, kids, Las Vegas scores No. 1 among large metropolitan areas. Our statistical score was 40, the lowest in the nation. The 40 score means 40 percent of black, Hispanic and Asian people would have to change neighborhoods to equal the whites living there.

Raleigh, North Carolina came in No. 2 with a score of 42. The worst in the nation was Milwaukee, with a score of 81.

So why is this important? Ask Noreena Hertz, who currently is the Associate Director of the Centre for International Business and Management at the University of Cambridge. (Check out her great TED talk.) She writes in her book Eyes Wide Open, “If we are to make smarter decisions, we need to include in our decision-making people who look different to us, sound different to us and have different skills.”

In addition to race and gender, she adds age. Yes, living next to fossils like me can help you make better decisions!

Glad to see Las Vegas is No. 1 at something so important!

P.S. Call, text, email or send a carrier pigeon if you need any help with your real estate.
