Touchstone Homes Development at Ft. Apache & Lone Mountain

I’ve written that I’m going to do a review on Touchstone Homes, the Las Vegas Home Builder from which I purchased my house in July of 2015.  While I haven’t had a chance to write that review yet (I’m also waiting for my 1-year “bumper-to-bumper” warranty to expire before I write it), I wanted to […]

Santa at Town Square in Las Vegas Review

We took our nearly 3 year old son to see Santa for the first time today.  Still flinching from the barrage of physical and emotional attacks my son laid on me while waiting in line for over an hour at Disney Land to see Mickey Mouse, I decided to try Town Square's Santa because they […]

The Best Big-O-Tires in Las Vegas

I previously wrote an article on how to get a discount on tires in Las Vegas without even needing a Big-O-Tires coupon by calling around to a couple Big-O-Tires asking for each one to give me their best price. I ended up going to the Summerlin Big-O-Tires (10127 W Charleston Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89135) near […]

Touchstone Living - Las Vegas Home Builder Review

My wife and I purchased a new home from Touchstone Living, a privately owned Las Vegas home builder, in June of 2015. Our house is just North of Lone Mountain on the North West side of Las Vegas. From what I've gathered (via email addresses and conversations) Touchstone Living is some sort of subsidiary of Mariner […]

Big-O-Tires Las Vegas Discount - No Coupon Necessary

I'm amazed that I can call 3 different Big-O-Tires here in Las Vegas and get 3 very different prices for the exact same tires!  Doing so always allows me to find a better discont than I could possibly even do with a great coupon. Our Hyundai Santa Fe just hit 70,000 miles, which is 10,000 miles over the […]

Should I put solar power on my roof here in Las Vegas, Nevada?

A few months ago, my wife and I moved into our newly built home on the North West side of Las Vegas, not too far from Lone Mountain (I need to write an article on why we moved out of Summerlin; Please leave a comment if you'd like to read why). We finally sold our old […]

Paula Poundstone - Live Stand-Up Comedy Review

Back when I was a kid, I used to watch a lot of late night comedy shows on broadcast tv (we didn't have cable)... well I'd actually record them and watch them the next day as I wasn't allowed to stay up late enough to watch them when they aired. I even dubbed my favorite comedians sets onto […]

Learning to negotiate with a builder on a newly built home in Las Vegas

My wife and I signed to buy a house 12 hours ago and I’m wide awake at 3:30am tossing and turning not with buyers remorse but with negotiators remorse. I say that because I learned a ton doing this transaction that I wish I had known before our negotiation yesterday, and though I got a pretty […]

Summerlin Pumpkin Patch: Las Vegas @ Flamingo & Grand Canyon - Review

My wife and I visited the local "Stu Miller's Pumpkin Patch" in Summerlin Las Vegas on the NW corner of  Flamingo and Grand Canyon today with our 20 month old boy.  We had a good time walking around taking pictures in the pumpkin patch. We had a fun, but our boy was too small to […]

The Best Piano Movers in Las Vegas

My wife and I were recently had a Steinway & Sons grand piano shipped from Seattle to here in Las Vegas.  We used a national shipper, who it turns out is actually a middle man who trucks the piano across the country, but contracts the pick up and drop off to local piano movers. When […]
