For some people, like my wife Karina, the summer heat in Vegas can be a lot. When we moved here six years ago, part of our family agreement was that summer would be the season for indoor fun, water time, and trips to places in July and August that don’t hit 115 degrees.
Luckily, Henderson has some great indoor gyms for kids and adults, along with excellent splash pads, water parks, and Lake Mead activities that make the heat a little easier to handle. And heading out of town will probably still be part of the plan this summer. St. George, where we stayed last week (HERE!), Duck Creek, and maybe even a beach trip to San Diego are all on our list.
Whether you’re staying indoors, getting in the water, or planning a getaway, where are you having fun this summer in and around Vegas?
🏛️ Westside Legacy Park Honors Local Trailblazers
The Gist: Historic Westside Legacy Park unveiled its 2026 inductees Saturday, honoring community leaders whose service helped shape the neighborhood. New plaques featuring their names and images were added during the ceremony, celebrating the people who helped build and preserve the area’s legacy.
Why It Matters: Neighborhood history matters because it keeps the stories of real people from being forgotten. For our community, this kind of recognition reminds us that progress didn’t happen by accident, it came from neighbors who showed up, worked hard, and left something lasting behind.
🍝 Italian Classics, Fully Plant-Based
7960 S Rainbow Blvd suite 8000G, Las Vegas
Comforting Italian flavors take center stage at Tarantino’s Vegan, where cashew ricotta, gnocchi, and rich pasta dishes bring familiar warmth with a plant-based twist. The “Tour of Tarantino’s” offers a bit of everything, from creamy sauces to bold, savory bites that feel indulgent without being heavy.
Even the appetizers and desserts hold their own, making it easy to share plates and linger longer than planned. It’s a thoughtful take on Italian dining that surprises with how satisfying it feels.
