Living in Las Vegas

Ok, I narrowed it down to what I think are a few of the best free events for kids on Halloween night in Las Vegas. 

Mix 94.1’s M&M Treat Street and/or Sunny 106.5’s Safe Street

I’m not sure whose annual Treat/Safe Street it is this year.  The Las Vegas Sun stated this was going to be a Mix 94.1 event, but the brochure from Town Square where it’s being held listed Sunny 106.5 as the host.  So, a little confusing, but either way, head down to Town Square on the Strip for lots of candy, contests and entertainment for the whole family.

GhostWalk and Carnival of Horrors

It’s the 3rd Annual Ghostwalk at The District at Green Valley Ranch.  Walk down main street and trick or treat at all the shops, but watch out for the ghosts!  The Carnival of Horrors is going to be a replica of an old-fashioned traveling carnival complete with sideshows.

Trick or Treating and Scary Movies at Lake Las Vegas

If watching scary movies by the lake sounds like the perfect Halloween night for your family then Montelago Village is where you want to be.  “Ghostbusters” is showing at 5:30pm and “Poltergeist” is at 7:30. And of course, the kids can trick or treat all through the village.

Happy Vegas Halloween!!

I have to admit, I have been trying to avoid the topic of the economy.  I keep thinking it can’t really be as bad they say, but I guess it’s time to face it.   Nevada’s economic activity is the lowest in the country this year.  Our unemployment rate is the highest it’s been in 23 years. 

I am thinking if everyone just keeps a positive mindset and accepts that we all may have to work a little harder these next couple years, then everybody will pull through ok.  Is a second job a topic in my household a little more frequently these days? Yes, and although we are not happy about it, I guess that’s just how it is right now.

So in an effort to do my part, I thought I would post about Opportunity Boulevard’s Career Fair at Green Valley Ranch Casino on Tuesday, October 14th.  The fair is going to be held in the Estancia Ballroom and it starts at 12:30 p.m.  There will be a resume workshop, a healthcare presentation, a sales presentation and a worship about applying for government positions.

Overall, this fair sounds really nice and hopefully will help out a few people. I will try to post more career fairs as I hear about them.  As always, dress to impress!!
