What’s your favorite local find?

“The patio/front yard at Crown and Anchor. People are allowed to bring their dogs, and it’s the friendliest place in town. I just don’t know if it’s the dogs or the beer that makes people friendly.” –Tiffannie

“The Smith Center. What a beautiful venue.” –Megan

“The church I attended when I was living in Las Vegas, St. Sharbel Maronite Catholic Church. The building has an old, European chapel feel to it and the people are friendly.” –Nadia

“The Clark County Museum on Boulder Highway.” –Gail

“Colosseum Training Center. I’ve been struggling with my physical health for a long time and my association with Colosseum Training Center has changed my perception in a way that is making my lifestyle healthier.” –Alex

“Spring’s Preserve.” –Donna

“There are so many – Community Lutheran Church, Grouchy John’s Coffee shop, Colosseum Training Center, Benjarong Authentic Thai Cuisine, UNLV Continuing Education, Thai Thai, The Smith Center. To name a few.” –Melissa

“Boulder City is where I grew up. A small town sheltered from the Las Vegas lifestyle.

“Pho MaiLan Vietnamese restaurant.” –Jim
