A Vegas Local's Weekend Getaway

Walking in LA, Venice & the Great Escape

When it's too hot in the dust bowl of the Vegas valley, the CA coast and LA jungle are calling...

Living on the edge is a perk. We are a minute from state line and can be in another state in merely a few hours, whether it's Arizona or California. So, one long weekend we gave old' blue a rest and rented an average, yet powerful car to take us away.

There's nothing really to do on your way out of the valley besides drive. UNLESS want to take some back roads to the Pioneer Saloon for a pint and some characters.

Downtown Las Vegas; aka Old Vegas

Coco's Favorites

The Strip is overrated and inundated with very cookie cutter music, shopping and prices. My advice is only go for the pool parties and if clubs are your thing. Head a bit further north to the "Old Vegas" neighborhood where the likes of Dino, Sinatra, and the Mob started their desert playground. 

After some exploration and numerous visits, or romps, my little guide to DTLV is near complete. From a boozy manicures to underground shows, here are a few of MY favorites spots for sips and bites.

Luck Be A Lady Tonight

Retro Vegas Bridal Spree

"Stick with me baby... "

A few weeks ago, a gal I worked with in Portland for a boudoir shoot came down with her hubby to vacation and shoot in the desert. Kel Ward photographs mainly out of her cute studio in the Hawthorne neighborhood of hip Portland. One morning, I took a little Bolt Bus adventure down to shoot with her for a dark bridal boudoir shoot, which was recently featured on Way Out Wedding!

So, I roped the dashingly handsome Pineapple Stu into shooting with me, albeit it took a few margaritas at Beauty Bar to loosen up... unfortunately some of the photos came out a little blurry, so high res showcasing won't be necessary, but visit our Instagram to see more! Dress is by Kate Miles

This is our usual look of contemplation of our next bar destination.

See more from our shoot with Kel Ward Photography and Dresses By Kate.

Harry Potter Themed Cafe: Bad Owl Coffee

Henderson 'hood gets their own Leaky Cauldron-esque Cafe

It takes a Seattle'n to hunt for the perfect coffee shop, let me tell you.  I was intrigued by this cafe in their pre-opening stages. Their concept of craft and care in the brew process is pretty A level; being from the American coffee mecca, I'm pretty impressed at the execution. But, it isn't just coffee artistry that got me... but their THEME. If Harry, Hermione and Ron ever studied for the O.W.L. exams besides the Gryffindor common room, it would be at Bad Owl Coffee.
