Have family in town this week? If you’re going to play tour guide in Vegas, pack your patience and visit a few not-so-obvious destinations on the Strip. I joined City Cast Las Vegas co-hosts Sarah Lohman and Dayvid Figler to discuss a few of our secret recommendations on the Strip to impress family and friends. It’s one of my favorite episodes of the year. [City Cast Las Vegas 🎧]
