Las Vegas, here I come again (the second time this year)! If you’re in the area and interested — join in — I’ll be kick-off speaker for Nevada Preservation’s Vintage Vegas Home Tour on Sunday, May 8. It’s actually a two-day, Saturday-Sunday extravaganza, and like other participants I can’t wait to see the fabulous homes selected for this year’s tour… to shop Antique Alley… maybe fit in a tour of the Neon Museum… and I see there are cocktails on the schedule, and more. The topic of my opening remarks: “Love The House You’re In!” — my favorite topic! If you do come, please do not hesitate to come up and introduce yourself! I absolutely makes my day my month my year to meet readers! Don’t be shy! Hope to see you there! For more info and to order tickets in advance: Vintage Vegas Home & History extravaganza
