The Community Strikes Back
Downtown Vegasites are pissed at Mindy Kaling (of The Office) and they’re going to “swarm” Luv It’s Frozen Custard (behind All Star Donuts on LV Blvd. and Oakey). You see, Kaling told the tale of having a sketchy experience at Luv It’s after going there on late night Talk Show Host Craig Ferguson’s recommendation (see…
Luv Its Frozen Custard gets a shout-out on Craig Ferguson
Now, some may say this paints a bad picture of Vegas … although, what do you expect when you venture out of the “safety” of the Strip playground and go to a joint that is on the same corner as an all-night Chinese food/donut shop and one of the oldest strip clubs in town? ……
QVEGAS: Seeking same-sex couples
I’m sorry I’ve been so light on posts this week. I started a new job (an office gig to make some extra cash) and it is eating up more time than I thought it would. Until I get my ducks in a row it’s going to be a little irregular here at Siren HQ. In…

Obervations from the islands: Public transit edition
One of the things we factored in to our vacation planning on this trip was access to public transportation. We live in Vegas and have to drive everywhere so part of the vacation experience is being liberated from the gas pedal. Luckily, Hawaii has an award-winning bus system (rated top 10 in the world and…
Public transit or Road Rage vacation?
I’m recovering from a bit of a sinus/chest infection and the medicine-head has got me thinking about mass transit. You see, I got this nifty prescription cough medicine. It works wonders, but it’s so powerful I’m not allowed to drive while taking it (something about a mild narcotic in it). So this has got me…
