In a city known for hospitality, it's imperative to create the best atmospheres for dining, and that includes picking the best tunes. That's why a professor and sommelier are teaming up at UNLV to teach an elective course: "The Aesthetics of Music and Wine."

Founded in 2009 by UNLV alumna Kathryn Kruse, Neon Lit began without a name, just as a loose gathering of Master of Fine Arts students reading their work to one another, as Wright describes it. By 2010, the series adopted its moniker, and over the past 16 years it’s expanded beyond the university corridors into a broader civic space, drawing audiences hungry for literary community.

Founded to support fair representation for women in film and elevate historically marginalized voices, the festival continues to grow each year. In addition to film screenings, the event features panel discussions on topics like the state of Nevada’s film industry and the possibilities of generative AI, along with mixers, meetups, and the annual Femmy Awards.

Whether clients are approaching Las Vegas for the first time or the 20th time, they are met by one of the world's most recognizable skylines. The Strip has changed constantly through the decades but retains an unmistakable grip on the imagination thanks to architecture that alternates between chaotic and wondrous, kitsch and classic.
