[vc_empty_space height=”25px”][vc_column_text]My husband and I have lived in Las Vegas for two years and we’ve had the opportunity to see world-class Vegas shows, eat delicious meals and go on crazy desert adventures.

As soon as we got our mail forwarded (necessary to prove you’re a local), my husband and I became members of HouseSeats.  Locals function as seat fillers for shows with extra tickets and we have gone to most of the shows you’ll see on this page for free because of HS.

I’ve broken down the shows into the following categories:

If you’re headed to Vegas and want advice on what to see, do, or eat, ask me in the comments area below. I’m happy to help!

And, hey – if you have a few days here and are looking for an unusual day trip, may I suggest the China Ranch Date Farm (but not during the summer)? It’s a short drive to Death Valley and so much fun![/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]** HouseSeats has several membership options. A two-person, one-year membership costs $89 (as of 10/17). If you live here, you should definitely take advantage of this.

Like I said previously, we have gone to most of the shows I rated on this page for free because of HS. It also gives you a great excuse to get out and explore the city when you’re new here. Unless you work on the Strip, most locals don’t spend as much time there as we do, but we really enjoy getting out for things like this (and we don’t gamble or drink much…so this is a fun night out for us!).[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column][vc_column_text]
