TODAY’S HAPPY HOURS & EATS 🇹🇭♥️

We know we’re a bit late to the game, but, to be fair, we’ve been somewhat gun shy. We’ve struggled to find really good Thai food on this side of town. But we went to Weera Thai yesterday (the one off of Spring Mountain), and, y’all, that was some really good Thai food.

We went for some basics - Ginger Chicken, Chow Mein, and Gyozas - to test the waters. Well, those waters were smooth and the temperature was fine. Somehow those gyozas were perfectly crisp and not at all greasy, and I’m honestly not sure how they did it.

Anyway, recommend… for now 👍

  • Weera Thai

  • 4276 Spring Mountain Rd

  • Tasty Things

  • Lunch Specials (though, none of interest to us)

Got plans for Valentine’s Day yet? ♥️ Well, the clock’s a-tickin’. But there are still plenty of places that are passably romantic with reservations available, and not all of them will make you adhere to a special menu. But, first up, those prix fixes and special menus.

  • Al Solito Posto is doing a three-course V-Day prix-fixe for $75/person or a Surf & Turf special for 2 for $125. But it “appears” you can also order off the standard menu. So, we’ll call this one a crossover.

  • Honey Salt’s prix-fixe is $95+/person. Presumably, that “+” is for your drinks. They also have a limited a la carte menu available.

  • Hawthorn Grill’s V-Day menu is February 14-16, and comes in at three courses for $100/person.

  • Jade’s Valentine’s menu, likewise, spans the weekend, and is three-courses for $98/person.

  • If you want that “special menu” without the prix-fixe, Brunello is serving up some options from noon-9 pm with live music from 6-8 pm.

Just looking for someplace to go that will meet those V-Day requirements of semi-fancy and romantic enough to keep you out of the doghouse… or off the couch? We think these places (that seem to be serving their standard menus) mostly hit those notes.

WEST SIDE EVENTS & LIVE MUSIC 🐲💵👮‍♀️

If you haven’t seen the Lunar New Year décor yet in Downtown Summerlin, today’s your last chance.

Theres’s also some cool stuff happening at the library, from making Black History Month Collages today to Unlocking Your Potential on Thursday to tax assistance. Okay… so it’s not all cool stuff. Free tax help though 👍

Also, if you have some burning questions for your local PD, it’s also First Tuesday with the Summerlin Area Command.

Of Interest Around the Valley 💡🌡️

Here are some things Around the Valley we think might be of interest -

The Night the Lights Went Out… 💡

Here. They went out here. Again. In a rather spectacular way.

The Airport. Allegiant Stadium.

And all ‘cause someone wanted to steal some copper wiring.

Maybe it’s time to get some more locks on those substations, that’s all I’m sayin’.

More Record Highs 🌡️

Things got a little warmer than predicted yesterday. Like, record-setting warm.

The airport recorded 80°, which broke the record of 77° set in 2018.

And it’s still winter…

It’s gonna be another wild year, y’all.
