April 2023 PUBLISHER
Everett Dorand | everett.dorand@citylifestyle.com EDITOR
Paige Candee | paige.candee@citylifestyle.com
As the calendar turns to April, we are left with one thought in our valley … Summer is Coming! This is an ideal time to explore. Go outdoors and enjoy nature. Take a bike ride around town, hike one of our many trails, or head over to Lake Mead (or what is left of it)! We must leave some room for exploring, trying new places and things, being a beginner, or even getting lost for a little while. It is those times that are unstructured and open-ended where the space exists for connections to be made, friendships to be fostered, and trust to be built. In my own travels around our city in the past month, I welcomed a new advertising partner, 3rd Reef Divers. This crew takes some of the best trips every year — Fuji, Cozumel, and South America. Talk about exploring! It looks like so much fun that I have joined their dive club. In the last few months, I've really been analyzing my relationship with my kids, how our family operates as a unit, and what we love spending our time doing. The way I made this clearer was to first focus on the things that I don't love spending time on. For our family — it’s screens. For yours, it may be too many busy weeknights away from home or not enough dinners around the table together. I've noticed that "adventures" and “exploration” don’t have to be something big and crazy. It can be playing a board game out on the patio, walking a new trail, or going out to find a cookie shop we've never been to before in a different part of town. Our hope is that this issue encourages you to make room for exploration. To prioritize time away from the regular schedule of life. To lose yourself on a trail or in a book., to book that trip you’ve been thinking about, to make time for the things that matter most to you but often come last on the calendar. If April showers bring May flowers, make time to play in the rain! Here’s your reminder to — and I say this with warmth in my heart — get lost! ;) Also, please be sure to check out our social media pages and follow us on Instagram @hendersoncitylifestyle and on Facebook @hendersoncitylifestyle. Happy April!

A Taste of
MONTANA RIGHT IN Henderson
Whitefish Montana and Las Vegas are just over 1000 miles apart but a world away in many ways except for one thing - Craggy Range Sports Bar & Grill. Whitefish is home to the renowned Whistling Andy Distillery and the birthplace of Craggy Range Sports Bar & Grill about 15 years ago. This venue, excellent for sports and tasty comfort food, quickly became a favorite for families to come together after youth sports games and take in every sport imaginable on their bigscreen TVs. Craggy Range has a unique position in Las Vegas as the only sports bar at the Dollar Loan Center Arena, home of the NHL minor league hockey team, the Henderson Silver Knights (an affiliate of the Las Vegas Golden Knights). Upon arrival, the spectacular Dollar Loan Center would rival any arena in the country. Its modern, sleek architecture stands out and is visible blocks away. Then your eyes are drawn with great anticipation for all ages to the large outside patio and welcoming bright sign beckoning guests to Craggy Range Sports Bar & Grill. “The Dollar Loan Center seats around 6000 people for games. We have 330 seats for inside seating at Craggy Range and an additional 80 on the outside patio,” stated Craggy Range General Manager Chris Maresh. “There isn’t a bad one in the house, as every seat at every table has unobstructed views of multiple large-screen TVs. If you don’t see YOUR team on, ask, and they will put it up on the closest TV to you.” CONTINUED >

Las Vegas-area sports bars abound within the new sports megacity; few, if any, are family-friendly. Craggy Range sets the stage for family viewing, separating them from the others. The restaurant is a non-gaming venue, and the vast circular bar is set in the front of the restaurant, separating it from the other tables. “It is not uncommon for entire families and youth sports teams to arrive in mass after a hard-fought game to celebrate with elevated Montana-inspired dishes,” added Maresh. “Some of our most popular dishes are Fish and Chips, Tacos, Black and Bleu Bites, and Warm Butter Cake.” The bar program is exceptional, with many local beers on tap and by the bottle. Speaking about beer, why not indulge in their Beer Tower 48-ounce or 98-ounce to share? Try a beverage that reflects Montana’s Americana. The whiskey and bourbon selections feature familiar names Maker’s 46, Woodford Reserve, Knob Creek, Basil Hayden’s, Yellowstone Select, and straight from Whitefish, of course, Whistling Andy Bottled in Bond. Take a seat and start with Big Mtn Nachos, a massive mound of house-fried tortilla chips, melted cheese blend, diced tomatoes, black beans, green onions, fresh jalapeños, black olives, guacamole, and salsa that can feed the whole table or team. The Black & Bleu Bites, cooked-to-order blackened sirloin bites, bleu cheese crumbles, warm bleu cheese sauce, mixed greens, and a grilled baguette are a true delight, making this a guest favorite. Pro Tip: Follow this up with the decadent Ground Bison Chili, with cheese melting with every rich bite. Keeping on the bison track, the Bison Burger is a perfect ground bison blend hand-formed with mozzarella and parmesan, topped with Swiss, cheddar, and sage mayo, and it is brilliant with every juicy bite. Pro Tip: medium rare is the way to go. Another house favorite is the Shredder Taco featuring shredded chicken, pepper jack cheese, cabbage slaw, southwest pico de gallo, queso fresco, mango-habanero-lime sauce, and fresh cilantro. Craggy Range also has an excellent kids’ menu with mini cheeseburgers with fries or tater tots, chicken strips with fries or tater tots, kid’s pasta with butter, alfredo, or marinara sauce, and the highly requested mac ‘n cheese. For the big finale, don’t miss out on the Warm Butter Cake with a golden crust and cream cheese filling, served with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce dusted with smoked sea salt flakes. For something more decadent, the Craggy Range Cheesecake, NY style, with a traditional graham cracker crust and a choice of sea salt caramel, raspberry melba, or dark label chocolate to top it off. Craggy Range aims for guests to get happy with a Happy Hour Monday through Friday from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Stop into Craggy Range Sports Bar & Grill for a game or just to hang out and take in a little bit of Montana with every sip and bite, along with a side of Las Vegas.

and groups create memories that will last a lifetime. With extensive research, she plans vacations that are directly related to a client’s unique needs, preferences, and budget. While planning a trip can be stressful, a travel agent makes the process much easier to create a seamless travel experience. “If you want to plan a stress-free dream vacation, all you need to worry about is what to put in your suitcase,” said Michelle. Since launching her company in 2006, Michelle has been exploring the world and continues to learn about new experiences to share with her clients. Her next adventure will start in Munich, where she will board an Avalon Waterways River Cruise for six days, then arrive in Budapest, where she and her colleagues will enjoy a few days of sightseeing. The beauty of river cruising allows travelers to get up close and personal in places larger ships can’t while exploring a destination’s history and culture.

Traveling has been Michelle Jackson’s passion since she was a little girl. After retiring from the military as a medical administrator, she continued her career in nursing, but an unexpected turn of events changed her trajectory. After being attacked by a dog and suffering significant damage to her leg, standing on her feet all day was no longer possible. While considering a new career, she discovered an opportunity to open a franchise of Dream Vacations, and her life took a very different path. With Michelle’s passion for travel and a desire to own her own business, Dream Vacations was a perfect fit. Her franchise, Heroes 2 Heroes Travel, is part of the World Travel Holdings’ family of brands, one of the top travel retail networks in the world with incredible buying power with every major cruise line and many tour operators, resulting in exceptionally low prices and exclusive offers such as upgrades, discounts, and more. As a travel professional, Michelle is dedicated to helping individuals, families,

to explore from the heart of Normandy to the hem of the Mediterranean. As a Southern Nevada business owner, Michelle will walk her clients step-by-step through the entire booking and planning process, from selecting destinations and excursions based on their interests to enhancing memorable vacation moments, handling all the unexpected from weather delays, natural disasters, flight delays, and (heaven forbid) lost luggage. She will even provide information on passports, visas, customs, insurance, vaccinations, and trip cancellation policies. January through April is known as WAVE Season, when travel advisors are busiest booking cruises. It’s the ultimate vacation experience when you wake up in a new city each day but only need to pack and unpack once. Popular destinations include Hawaii, the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Norway, Japan, and Alaska. Michelle just completed a Norwegian Prima charity cruise from Port Canaveral, which had stops in Cozumel, the Grand Cayman Islands, and other destinations to benefit the Pararescue Foundation. It’s a 501(c)3 non-profit organization very near and dear to her heart that is dedicated to exclusively supporting U.S. Air Force Pararescue and Combat Rescue Officer service members, veterans, and their families. She and her husband of 29 years, also a retired veteran, know firsthand the dangers of executing technical rescue operations worldwide, regardless of enemy threat or environmental conditions, and the toll it takes on military families. Together they raise funds and awareness of the important work of the foundation. International travelers have made Spain a very popular destination. Consider exploring the Cathedral of Seville, Barcelona, for the nightlife, Madrid’s stunning Prado Museum, or the narrow streets of Cadiz. Dance the Flamenco and enjoy the guitar music that accompanies it in the southern Andalusian region, and when in Valencia, be sure to try the paella. Stroll the delightful Christmas villages of Austria and Germany or get a taste of Italy on a tour of Rome, Florence, and Venice. Or, for a truly unique, educational, and once-ina-lifetime experience, consider an all-inclusive, worry-free trip to the majestic Galapagos Islands.

Along the way, you can send notes to acknowledge their generosity by sharing your experiences.

LAS VEGAS IS BECOMING THE SOLAR CAPITAL OF THE WORLD How you can seamlessly switch to solar energy
With such volatile energy prices, solar energy is an ideal option for those looking to reduce spending. Lucky for us in Henderson, Sol-Up offers design and solar panel installation for residential, commercial, and public service clients with the latest solar technologies at competitive prices. Despite a well-known lack of sunshine, Germany, the world leader in solar energy, can generate 50 percent of all energy demand at peak times. After 20 successful years as a company leader in Germany, Sol-Up Founder and Chief Executive Officer Frank Rieger came here in 2009, bringing his authenticity, strong work ethic, and empowering attitude when he saw the potential to turn Nevada and the west coast into the solar energy capital of the world. Rieger believed that customers who experience the technology are more likely to get solar panel installations, so he created the only solar installation company in the area with a showroom to showcase the different technologies suited to Nevada’s environment. Customers choose Sol-Up due to its viability, financial structure regarding pricing, and concierge customer service representatives that assist with all matters, including HOA approvals, permits, and statuses towards installation. They use only the highest quality materials and have an experienced team of
professionals specializing in solar services, from installation and maintenance to system design and financing. Installation teams undergo rigorous training on all roof types and complex electrical hookups at Sol-Up’s Solar University at their Dean Martin Campus, focusing on safety, quality, and aesthetics. With engineering as their foundation, the team thoughtfully designs each system with passion and purpose. Engineers install the highest quality energy products by forging strategic partnerships with industry giants like Meyer Burger, Tesla, SPAN, and ProVia with a keen eye toward carefully aligning with like-minded engineering-focused partners. Meyer Burger has been at the top of the solar industry for decades, forging ahead as the number one manufacturer of high-performance photovoltaic (P.V.) cells and modules. Sol-Up installed the first Meyer Burger panel in the U.S. in Las Vegas and is their only U.S. Pinnacle Partner. Sol-Up is Nevada’s No. 1 Tesla Powerwall Certified installer, an integrated battery system that stores solar energy for backup protection when the grid goes down, detecting outages and automatically recharging with sunlight to keep appliances running for days. Tesla’s vertical integration and product design offers the lowest cost per kWh of an integrated CONTINUED >
