Hey, Nevadans!
There’s a new bar in the Arts District called Dustland—have y’all tried it yet? It’s on Commerce Street, which I’m glad to see the Arts District is expanding.
Is Wednesday too early to think about the weekend? Because I’m thinking of checking Dustland out this weekend.
Have a good day!
