Cocktails + True Tales: Downtown Diaries-Before it was Cool

In recent years the vintage neighborhoods in the heart of Las Vegas have become a desirable destination for creatives, style makers and chic urbanites seeking the kind of space not offered in other locales. These personalities seek the community and character that only a vintage neighborhood can offer.

However, it wasn’t that many years ago that a home purchase anywhere around the downtown area would have left your friends and family wondering about your sanity. In a rapidly growing city that was selling an “out with the old and in with the new” attitude, opting to move into a home that was anything but fresh out of the box was simply not an acceptable part of Vegas culture.

While many saw these older homes as dilapidated relics of the past, these early adopters saw the promise of the future. The tales of the vintage Vegas house scene in the early 00’s will make you laugh, cry and maybe even clutch your pearls.

Grab a cocktail and a seat because this is one story hour you don’t want to miss.
