The Special Magic of Love in Las Vegas
There is a specific kind of magic that happens in Las Vegas during the summer. Most people think of the Strip as a place of excess—buffets, blackjack, and bass-thumping nightclubs. But when the sun sets over the Mojave Desert and the heat of the day finally softens into a warm embrace, something shifts. The neon doesn’t just flash; it glows. And in that glow, love isn’t just in the air—it’s everywhere!
If you want to understand the romance of this city, you have to leave the Strip at sunset. Drive 20 minutes out to Red Rock Canyon. The landscape turns from neon to amber to deep violet. The mountains look like they’ve been painted by God’s own hand. And in that silence, surrounded by nothing but dirt, rock, and sky, you realize that love isn’t about the bright lights, its about the love you share with the person next to you!
In a city built on gambling, the biggest risk—and the sweetest reward—isn’t at the craps table. It’s the moment you turn to the person beside you and let yourself feel something special. The neon glows. The heat holds. And love, against all odds, is everywhere. I think I hear a violin playing in the background!
Proper Posture and a Light Bow Stroke
Learning the violin starts with how you hold yourself. Stand tall, feet shoulder-width apart, shoulders relaxed, and the violin resting comfortably on your collarbone. Your left hand supports the instrument without squeezing, and your bow arm moves freely.
Equally important is handling the bow like a feather. A light, controlled bow stroke lets you produce a clean, resonant sound without tension. Think of it as guiding the bow across the strings rather than pressing down. With good posture and a feather-light bow, you’ll set the stage for beautiful music and comfortable playing.
Common beginner bow strokes like détaché (separated notes), legato (smooth connections), and staccato (short, detached) build on this feather-light approach.
Merry Christmas!

Is it hot enough for you?
Las Vegas is known as the capital of entertainment, sports and cuisine. We are also known for hot weather in the summer! This year is no exception. Our summer weather has been setting heat records. People ask me. “how can you live here when it is so hot?”
The truth is, it is a very dry heat. Usually we have three to four months of warm or hot weather. We are prepared. Living in air conditioned homes, travelling in air conditioned cars to our air conditioned jobs! The other months are very comfortable,spring and fall especially!
