What's your favorite activity off the strip?

Number one, my favorite activity off the Strip would have to be Downtown Las Vegas. It's really turned around last few years. Really cool Arts District, the bars, the food. It's a cool scene down there.

 

What's your favorite activity on the strip?

My favorite activity on the Strip would have to be going to the T-Mobile Arena for the different events, whether it's Vegas Golden Knights hockey, or an MMA fight. I love T-Mobile Arena.

 

What's your favorite Vegas restaurant?

My favorite restaurant is Beauty & Essex, which is a little speakeasy. It's really good food.

 

What's your favorite Vegas business?

My favorite business is the Stitched, which is a men's clothing suit company at the Cosmo. They make really cool stuff.

 

Do you have a funny Vegas story you can share?

A funny Vegas story; when I was 16, 17 years old, my friends and I would use to sneak in all the hotel pools. We'd go to the front desk, and we would say we were collecting room keys. Then, we would grab a room key, we'd go to the pool, we'd show them the room key, and we'd go hang out at the pool all day. That was my funny Vegas story.
