Now that the Rio Olympics have started, it’s time to brush up on the American athletes and try to follow as many events as possible.

Take a half day: leaving to Vegas on a Friday night can be a complete mess. If you take off after work, an otherwise simple 3 to 4 hour trips can double in an unbearable 6-hour one. If you plan to get to Vegas stress free, take a half day from work and leave around noon.

 

Download Uber or Lyft: first time users of Uber and Lyft typically receive $5 discounts on multiple rides. Once you get to Vegas, fight for taxi’s can be the worst. Instead, download a rideshare app and use your discount rides.

 

Take snacks: weekend Vegas trips can get expensive, so be sure to take water bottles and snacks. By taking snacks you can skip a meal and just eat in your room.

Perfect Summer BBQ Grill Tips For the Beginner

Are you new to summer BBQ-ing? Did you just buy your first grill and are looking to cook some amazing meats? Well, if you are, here are three tips for grilling meats perfectly this summer. Have fun and enjoy the amazing weather.

Use thighs: cooking chicken can be tough. Breast will dry out quickly and thighs could get burnt. The key is to use chicken thighs, because of the extra fat, and cook them with indirect heat.

Cook burgers with high heat: burgers on the other hand will dry out if cooked with low or medium heat. Ground beef cooks quickly, so try charbroiling your burgers for a great, juicy taste.

Sauces: if you are using sugar based sauces, like BBQ sauce, wait until the final 10 minutes of cooking before applying. Do so sooner will only  burger the sauce and blacken the meat.
