Fry’s price matching works!
I’m genuinely surprised in a happy way. Fry’s has a price matching policy. It’s not plastered all over the store, but I found it on the good ol’ Interweb after a short search: If within 30 days of purchasing an item from Fry’s you see a lower in-stock price at a local competitor with a […]
A las Vegas blogger who blogs
A friend sent me this link: http://www.meganedwards.com/features.htm I like it. A fellow Las Vegan writing about an interesting town. And it looks like she actually writes on her blog.

Risky business begets free eats: one of the cool things about living in Vegas
