First Friday November has arrived!

With the mild weather this late in the season there should be no excuses not to come out and celebrate Las Vegas' amazing cultural institution First Friday. Which by the way just happens to coincide with the Las Vegas Valley Book Festival.

I took a stroll last night around the arts district and I will say we are in for a nice treat this month. With a nice array of art to entice the masses right before the holiday season there should be plenty of artsy things to pick up as gifts.

First Friday begins a little earlier tonight around 5pm and yes there is plenty of parking in and around the area for all. For more information about First Friday please visit this site - http://www.firstfridaylasvegas.com/
