Guess Who's Back? Police Find "Mysterious Monolith" In Las Vegas Desert

For a simple drink, the gin & tonic allows endless variations. Of course you can change out the gin and tonic water you’re using, but something I’ve been playing with recently is garnishes. It’s easy to overlook a garnish as just a bit of pretty thrown in at the end of making a drink, but in fact they can significantly affect the taste and scent of your drink, and they can elevate it to something really special.

It's sharp, it's tangy, and it adds a delicious note to your G&T

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

Hold onto your designer shades: The founder of Oakley just unloaded his Malibu megamansion for a staggering $210 million, smashing all previous California real estate records.

This eye-popping sale leaves Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s then-record $200 million Malibu compound purchase last year in the dust. 

However, this is not the priciest home ever to sell in US history. That honor belongs to Ken Griffin’s $238 million purchase in 2019 of a four-level condo at 220 Central Park South in New York City.

Eyewear mogul James Jannard, who started Oakley in 1975, is laughing all the way to the bank after buying the place...

In another sign of the Mirage’s impending closure, the tram between the resort and Treasure Island has closed. The tram that connected the two resorts, which were both developed by Steve Wynn, is no longer in operation and there are almost no signs of its existence at Treasure Island.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

The Last of Us bombarded television screens like a post-apocalyptic virus in January 2023. The thrilling adaptation of the Playstation classic resoundingly recaptured the dark, foreboding storytelling of the video games while giving stars performers Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey a platform to show off their fantastic acting skills. The first season didn’t sway far from the source material, neatly ending the ninth episode right where the maiden game concluded.

What is more summery than an icy, sweet frozen drink? If the heat wave is getting to you, try whipping up this simple frozen strawberry lemonade. All you need is your choice of lemonade and some frozen strawberries. You can use store-bought lemonade, make your own from scratch, or a powdered version. As for strawberries, frozen ones are the easiest choice. If you'd rather use fresh, add at least two cups of ice until you reach a nice, frozen consistency.

A corkage fee is a service fee related to wine. When you bring in a bottle, the wine still needs some TLC in the form of assessment and presentation, as well as potential pairing ideas. The corkage fee is meant to compensate for the fact that you’re not buying from the eatery’s wine list (although you should, too, if you feel like more than what you brought in) and cover the act of serving said wine. The restaurant is doing you a solid by allowing you to pack in your own Pinot, so return the favor by not griping about the corkage fee, as it’s a common sense add-on. You pay the corkage fee, and the restaurant will set you up with its space to taste in, along with some wine expertise and the accouterments, such as flutes for Champagne.
