AHHHH, SUMMER. Time for backyard pool parties and family vacations. Time for kids to run after the ice cream truck when the telltale sound of its music turns onto your street to secure the perfect sweet treat to beat the heat. For the loud explosion of fireworks on the Fourth of July, the shriveled fingertips that signify too much time in the pool, and the soothing feeling of aloe vera on that patch of skin that always seems to turn red, no matter how much sunscreen you slather on.

If you’re looking for ways to fill your long summer days, we at Green Valley Lifestyle have some suggestions! We’ve got activities to keep you and your kids occupied. Check out our list for a fun road trip, tantalize your taste buds with excellent foodie spots, quench your thirst at a locals' tavern, and explore outdoor spaces when the kids head off to camp.

If you’re looking to stick closer to home, we show you a great getaway destination.

CORPORATE TEAM CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER CHIEF SALES OFFICER CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER DIRECTOR OF MARKETING ART DIRECTOR OPERATIONS DIRECTOR EDITORIAL MANAGER EDITORIAL AD MANAGER AD COORDINATORS

Maybe you’ll pick up a few ideas to spruce up your own outdoor festivities. We also show you some easy treats, yard games and summer cocktails you can enjoy. Invite your friends and family and throw a backyard soiree!

The mercury is rising, and the days are stretching longer and longer. No matter how you spend them, enjoy these dog days of summer, Green Valley — and try to stay cool.

HERE IN VEGAS, WE’RE PRETTY USED TO THE HEAT. But when you want to get away and cool down for a bit, we have a great spot that’s not where you would expect. The Oasis at Death Valley indeed doesn’t sound like a fun place to cool off.

But once you step inside the 4-diamond, 66-room inn or the more family-oriented 224-room Ranch at the Oasis at Death Valley, North America’s only true desert oasis is the place to be.

THE OASIS AT DEATH VALLEY

(CON TI N U ED)

A gorgeous swimming pool filled with natural spring water is probably the last thing you’d expect to see in the middle of the desert, but the Oasis at Death Valley offers just that. Soak in the spring-fed waters, sample the treatments offered in the new and nurturing spa, and seek midday shade under the cabanas. The Oasis is fully aware how valuable water is in the desert, which is why they ensure that every drop of the pool water is purposefully used and carefully managed. The spring water is not chlorinated, eventually flowing through the lakes to be used for a variety of other non-potable functions, including landscaping and irrigation of the golf course (which is also an Audubon-approved bird sanctuary).

The Oasis features four separate dining establishments. The Ranch Date Grove Diner, the primary food service option, has a variety of quick service offerings for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The brand-new facility offers an open dining space looking out to the golf course with its tamarisk trees and mountain vistas.

If you’re feeling a bit fancier, the Inn’s dining room, pictured above, serves a menu featuring classic cuisine. Regional flavors such as cactus, citrus and even pomegranate from the Inn’s garden are highlighted in the menu. The Inn Pool Cafe, which allows you to grab a quick bite from the comfort of your cabana, offers sandwiches, wraps, salads and beverages. The 19th Hole is an open-air venue overlooking the golf course.

The restaurant has a full bar, great hamburgers and a drive-thru option for golf carts.

A visit to the Oasis at Death Valley would not be

complete without a round of golf. The Furnace Creek Golf Course at Death Valley, an 18-hole, par-70 course, sits at 214 feet below sea level, making it the world’s lowest-elevation golf course. Palm and tam-

arisk trees frame the fairways, and majestic mountains are visible from all areas of the course. Gear up at the fully stocked Pro Shop on anything from golf balls and tees to apparel and snacks. No round of golf would be complete without a stop at the 19th Hole for a burger.

Air Conditioning Bills Set to Rise!

3 Tips to Saving Your AC and Money Now! As spring comes to an end and Summer begins to heat up, it’s no surprise that you will begin to see a BIG INCREASE in your POWER BILL. Bulldog Air Conditioning President Derrick Poole says a lot of times customers wait too long before making changes that will not only help to maintain their AC but will also save them money. Here are 3 tips from Bulldog that they say will begin saving you money today!

Tip #1 Change out those air filters! It’s important to change out your air filters regularly to prevent your AC from overworking. As your filters clog, your AC has to work overtime to pull air through the return. set a reminder in your phone to change your filters every 2 months.

Tip #2

Keep consistent. A lot of time customers think they are saving money by turning their AC off when they leave for the day. This actually causes your AC to work harder to bring the temp back to a desired temp.

Tip # 3 Yearly maintenance. Ask your AC company of they provide a maintenance program where they will inspect your AC unit twice per year. This will ensure your AC unit continues to run efficiently.

ME GUSTA TACOS A FRESH, MODERN APPROACH TO MEXICAN CUISINE ARTICLE ZAK LODHI PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED BYÂ ME GUSTA TACOS 20

Green Valley Lifestyle | July 2018

CHRIS CONNORS AND LI SUN, CO-OWNERS OF ME GUSTA TACOS, HAD VERY DIFFERENT STARTS TO THEIR CULINARY CAREERS. Chris got into the restaurant business relatively late. He started his career at The Mirage. One of the VIP customers of the casino offered Chris a job to be GM of a group of sushi restaurants in San Diego. From there he fell in love with the industry. After three years in San Diego, Chris then accepted a position at Mix at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. After gaining invaluable experience, Chris was ready to start his own restaurant. He opened a franchise and ran it for four years.

Li, on the other hand, was born into the restaurant industry.

“I think I was peeling shrimp at my dad’s restaurant when I was 3 years old.” she says.

Li grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, and his family still owns a successful Chinese restaurant in Marin County.

“I was always in the restaurant, I would do my homework there, and then I would help out my family,” he says.

After high school, Li attended UNLV and graduated with a hospitality degree. Li opened Crepe Shack and Waffles in 2010 and sold his concept in 2015. Chris and Li met while working at Mandalay Bay. Li was a cabana host with Chris’ wife, Stacy.

When they both sold their restaurant within months of each other, they wanted to team up and create something in the city that was new and fresh. Enter Me Gusta Tacos. With healthier ingredients and newer cooking styles, Me Gusta Tacos is lighter, cleaner and more vibrant.

“There was a lack for modern Mexican cuisine in this city,” Li says. “Everything was traditional style – lots of lard, lots of grease, and most used cheap meats and produce.”

With charbroiled carne asada and Korean kalibi, the menu is both diverse and healthy. Chris says his favorite is the carnitas tacos with homemade salsa verde.

“When our carnitas comes out of the oven after six hours of being slow-cooked in a garlic and cinnamon rub, the cooks have to keep me away,” Chris says. “I can eat that entire thing.”

Chris and Li hope to expand their business, but they want to take their time and do it right.

“Pick good locations and grow slowly,” Li says.

“Our primary focus will always be food quality and maintaining high service standards.”
