LIFESTYLE LETTER

Style Is Self-Love, Not a Trend Report Style has never really been about clothes. Not entirely. I spent years in an industry built around style— first as a TV personality, then as a personal stylist. I’ve dressed people for the biggest moments of their lives: weddings, red carpets, career pivots, and those nervous first dates after heartbreak. And, of course, for everyday life, too. I learned that style is really about self-expression. Helping people discover themselves through what they wore often helped them fall in love with themselves. When their outward appearance finally reflected who they were inside, everything changed. Style is never just the outfit. It’s a representation of who we are, and how we choose to show up in the world. The best-dressed person in the room isn’t the one who gets the trend right. It’s the one who walks in like they belong there—long before anyone tells them they do. That’s the theme of our September issue. We’re moving past what’s “in season” to look at what it means to wear your own life with confidence. The neighbors and business owners you’ll meet in these pages didn’t build their style from a trend report. They built it from knowing exactly who they are and refusing to shrink that down to fit into someone else’s narrow idea of polished. Style is an act of reclamation. It’s an expression of self, not a performance for anyone watching. As we step into this new season, I hope this issue reminds you that you don’t need permission to walk into a room like you own it. You already do.

Southwest Blinds & Shutters created a solution. Their revolutionary new shade cassette features a patented, child-safe design requiring a smart two-step release to remove. The company stated this proprietary safety design is unique to its product line, making Southwest Blinds’ window treatments the safest on the market. Photography by Southwest Blinds & Shutters

TILT 23 STUDIOS CRAFTS BESPOKE LUXURY HOMES FROM INITIAL VISION TO FINAL, BREATHTAKING REALITY ARTICLE BY PAIGE CANDEE PHOTOGRAPHY BY STEPHEN MORGAN When it comes to luxury home building, true style is not just about selecting trendy palettes or importing expensive marble. It is a deeply personal journey of turning abstract dreams into breathtaking realities. Leading this creative charge is Amy Finchem Conley, Principal and Director of Design at TILT 23 Studios, a powerhouse design firm elevating custom home building into an art form. “With a passion for fine craftsmanship, TILT 23 Studios leads the design your dream high-end custom home from conception to completion,” Amy explains.

“Our professionals provide an intimate, thorough, and complete design package. We work closely with our clients through every phase of the home building process, from construction documentation and administration to the precise selection and procurement of furnishings and art that elevate the finishing touches of your luxury home.” For Amy, the architectural approach does not begin in a draft room, but with raw human emotion. “Beauty is an essential outcome of every home we design at TILT 23 Studios, but it is never our starting point. Rather, it is the natural result of something much deeper,” Amy shares. “Every project begins by understanding how a place should be experienced.”

Rather than jumping straight to floor plans, Amy focuses on the intangible, poetic details that will define a family’s daily life. “Before we begin thinking about form, materials, or floor plans, we ask what memories the home should create. How should it feel to arrive? Where should there be moments of pause, discovery, gathering, or quiet retreat? How should natural light change throughout the day? What views deserve to be revealed slowly, and which should be framed immediately? Those questions become the foundation for every design decision that follows.” Before a single pencil touches paper, Amy listens to the land itself. “The site is always our first collaborator. Its topography, CONTINUED >

climate, vegetation, views, and history inform the architecture rather than compete with it.” This deep-rooted connection to nature allows the studio to strike a flawless balance between timeless architecture and contemporary design. Instead of chasing fleeting design fads, Amy builds for the future. “TILT 23 Studios creates thoughtfully composed homes rooted in place, defined by clean lines, warmth, natural materials, and meticulous craftsmanship,” Amy says. “While we remain informed by the clarity and restraint of modern design, we are not bound by stylistic movements or fleeting trends. Instead, we selectively embrace innovations that enhance the way people live while rejecting design decisions driven solely by fashion.” This philosophy is showcased throughout her recent portfolio. Instead of highlighting a single project, Amy draws inspiration from an evolving collection of works—from a deeply personal family retreat focused on nostalgia to an innovative mountain home designed to mimic the forest canopy. Though these projects differ in scale, they are bound by a singular, exciting quest: “How can design create a deeper connection between people and the places they inhabit?” By pushing beyond the ordinary, Amy proves that true luxury lies in the experience itself. “These projects have reinforced our belief that the most memorable homes are not necessarily the most elaborate. They are the ones that engage all the senses,” Amy asserts. “They reveal themselves gradually through changing light, carefully framed views, natural materials, sound, texture, and movement.” CONTINUED >

S EP TEMB ER 2 0 2 6 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C O M / R E D R O C K

The studio takes a more collaborative approach than the traditional client-designer relationship, choosing instead to immerse themselves into each client’s lifestyle. “We believe truly personal homes are shaped by far more than an individual’s style,” Amy explains. “Instead of beginning with questions about style, we begin by understanding how our clients want to live. We explore their routines, traditions, the way they gather with family and friends, what brings them a sense of peace, what inspires them, and how they hope to experience their home five, 10, or even 20 years from now.” This partnership isn’t about simply saying yes; it’s a shared adventure. “Our clients come to us because they

value expertise, and we see collaboration as a process of discovery rather than simply validating every preference,” Amy says. Ultimately, Amy is redefining what it means to live in luxury. Her custom homes are not static showpieces; they are deeply personal extensions of the people who inhabit them. “In an industry often centered on aesthetics, TILT 23 Studios believes the true purpose of design is to enrich the way we live,” Amy concludes. “Every project begins not with a predetermined style, but with a search for meaning—exploring how a home can spark curiosity, foster connection, awaken a sense of wonder, and transform the everyday rituals of life into something more memorable.”

“NO TEXTILES THAT COME IN, LEAVE OUR FACILITY AS GARBAGE, NOT EVEN THREAD CLIPPINGS.”

As a board-certified physician, Nina Vallejo is no stranger to approaching her work with care and intention. When she founded the fashion design house Boneyard Star (boneyardstar.com), she brought the same meticulous, sustainability-focused mindset from her patient-centric medical practice to a longtime creative aspiration, turning it into a reality. “What you focus on is what you become,” Nina exclaims, and Boneyard Star is tangible proof of that. “We are here to help heal the planet, and therefore everything we do needs to aspire to be planet centric.” This is far from a trendy, eco-friendly belief to attract business; it’s a core mission carried out in every detail of each uniquely designed Boneyard Star piece. The evidence is in the single garbage bag of reduced waste that the design house discards every four to six weeks, a result of the brand’s continuous refining of their practices at the Las Vegas facility where no piece of fabric is wasted.

“WITH THE INTENT OF MAINLY USING EXISTING MATERIALS FOR OUR APPAREL, WE KNEW WE COULD NOT EASILY REPLICATE PIECES, SO INSTEAD, WE DECIDED TO REALLY LEAN INTO IT AND CELEBRATE EACH PIECE AS FASHION ART.”

“No textiles that come in leave our facility as garbage, not even thread clippings,” she emphasizes. “Every fabric gets used.” For Nina, who once dreamed of going to fashion school after learning to sew her own clothes out of necessity, there is immeasurable value in preserving existing material not only to protect the planet but also to honor fashion as a true art form. This concept, she says, is lost in an industry increasingly influenced by fast fashion. The consequences of a profit-over-passion model were impossible for Nina to ignore, and Boneyard Star was officially born. She credits two statistics with shaping the couturier that exists today. “One pair of jeans takes, and contaminates, about 1,800 gallons of water to make, and there are enough clothes on the planet right now to dress the next six generations. Not the

next six years, the next six generations.” After learning those facts, she says, “I had to do something.” Each step of the Boneyard Star design process is an answer to a call for help—a methodical system handcrafted with purpose and passion for both people and the planet. “With the intent of mainly using existing materials for our apparel, we knew we could not easily replicate pieces, so instead, we decided to really lean into it and celebrate each piece as fashion art,” Nina says. From donations of large fabric remnants from local ancillary businesses to salvaging unused textiles from upholstery companies, Boneyard Star operates on moxie. “We will go and rescue [textiles] from going to the dump, which saves [companies] dumping fees and the cost of paying an CONTINUED >

employee to load and unload them,” she adds. “A win for them, a win for us and more significantly, a win for the environment.” No two pieces in the Boneyard Star collection are alike, and Nina draws inspiration from the evolution of each creation. “One pair of jeans typically takes 45 to 80 hours of work from start to finish,” she says, “including the process of sorting materials, sketching, hours of cutting and playing with textile placement, pinning and ironing and sewing.” “We might attract people with the uniqueness of our garments, but we hope that when they see the details and feel the weight and quality of our pieces, they will want to have them in their wardrobe for many years to come, and maybe even pass them down to their future generations, like art.”

“WHEN THEY SEE THE DETAILS AND FEEL THE QUALITY OF OUR PIECES, THEY WILL WANT TO HAVE THEM IN THEIR WARDROBE, LIKE ART.” 38

DISCOVER YOUR DESIGN STYLE AT GREENLINE WEST ARTICLE BY SANDY SHAW DAVIS AND EMMA JOHNSON

TR ANSFORM SPACES WITH PREMIUM ARCHITECTUR AL FINISHES, CUSTOM M I L LW O R K , A N D W O O D C L A D D I N G DESIGNED TO REFLECT YOUR UNIQUE PERSONAL ST YLE Contemporary architecture is intentionally simple: modern, clean, monochromatic, minimalist, and some might say lifeless. It’s a blank canvas begging for something to be said. What is your story? What is your style? How will you breathe life into your space? Current woodworking and design trends show a distinct shift toward natural wood and wood products. Introducing wood into a cold space instantly adds warmth. Top trends include gold tones, biophilic design, saunas, wood cladding, and sustainability. Gold tones are replacing years of grey, black, and white. There is a growing demand for warm tones, honey finishes, gold fixtures, and wood cladding. Like a warm blanket after a long winter, these spaces are comforting and inviting. CONTINUED >

Biophilic design means bringing the outside in. It’s a connection to nature. Studies show adding wood cladding, plants, and organic materials is good for mental and physical health and wellness. Saunas have always been part of everyday life in Europe. This trend is making its way to the United States and is reflected in the movement to add wellness centers, yoga studios, and saunas to create spaces to relax and detoxify. Wood cladding creates warmth, reduces echo, and offers style to any space. Accent walls, ceilings, patio covers, and architecture panels can be subtle or bold, the choice is yours.

decades, there is renewed appreciation for the natural texture, color variation, and grain structure inherent in wood. For so long, modern design favored wood that was clear, straight grained, and plain. Wood is nature’s art. Pair an ultra-contemporary structure and add wood with character, color, and texture, and the juxtaposition is stunning. Sustainability considers the full life cycle of the products used. Designers and customers want products that are sustainable, renewable, and recyclable. Established in 2016 in the heart of Las Vegas, Greenline West was created to fill a gap in the market. While Las Vegas has an

“IN

TRO DUCI N G W O O D I N T O A C O L D S P A C E I N S TA N T LY A D D S WA R M T H .” abundance of resources for low-grade commodity materials, no one was offering high-quality architectural finishes. Dedicated to project work—including high-end residential and commercial work on the Strip—Greenline starts where others end. If a product can be found at a box store, that may be the path to take; but for those looking for products that transcend the ordinary, a visit to Greenline West is in order. The company sources the highest quality products from around the world and features items never seen before— products that tell a story. Greenline West turns Pinterest dreams into reality. Bring a vision, and the team will help bring it to life.

Finding a personal style begins with inspiration, but the most memorable spaces begin with understanding individual design preferences. Whether building a custom home, remodeling a favorite room, or simply looking for fresh ideas, knowing what inspires you makes every design decision easier and more intentional. That’s why the Greenline West Design Style Quiz was created: to help you discover the style that feels most like home. • Contemporary Minimalist: For those drawn to clean lines, open spaces, and simplicity with purpose. This style focuses on quality over quantity, allowing architectural details CONTINUED > S EP TEMB ER 2 0 2 6 | C I TYL I FE STYL E . C O M / R E D R O C K

MATERIALS THAT MATTER Greenline West offers a carefully curated collection of premium architectural products for residential and commercial projects including: • Architectural hardwood plywood, panels, and veneers by Greenline Industries • Elevations laser cut decorative panels • Natural veneers and IPIR Italian-engineered veneers • Specialty panels including melamine, marine grade, fire rated and Quattro-Ply (Italian light-weight poplar) • Custom mouldings and millwork in paint-grade and stain-grade wood • Thermory Modified Wood for cladding and decking for both interior and exterior applications • In-house custom finishing including priming, Cutek and Solvara Italian Hydro Oil • *Organoid organic wall coverings • *Renson Linarte powder coated aluminum cladding with LED-light and wood accents • *Decorative custom accent walls

and carefully selected materials to become the focal point. Wood introduces warmth without sacrificing the crisp, modern aesthetic. • Warm Modern: Comfort is just as important as style. Rich wood tones, layered textures, soft lighting, and natural finishes create spaces that feel inviting while maintaining a sophisticated, contemporary look. It’s a design style that balances luxury with livability. • Scandinavian Organic: Appreciates timeless design inspired by nature. Bright spaces, light woods, functional layouts, and honest craftsmanship create interiors that feel peaceful, uncluttered, and effortlessly beautiful. Every detail has a purpose, creating homes that are both practical and welcoming. • Biophilic Design: Functions as a connection between the individual and the outdoors. Natural materials, wood ceilings, architectural wall treatments, and sustainable products create environments that promote wellness while strengthening humanity’s relationship with nature. It’s a style centered around balance, health, and natural beauty. • European Contemporary: Design is about craftsmanship and refined luxury. Statement walls, rich textures, custom details, and premium finishes create spaces that feel curated rather than decorated. Every material is selected with intention, allowing each room to tell its own story. Of course, great design doesn’t always fit into a single category. Many of today’s most inspiring homes blend elements from several styles, creating spaces that are uniquely personal. The goal isn’t to fit into a box; it’s to discover the materials, textures, and finishes that best reflect who you are. That’s where Greenline West comes in. Since 2016, Greenline West has partnered with architects, designers, builders, and homeowners to bring exceptional projects to life. While every project is unique, they all share one thing in common: a desire to create something extraordinary. Everything the company does is built around three core pillars:

1. Architectural panels: Create striking feature walls and ceilings that become the focal point of every room. 2. Custom millwork: Brings one-of-a-kind visions to life through beautifully crafted architectural details tailored to each project. 3. Cladding: Enhances both interior and exterior spaces, adding natural beauty, depth, and lasting performance while creating a seamless connection between architecture and nature. What truly sets Greenline West apart, however, isn’t just the products it offers—it’s the relationships it builds. Greenline West believes exceptional customer service should be just as carefully crafted as the materials it supplies. From providing samples and design guidance to helping solve challenges throughout the

building process, the team is committed to making every project a success. Pride is taken in listening first, understanding each client’s vision, and delivering solutions that exceed expectations. No matter where the Design Style Quiz leads, the goal remains the same: to help you create spaces that are authentic, inspiring, and built to last. Because at Greenline West, it isn’t simply about providing materials—it’s about helping clients tell their story through thoughtful design, exceptional craftsmanship, and products that transform a house into a home. Take the Design Style Quiz and visit the showroom to discover the possibilities. Your style is waiting, and Greenline West is here to bring it to life. S EP TEMB ER 2 0 2 6 | C I TYL I FE STYL E .

style starts in the closet STOR AGE SOLUTIONS THAT ELEVATE DAILY ROUTINES INTO EFFORTLESS, BOUTIQUE-INSPIRED ENVIRONMENTS ARTICLE BY HEATHER WHITSITT | PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOSE ONTIVEROS VELV

I NSP IR E D BY | HO ME + D E SIGN

The first room many people visit each morning isn’t the kitchen or the living room. It’s the closet, setting the tone for everything that follows. Led by Owner and Lead Designer Alfredo Argulles, and his brothers Alesandro and Emanuele, Custom Closet Systems is a family-owned and operated Las Vegas company that has earned a reputation for creating sophisticated storage solutions that balance beauty with practicality. Each project begins with an understanding of how the homeowner lives, resulting in spaces that feel natural, refined, and distinctly their own. As Alfredo explains, “Style isn’t just about how something looks; it’s about how it functions in your daily life. What sets us apart at Custom Closet Systems is our refusal to use a one-size-fits-all approach. We treat

every closet as a blank canvas and a highly personal reflection of the client.” Rather than starting with measurements alone, Alfredo begins by learning how each client moves through their day, a philosophy that shapes every design. “When I sit down with a client to design the ‘perfect’ closet, I don’t just count their shoes, I ask them about their morning routine,” he says. “Are they rushing out the door to early meetings? Do they prefer to see everything at a glance, or keep things tucked away? The perfect closet is a seamless blend of Las Vegas luxury and effortless organization. We combine high-end aesthetics with smart ergonomics so that every time they walk in, it feels like stepping into their own private boutique.” CONTINUED >

Beyond beautiful finishes, the company’s guiding purpose centers on improving daily living. As Alfredo explains, “Our mission is simple: to transform chaotic spaces into areas of calm and elegance. Our core values are rooted in integrity, precision craftsmanship, and hyper-personalized service. We live and work right here in Las Vegas, so building lasting relationships based on trust with our neighbors means everything to us. If a design doesn’t genuinely improve a client’s daily life, we haven’t done our job.” What began with custom closets has grown into a fullscale home organization studio, with Custom Closet Systems now creating everything from flawless wardrobe suites and home offices to garages, pantries, and media centers that reflect the character of the home. Technology also plays an essential role in the experience. Detailed 3D renderings allow homeowners to explore every

detail before construction, ensuring the finished area reflects their style and needs. Even during industry-wide supply challenges, the team prioritized dependable local supplier relationships to maintain quality and consistent timelines without compromising their commitment to stellar workmanship, while plans include expanding the use of sustainable materials and smart-home features throughout its designs. Technology and craftsmanship may continue to shape the future of the company, but the final moments of each project remain the most memorable. “Without a doubt, it’s the reveal moment,” says Alfredo. “There’s a specific look a client gets when they see their finished space for the first time. It’s a mix of relief and pure excitement. Knowing that we’ve taken a major source of daily stress and turned it into a beautiful, organized sanctuary is incredibly fulfilling.”

building the future Honoring five decades of Hispanic impact In 1976, Otto Merida and 50 forward-thinking business owners did something radical. They gathered to build a future that did not yet exist for Nevada’s Hispanic community. They weren’t just forming an organization; they were demanding a seat at the table. Today, that organization, the Latin Chamber of Commerce of Nevada, Inc., has grown into a powerhouse, representing more than 1,500 members and standing as one of the most influential business organizations in Southern Nevada. As it celebrates its 50th anniversary during Hispanic Heritage Month, we aren’t simply acknowledging an organization—we are honoring a legacy of persistence. For Peter Guzman, the Chamber’s current president, this milestone is far more than an organizational achievement. It is a deeply personal tribute. “None of us stand where we are today by accident,” Peter reflects. He speaks with reverence about Otto Merida, a man who spent decades knocking on locked doors and dismantling barriers. “Because he was willing to open those doors, I have had the privilege of walking through them.” Peter understands that a 50-year milestone offers a rare vantage point. It’s a place where you can appreciate the foundation built by

those who came before you while looking toward the horizon of what lies ahead. Rather than focusing solely on the past, he is using this anniversary as a launchpad for the future. The Chamber recently introduced LCC UN, Unified Nevada, an ambitious initiative designed to connect local entrepreneurs directly into the global marketplace. The goal is to move beyond the traditional role of business advocacy, positioning Nevada not only as a great place to start a company but also as a premier gateway for international commerce. “The 50th anniversary is the perfect time to look beyond celebrating our history and focus on shaping our future,” Peter says. “Today’s economy is global. Small businesses now have the capacity to reach international markets, attract foreign investment, and build partnerships that span borders.” For our readers here in Summerlin, the Chamber’s impact is visible throughout our community. Peter points to the Las Vegas Ballpark Peter Guzman, Mayor Shelley Berkley & Gov. Joe Lombardo

Otto Merida & Peter Guzman

as one example of that impact and a source of pride. “That stadium was a major priority for us,” he notes. “We made sure we were heard before the first shovel ever hit the ground.” Looking toward the next 50 years, Peter’s vision is clear: the Chamber must lead the charge rather than react to it. He is committed to expanding access to capital, championing workforce development, and helping local businesses integrate modern technology and AI. It’s a mission rooted in responsibility. “If Otto Merida’s generation built the foundation, our generation has the responsibility to build the future,” Peter explains. “My hope is that 50 years from now, the next president will look back and say we had the vision and courage to prepare Nevada’s business community for a new era of prosperity.” Jeremy Aguero & Peter G

For Hispanic-owned small businesses in our area that have not yet connected with the Chamber, Peter’s message is clear: Membership is not an exclusive club reserved for large enterprises. It’s an open invitation to anyone ready to grow. “The Latin Chamber is here for you, no matter where you are in your business journey,” he says. “Come to one event. Meet our members. Experience the energy firsthand.” Fifty years after those first 50 businesses joined forces, the Latin Chamber of Commerce is proving that it is just getting started. The next chapter isn’t simply about growth; it’s about setting a global standard for what a community can achieve when it moves forward together.

Transform your thirsty lawn into a

Water Smart wonderland! After years of watching his front yard soak up water (and money), Ronald Isaacs decided the time was right for a change. He converted his grass to drip-irrigated plants and trees through the Southern Nevada Water Authority’s (SNWA) Water Smart Landscapes Rebate Program (WSL). Isaacs upgraded over 1,800 square feet of grass with a colorful palette of water-saving trees and flowering plants, noting “I didn’t realize that my yard was going to be so much more attractive.” Isaacs began his landscape-conversion by enrolling at snwa.com. The WSL program offers single-family homeowners a cash incentive of $5 per square foot (up to the first 10,000 sq. ft.) of grass upgraded to water-efficient landscapes, and $2.50 per sq. ft. after that. Plus, he received an additional $2 per sq. ft. as a Las Vegas Valley Water District customer. After SNWA conservation experts conducted a site visit, he obtained approval for his project from his homeowners association. Then he hired an SNWA-certified Water Smart Landscaper to do the work.

SNWA is a not-for-profit water agency

Today, his front yard features colorful, waterefficient plants. He also had three new trees installed—and earned for $100 each through the SNWA’s Tree Enhancement Program. Isaacs has cut his water use in half and has advice for other homeowners considering a landscape upgrade: “You’ve got nothing to lose. It’s such a simple process.” For more information about the WSL and Tree Enhancement programs, including plant lists and sample landscape designs, visit snwa.com.

S T Y L E T H AT GI V E S B AC K A LOOK INSIDE THE AWARD-WINNING “ASSISTING LIVES IN LAS VEGAS THRIFT SHOP”

ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY KATHY TOPP

M UST SE E | L I FE + C ULTU RE

In a city known for luxury shopping and designer labels, a popular Las Vegas thrift shop offers fashion lovers the thrill of the find while making a meaningful impact in the community. Located at 6446 W. Charleston Blvd., the Assisting Lives in Las Vegas Thrift Shop (ALLV.org) is a destination for savvy shoppers seeking everything from everyday essentials to high-end designer labels. Unlike traditional retail stores, every purchase supports the nonprofit’s philanthropic programs that help local children and families in need.

“We get spectacular donations from the community,” said Mary Rautenstrauch, Thrift Shop Chair and one of the nonprofit’s more than 350 members who volunteer their time with Assisting Lives in Las Vegas. “We receive brand-new items with tags still attached, designer clothing, beautiful accessories and unique home goods. You never know what you’re going to find.” One of the shop’s most popular attractions is its Top Drawersection, a curated collection of premium brands and designer pieces. Member volunteers carefully examine every item, selecting only the best clothing, shoes and accessories. “Top Drawer is for higher-end brands and exceptional quality,” explained Darla Gustaitis, who oversees the section. “We inspect everything closely and make sure it looks nearly new. We want customers to feel like they’re getting something truly special.” The selection regularly includes sought-after labels such as Coach, Tommy Bahama, Chico’s, and Marc Jacobs. Shoppers have even scored Jimmy Choo shoes and Dior dresses. Patrons can often put together complete outfits, from clothing and shoes to handbags and jewelry, at a fraction of retail prices. The shop’s boutique atmosphere surprises many first-time visitors and is one of the reasons it has been named Best Thrift Shop by the Las Vegas ReviewJournal for nine consecutive years. “Shoppers are amazed by how clean and organized it is,” Mary said. That attention to detail has helped cultivate a loyal customer base. Some visitors stop by multiple times each week because “new” merchandise is put on the sales floor daily. Shoppers are also surprised to learn there are no paid staff members at the shop. “We’re here because we want to make a difference,” said Mary. “It comes from the heart.”

Revenue from the thrift shop helps fund the nonprofit’s philanthropic programs, including Our School Boutique, which each year provides thousands of Clark County School District students with a week’s worth of brand-new clothing during a special field trip to the nonprofit’s headquarters. “For the past 50 years, our members have shown up for students and families in this community. Every day, we make an impact in the community where we live,” said Assisting Lives in Las Vegas President Lilian Xu. The Thrift Shop also works to ensure donations benefit the community in multiple ways. Items that cannot be sold in the store are distributed to partner organizations serving families, youth, and individuals experiencing hardships. “We try not to throw anything away,” Darla said. “Knowing that donations continue helping people throughout our community is one of the things I love most.” “We care about our community and it shows,” says Mary. “When people shop here, they are helping their neighbors.” The Assisting Lives in Las Vegas Thrift Shop is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., welcoming shoppers looking for one-of-a-kind finds while supporting local children and families.

CRAVING FRENCH CUISINE WITHOUT THE PASSPORT? OHLALA FRENCH BISTRO DELIVERS AN AUTHENTIC TASTE OF FRANCE CLOSE TO HOME

C HE F ’S SE LE CT ION | FOOD + BE VE RAGE

“If you are craving a chic restaurant, look no further than Ohlala.” At the corner of Rampart Boulevard and Lake Mead Boulevard, Ohlala French Bistro offers a chic Parisian dining experience in the heart of Summerlin. Once past the black curtains, guests are welcomed by shimmering chandeliers, a glassed-in wine cellar and inviting bar, cozy seating, stylish black and white broadly striped wallpaper. Framed rustic cow head artwork adorns one wall, while photos of famous Parisian landmarks including Moulin Rouge, the Paris metro and the Seine River, cover another. The menu celebrates classic French cuisine while introducing diners to flavors they may be discovering for the first time. Begin with the Escargots nestled with plenty of garlic, shallots and butter brimming in parsley or the Warm Crusted Pistachio Goat Cheese and onion jam made with the North African spice blend ras el hanout. Another standout is the Baked Brie accompanied by roasted garlic and warm bread.

For the main course, choose from a perfectly seared Filet Mignon, Sole Meunière finished with brown butter, garlic, capers, and lemon, or finely dressed Beef Tartare served with crisp French fries. Save room for dessert. Indulge in a decadent Chocolate Mousse with salted caramel and chocolate sauce; a delicate Lemon Meringue Tart; classic Vanilla Crème Brûlée; or a unique pot of rich Chocolate Liégeois. That’s just a sampling of favorites that diners travel to Ohlala from near and far. Pricing is approachable, sides are included, and portions are generous. If you order wine by the glass, expect a generous pour. If you order a bottle, know that the founder/owner and Chef Richard Terzaghi has personally curated the wine list. The servers are happy to recommend the perfect pairing for your meal. You are likely to meet Chef Richard as he visits many tables. Regulars are often greeted by name and warm hugs by members of the attentive staff. Ohlala has cultivated a devoted following, but there’s always room for one more at the table. If you are craving a chic and stylish restaurant to try, look no further than Ohlala French Bistro. The restaurant is closed on Mondays, and open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. Weekend brunch is served from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., followed by dinner from 4 until 9 p.m. Find this dining-award winning restaurant at 2120 N. Rampart Blvd, Suite #150, Las Vegas, NV 89128.
