November is the month to be thankful… and there are plenty of great things to do in Vegas this month that should make you thankful that you live in such a great city! If you haven’t checked out first friday lately, there is no better time. The monthly art festival downtown has seen some dramatic improvements since it was recently acquired by some of our favorite Zappo’s heavies. And make sure you make room in your calendar for the Great Craft Festival at Cashman center this weekend, as well as the Aviation Nation Air Show, which is free to the public!
