You probably want to hear about the best haunted houses in Las Vegas, but none of them include beer or rainbows, so why waste your time?

The only thing I regret about this past weekend is not being at the Downtown Brew Festival or Las Vegas Pride, but here’s what I can confirm.

1. DOWNTOWN BREW FESTIVAL

This past weekend was the sixth annual anniversary of the largest beer festival in Las Vegas, Downtown Brew Festival. Isn’t that incredible? The sixth. YEAR. Who knew? Clearly, the 4,000 attendees who sold out the festival knew. I’m late as hell. They had access to nearly 200 craft beers from more than 60 breweries. The beer festival also had food, live music, and a silent auction was added this year to help donate to the official Las Vegas Victims’ Fund.

2. XENXEN SANCTUARY FOR LAS VEGAS PRIDE FESTIVAL

Las Vegas PRIDE Festival brought out big local support for the LGBTQ+ community including XENXEN Sanctuary. To show their support for celebrating diversity, the yoga studio offered the Las Vegas community a one-hour yoga class at PRIDE for free. It was lead by Dray Gardner, owner of XENXEN. And I, missed out on one incredible versatile weekend.

Any chance you guys wanna repeat?
