    He Put Flyers on 3,000 Cars a Month Until Allegiant Stadium Called | Steve, Mr. Fries Man

    Steve printed 3,000 flyers a month and put them on car doors outside Allegiant Stadium for three years. Then the stadium called him, and he almost let it go to voicemail because he thought it was spam. Steve is the owner of Mr. Fries Man Las Vegas. He grew up in Gardena, learned to cook at 11 because he was tired of TV dinners, and spent years in Vegas nightlife at the Bank inside Bellagio and five years at Drai's. When the pandemic closed the clubs, he filed the paperwork on a restaurant instead. It took ten months to open and he paid rent the whole way. In this episode: why loaded fries work as a main dish, the flyer system that still beats social media, the two rounds of tasting against a dozen restaurants at Allegiant, the Kool-Aid that everyone remembered, employing at-risk kids through YAP, the patio and beer and wine coming to Flamingo in January, the Mr. Fries Man sports bar he wants to build, and the autobiography he is releasing December 3rd.

    She Bought a Dessert Shop She Had Never Heard Of | Creamberry Las Vegas

    Len spent seven months getting a group home deal to the finish line. In January the bank walked away. A week later she was searching "business for sale" and found Creamberry, the Las Vegas shop behind the cotton candy burrito, a dessert she had never heard of and had certainly never eaten. She bought it anyway. What sold her was not a revenue figure, it was one line in the listing about an invitation to Dubai. Then came the part nobody posts about: dark walls, two employees left, a two week handover, and month after month of wondering whether payroll and rent would clear without dipping into savings. She walks Jack through growing up in her parents' shop in the Philippines, leaving nursing, building written systems before menus, finding a copycat in Florida and trademarking "home of the original," and what she actually wants five years out. We get into: 🌯 What a cotton candy burrito is, and how it gets built 🍦 Why rolled ice cream outsells the thing that went viral 💼 Buying an existing business versus starting from scratch 😮‍💨 The first week, and crying in the middle of it 💵 Making payroll as the real measure of a business 🍭 The mobile cart and the catering side 📓 Vision boards, and reading your goals every morning Follow Creamberry: @creamberrylv Follow the show: @jack_greenberg_group Vegas Local Living is hosted by Jack Greenberg of the Jack Greenberg Group, huntington & ellis, A Real Estate Agency, Las Vegas.

    Nobody Goes to the Bar for the Alcohol | Most Replayed Moment

    What does it actually take to run a small business — not the version people imagine? In this Most Replayed Moment from the Vegas Local Living Podcast, I sit down with Chris "Tater" Gutierrez, co-owner of PROWL and Stray Pirate in the Las Vegas Arts District, for the part of our conversation that had nothing to do with cocktails. Tater has spent more than 20 years in the Las Vegas bar industry. In this stretch he breaks down what people get wrong about owning a busy bar, why the work starts long before a guest walks in, and what he tells anyone thinking about opening their own place. We get into the honest stuff: why a partnership works better when nobody has the same skill set, why anything worth doing turns out to be ten times harder than you planned for, and why the people who make it aren't the smartest ones — they're the ones willing to keep going. We also talk about: 🍸 Why a packed bar is not a cash cow 📦 500 SKUs, and why inventory is an all-day job ⏰ The 40+ hours that happen before anyone gets served 🤝 Why partners should have different strengths, not the same ones 🪑 "Get out of each other's way" — letting your team run 💔 Why people lose spouses over small businesses 💸 Why chasing a quick buck is the wrong reason to open one 🧠 "Don't live in yesterday's knowledge" 📈 Staying in business 20 years vs. doing the same thing for 20 years 💪 Realizing what you're actually capable of carrying 🍹 Why nobody actually comes to a bar for the alcohol One of my favorite parts of this conversation is when Tater says that if you know something new today, that's the new rule — and it made me look hard at my own business. I've been in real estate 22 years, and the agents who stall out aren't the ones who lack talent. They're the ones still running the same playbook they wrote a decade ago. 📍 PROWL – Cocktail Hideaway 1323 S. Commerce St. Las Vegas, NV 89102 🏴‍☠️ Stray Pirate 1321 S.

    What started as an idea for coffee and flowers out of a single van has become one of the most recognizable small businesses driving around the Las Vegas valley. On this episode of Vegas Local Living, I sit down with Rena, owner of Florena Coffee & Flowers, to hear how she built a business with no storefront, no fixed address, and a customer base that follows her wherever she parks. Rena shares where the idea came from, why she chose a van instead of a lease, and what the build-out actually took, the parts nobody sees from the outside. Today Florena serves coffee and fresh flowers across the valley at [markets, events and private bookings], turning what could have been two separate businesses into one. We also talk about: ☕ How Florena Coffee & Flowers got started 🚐 Why she chose a van over a traditional storefront 💐 How coffee and flowers ended up under one roof 🔧 What the build-out really took 📍 How people find her around the valley 🎉 Booking Florena for events and weddings 💡 What she'd tell someone starting a mobile business 🌵 The realities of running a small business in Las Vegas ❤️ The regulars who track her down every week 🚀 Where she wants to take Florena next One of my favorite parts of our conversation is how simple she makes it sound.

    From a Garage to 8 Million Books: How Lisa Habighorst Is Changing Nevada

    What started with books, a garage and a desire to help local kids has grown into one of Nevada's most impactful literacy organizations. On this episode of Vegas Local Living, I sit down with Lisa Habighorst, Co-Founder and CEO of Spread the Word Nevada, to hear the incredible story behind the organization and how it grew from a grassroots idea into a statewide movement changing children's lives through literacy. Lisa shares how her career as a teacher helped prepare her to lead a nonprofit, what those early years looked like working out of homes and storage containers, and what it takes to operate a nonprofit at this scale. Today, Spread the Word Nevada serves children across Nevada through programs that put books directly into their hands and homes, provide reading mentors, and help parents introduce literacy at an early age. We also talk about: 📚 How Spread the Word Nevada got started 🏠 The years Lisa spent running the organization from home 👧 Why owning a book can mean so much to a child 📖 The importance of letting children choose what they want to read 🏫 The literacy challenges facing Nevada schools ❤️ Why volunteers are so important to the organization 🤝 Their Books & Buddies mentoring program 👶 How Readers in Training reaches children from birth to age 5 💼 Why a successful nonprofit still has to be run like a business 💰 The realities of fundraising and operating a major nonprofit 🚀 Where Lisa hopes to take Spread the Word Nevada next One of my favorite parts of our conversation is hearing just how many different ways people can help. You can donate books. You can volunteer to clean and prepare books. You can work in the warehouse. You can become a reading mentor. Or you can financially support the mission. Spread the Word Nevada is also celebrating its 25th anniversary with a simple goal: $25 can help provide a child with their own home library of eight books.

    Faith, Family & Starting Over: Desiree Steward’s Inspiring Journey

    In this episode of Vegas Local Living, I sit down with Desiree Steward for one of our most personal and inspiring conversations yet. Desiree is a Las Vegas native, wife, mother, breast cancer survivor, successful real estate professional, and someone whose story proves that the hardest chapters of your life don't have to define where you end up. We talk about her 17-year career in advertising, her transition into real estate, being diagnosed with breast cancer shortly after getting her real estate license, her faith, nearly 10 years of sobriety, raising a family while building a career, overcoming imposter syndrome, and what happened when she finally decided to go all-in on real estate. Desiree also shares what she's learned about balancing motherhood and ambition, finding strength through adversity, and why she believes it's so important to build a career around something you genuinely love. Today, Desiree helps everyone from first-time homebuyers to luxury clients and investors throughout the Las Vegas Valley. For her, it isn't about the price of the home, it's about helping people through one of the biggest decisions of their lives. If you're going through a difficult chapter, considering a career change, trying to balance family and business, or simply need some motivation to keep going, this is an episode worth watching.
