This weekend, President’s Day, Valentine’s Day and an infamous day in mob history all collide. Plus I even found an event that with have you thinking of St. Patrick’s Day. Take advantage of free entry fees, a celebrity meet and great plus a couple of opportunities to give back.

Share the Love to Support the USO
Friday-Sunday, February 12-14th noon-5 p.m.
USO Las Vegas will have a “Share the Love” outpost near the entrance of the Grand Bazaar shops off Las Vegas Boulevard. Guests can visit the outpost for the opportunity to share their words of gratitude and love by writing a note to servicemen and women who are not able to spend Valentine’s Day with their loved ones.

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area Free Entrance

Enjoy our unseasonably great weather this President’s Day weekend with our region’s natural beauty and treasure, Red Rock Canyon.
 
St. Baldrick’s LepreCon
Saturday, February 13th 9 a.m. to noon
As a two-time shavee, St. Baldrick’s is a charity close to my heart. While the shaving events are still a month away, this Saturday you can support the cause at their 5K and expo held at Town Square. There is a nominal fee to register for some events, but where else can you witness what is hoped to be the largest gathering of Leprechauns on record.

Meet Mario Lopez

For fans of Saved by the Bell and DWTS, what better way to kick of a romantic weekend than with a meet and greet and bottle signing with Mario Lopez at the Lees Liquor at 4230 S Rainbow Blvd.

The Mob Museum celebrates its Fourth Anniversary with a free day for Nevada residents (with I.D.) and buy-one-get-one for non-locals.
