Tropicana Las Vegas Wine Mixer

We've stayed away from Las Vegas since last March and if there's one thing that can bring us back ... it's a wine fest! We hope you guys can join us along with wine experts from Tropicana Las Vegas, E&J Gallo, Rodney Strong, Chateau Ste Michelle, Kendall-Jackson, and other wine brands as we toast to the future!

Before we go further, I know that many of you have concerns about social distancing and mask wearing based on pre-conceptions that you might have about Vegas and casino resorts in general. I share those concerns as well and wouldn't be promoting this if I wasn't comfortable about going there myself.

What I learned from talking with the team at Tropicana was that unlike other resorts around the country - mask ordinances are actually being enforced in Vegas because casinos fall under the casino board ... not just local health agencies. Casinos don't want to risk losing their license so Vegas has apparently been pretty compliant wit these guidelines and are focused on keeping visitors as safe as possible.

Additionally, unlike other resorts on the strip, Tropicana isn't a wild party resort with night clubs so it will be easier to find space to spread out while exploring the property.

Ultimately this is a challenging time to be traveling but we're excited to attend this event at the Tropicana Las Vegas.
