I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again. We could ALL use a break in this economy. Luckily, the Las Vegas Arts District is going to do just that.

The possibilities are endless when you visit the arts district, but breaking the bank doesn’t have to be an option. Monday through Friday from 11 am to 1 pm, metered, on-street parking will be free in the 18b Las Vegas Arts District.

According to 8NewsNow, "All on-street meters encompassing Charleston Boulevard north, Commerce Street west, Third Street east, and Oakey Boulevard south, will be free." The goal of the program is to provide free parking during typical lunch hours, but if you decide to stay later than 1 pm, you can use the Flowbird app to add time to your meter remotely so you don’t have to put your fun on hold.

Unfortunately this is just a trial for the program, so it could end after the city evaluates its success. I’m crossing my fingers that it stays forever, and maybe they will extend the hours!

If you’re looking for an exciting outing to finish off your summer or kick start your fall season, the arts district is the perfect place to do so. Discover something new and exciting, or simply go to unwind and relax. The DTLV Arts website is a great place to go if you want to plan your next adventure. Some possible activities include art galleries, shops, coffee, bars and nightlife. Also, be sure to check out First Friday, a monthly arts & cultural event that presents local artists, musicians, food trucks, makers, and more.

You might simply be looking to quickly grab lunch and take advantage of the free parking. Or you might be wanting to plan your next evening out. No matter the case, one thing is certain. The already fabulous Las Vegas Arts District is actively taking steps to improve each and every experience for its visitors.

Las Vegas: Pumpkin Spice Lattes, Fall-Inspired Drinks Start Tomorrow

Pumpkin spice and fall flavors during this August heat? Count us in.

If you're hankering for a toasty-flavored drink that reminds you of crisp autumn air then we have splendid news for you.

Dunkin' Donuts will be rolling out its fall menu tomorrow Aug. 17, according to its website.

The donut-and-coffee chain will bring back some of its signature and fan-favorite items on the fall menu.

According to Dunkin' Donuts' newsroom, "fall isn't just a season, it's a lifestyle."

Items that are returning tomorrow include:

    Along with this, the donut chain will unveil NEW items as part of their fall menu. These new items are the Blood Orange Dunkin Refresher and the Nutty Pumpkin Coffee.

    Dunkin' will also have great deals for this upcoming season. Starting Aug. 17 until Sept. 13, you can enjoy a $3 medium Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew or a Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte. 

    However, we know there's a group of people who absolutely refuse to order anything except Starbucks' cult-classic pumpkin spice latte. So you may be asking yourself, "When will Starbucks release their PSL-flavored drinks?"

    Well, the answer isn't as clear cut.

    According to EatThisNotThat.com, internet sleuths swirled around rumors that Starbucks will release their fall menu items on Aug. 30. But, these are -- as said before -- simply rumors, and the coffee giant hasn't released an official statement regarding the drop date for the pumpkin spice concoctions.

    Despite this, you can still indulge in a PSL-flavored drink. Although we don't have a clear date for the actual Starbucks stores, grocery stores will start carrying fall-flavored items. And like Dunkin', Starbucks had to add new contenders in their fall-flavor roster.

    New flavors will include Starbucks® Pumpkin Cream Nitro Cold Brew and Starbucks® Salted Caramel Mocha Flavored Coffee, according to a press release.

    And don't worry. You can still expect the original flavors to be sitting on store shelves. Seasonal favorites include  Starbucks® Pumpkin Spice Flavored Coffee, Starbucks® Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew Concentrate, Starbucks® Pumpkin Spice Flavored Creamer, Starbucks® Pumpkin Spice Flavored Non-Dairy Creamer, and Starbucks® Iced Espresso Pumpkin Spice Latte. Enjoy!

    Babe are you alright?
