http://thepersonalinjurydirectory.com/blog/palm-desert-accident-injury-lawyer/ A driving tour of Las Vegas’ Paradise Palms neighborhood organized by “Uncle” Jack LeVine of Very Vintage Vegas took the special group past early 1960s modern tract homes designed by the firm of Palmer and Krisel. These are the same architects whose designs for the Alexander Construction Company in Palm Springs have become world renowned for their classic mid-century look. Paradise Palms http://www.VeryVintageVegas is ground zero for the growing movement in Las Vegas to celebrate and restore the city’s surprisingly large inventory of postwar modern homes. Located not far from the Las Vegas strip, Paradise Palms shares a similar history of celebrity ownership as the Alexander Houses in Palm Springs. Some of Paradise Palms’ more famous residents include Bobby Darin , Johnny Carson , Joe Louis , Phyllis Diller , Debbie Reynolds , Shecky Greene , Juliet Prowse , and Dionne Warwick . Said Palm Springs Executive Director Nickie McLaughlin who organized the rendezvous, “We were overjoyed to meet so many fellow modernists who share the same passion for preserving our postwar modern heritage.” She added, “Las Vegas has become our new sister city for mid-century desert modern design." About Palm Springs Modern Committee The Palm Springs Modern Committee (PSMODCOM) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the appreciation and preservation of Desert Modern architecture and design.

Eat. See. Stay. at Palm Springs Desert Resorts Restaurant Week

Newcomers this spring include Dish Creative Cuisine in Cathedral City, Workshop Kitchen & Bar and Korakia Pensione in Palm Springs, the recently opened Mastro?s in Palm Desert, and Cork & Fork in La Quinta. Restaurant Week favorites will return as well including Circa 59 at Riviera Palm Springs (a personal favorite, thanks to Executive Chef Jesse Souza?s inventive seasonal menus); Copley?s on Palm Canyon; Sirocco; TRIO; Ruth?s Chris Steakhouse; Cello?s Bistro; Kaiser Grill; PS Follies; Indian Wells Resort Hotel; and the always fun Ace Hotel & Swim Club alongside its Feel Good Spa. Since 2007, Palm Springs Desert Resorts Restaurant Week Association ? led by members representing dozens of prominent restaurateurs and hoteliers ? has beautifully showcased the diverse dining and leisure opportunities in Palm Springs and the greater Coachella Valley. In just six years, this annual event has grown from fewer than 30 participating restaurants, hotels, and attractions to more than 100. In addition to Circa 59, the finest dining experiences I?ve personally had over the years include the garlicky Steak Sinatra at the charmingly old-school Johnny Costa?s Ristorante; the lightly-exotic Chilean Sea Bass at Tropicale Restaurant & Lounge; a never-fail assortment from the extensive tapas menu at Alicante, casual Spanish Mediterranean cuisine; a classic lasagna Bolognese with homemade pasta at Piazza Trilussa Ristorante; and some of the desert?s best Mexican food at Las Casuelas Terraza, where margaritas on the patio is a people-watching must on warm evenings. For lighter mid-day meals, I?ve discovered that you can?t go wrong with any of the organic and artisanal options served by King?s Highway at the Ace Hotel & Swim Club (in an old Denny?s space, of all things ? no Grand Slams here, thank God); Café Des Beaux-Arts for Chef Chino?s egg dish of the day or classic ham and cheese crepes with Béchamel sauce; and the freshly-updated classics at Escena Lounge & Grill. Escena Lounge is perhaps the best golf club food I?ve ever had in the desert, and definitely the coolest, thanks to its modern décor and sweeping view.
