What, When, Where: Playing Your Cards Right

By Erin Marvin

Happy Memorial Day! If all has gone according to plan, I am in Las Vegas, spending a last few hours relaxing by the pool or testing my luck in the casino before flying back to reality at the end of the day. I’d tell you more about my weekend plans, but you know what they say about Vegas: what happens here, stays here.

Of course, that doesn’t have to be the case. Below are some fun (and not too tacky) ways to bring Vegas-inspired kitsch into your own home. Most of the pieces are small, so they don’t require taking a gamble with your overall décor scheme:
