This morning I attended a friend's birthday party at The Artful Potter on Eastern and Pebble near the Regal Collonade movie theater. This was not just any friend's birthday party, she's six. I was the oldest guest without a child of my own in attendance by at least 20 years and then some. As I sat happily painting my piece of pottery with the other kids I thought to myself, this would make an awesome date. I guess this way of thinking says a lot about who I am and my childlike view of the world. It also speaks to the type of guy I want to date. If a man can't appreciate the small things in this world then he doesn't belong in my life.
Dating like a child. What a concept, right? I am not suggesting that on a date a person should act like a child (for some this just comes naturally), instead I am suggesting looking at the world through a child's eyes when picking your next date spot. So, here are some ideas to consider for your next date experience.
The Artful Potter
Embrace your inner artist and show-off your creative side while painting pottery that you can take home after it has been glazed and fired at The Artful Potter studio. Studio time is an $8 flat fee per person and you can choose from bisque items to paint ranging from $3 to $75. The Artful Potter has two locations - one in Green Valley and one in Summerlin -- and is open 'til 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 'til 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
The Pinball Hall of Fame
Whether you are on a date or not, if you live in Las Vegas I highly recommend checking this place out. Harness your competitive spirit and go back in time in the 4,500 square-foot Hall of Fame which houses a collection of pinball machines ranging from the 1950s up to the 1990s. There is no admission to get in and depending on the game, costs between 25 and 50 cents to play each game. The Pinball Hall of Fame is located on the north west corner of Tropicana and Pecos and is open 'til 11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 'til midnight on Fridays and Saturdays.
The Springs Preserve
The Springs Preserve is the site where water was first found in Las Vegas and is one of my favorite spots in Southern Nevada. With hiking trails, museum exhibits and cool events going on all the time, there is always something fun to do and not just for kids. If you're hungry there is a Wolfgang Puck Cafe inside the park and it lives up to the chef's reputation it's named after. General admission for adults is $9.95 if you are a Nevada resident and the park is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.
Rides & Roller coasters at the Stratosphere
If your a thrill seeker or just an excuse to have some fun the Stratosphere Hotel and Casino offers three rides that won't let you down: Big Shot, X-Scream and Insanity the Ride. Tickets packages for all three rides can be purchased for under $30 or under $15 for individual rides.
Sky Zone
Sky Zone is an indoor trampoline arena. Have a blast during open jumping hours or join a class. Sky Zone has one location in Las Vegas and is open 'til 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Tickets are $12 per person/per hour.
