LAS VEGAS
For the LateNight Lovers
If you and your permanent plus-one aren't afraid to embrace your kitschy side, the walk-in wedding capital of the world should absolutely be on your post-reception radar. Sure, the city may be synonymous with shenanigans, but first, what's wrong with that, and second, it's also an A+ destination to indulge and bliss TF out after a job well done in the "I do" department.
Where to Stay
If you wanna be in the middle of the action, opt for a spot right on the Strip, like the hella-luxe Nobu Hotel Caesars Palace (yes, like the Nobu the Kardashians are always tagging) or the Four Seasons Las Vegas, where you should definitely call ahead for the Saturday afternoon tea. If you'd rather escape the lights come bedtime, Green Valley Ranch is a resort-style oasis just a 15-minute drive from the iconic "Welcome to Vegas" sign.
Where to Eat
For an excuse to wear that fahncy dress in the back of your closet, head to é by José Andrés for a modern take on classic Spanish dishes. You could also catch dinner and a water show at Prime Steakhouse, a classic spot with a patio overlooking the famous Fountains of Bellagio. Last, toast your nuptials at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant, where you can slurp escargots atop the life-size replica.
Where to Play
Forgo your hangovers and take your love to new heights (sorry, thought this was The Bachelor for a second) with Vegas Balloon Rides for a stunning view of the Mojave Desert. If you'd rather stay on solid footing, visit the Neon Museum for incredible selfies among the city's antique neon signs or hit the ground hungry with Secret Food Tours, where you can snack on treats often overlooked by tourists and sightsee at the same damn time.

THE NEW C-SUITE 2024
Progress. It’s a word that, in 2024, gets thrown around a lot. Especially when it comes to representation across all sorts of roles at all sorts of companies, including, crucially, at start-ups. Yet...people of color—and specifically women of color—still don’t often get the chance to even enter the conversation. Over the past few years, less than 1 percent of venture capital funding in this country has gone toward women of color entrepreneurs. (Making matters worse, funds that are geared toward supporting these women have become targets of anti-affirmative-action groups, forcing at least one to shut down entirely.)
Revenge Dressing
Model and content creator Olivia Ponton is giving you permission to bring everyone who's ever wronged you to their knees with these simple yet very effective styles.
HOTTER Than DRAGON FIRE
It’s very likely that no matter where you are right now, there’s a copy of Fourth Wing nearby. Probably one of Iron Flame too. Both books, by romantasy queen Rebecca Yarros, topped every bestseller list—and absolutely ignited BookTok, spawning a rabid fandom that cannot get enough of badass heroine Violet Sorrengail and her relationship with fellow dragon-rider Xaden Riorson. Honestly, what’s not to love? There’s extreme adventure. Absurdly high stakes. Wildly hot sex. And the promise of a lot more, starting right here, with this exclusive first excerpt of the series’ third book, Onyx Storm. Friends, get your daggers ready. (IYKYK. If you don’t, prepare to get obsessed.)
