Pole Fitness Studio owner and operator Fawnia Dietrich is a pioneer of modern pole-dancing fitness. She cut her teeth as a professional exotic dancer, learning the sultry art as she went along, like all the other dancers. She wondered why there wasn’t a place to learn these difficult moves and was motivated to start teaching. Soon after, she opened her own pole-dancing studio, something not common to the world of 1994, much like time-traveling hovercrafts. Fawnia has continued on as a force in the industry, producing the first instructional pole-dance video in 1998—followed by six more videos—and creating the pole-dance instructor-certification course. Thanks to her chiseled physique, she has also been featured in three spreads in Muscle & Fitness magazine.

She now leads a team of instructors in teaching a variety of flirty fitness styles, including burlesque, pole-, lap-, chair-, floor-, and dance classes. Each 55-minute class takes place in their spacious studio, where 17 poles stand ready to hold ladies aloft as they spin and practice complex inversions. An additional 11 poles can be found downstairs, should more space be necessary. Beyond the steamy dance classes, the instructors also helm more traditional fitness classes such as cardio kickboxing, salsa, yoga, ballet, go-go hip-hop and boot camp classes..

Shots ring out across the Wild Wild West field as players belly-flop behind hay bales and crouch-walk through the saloon. In a second field, shooters storm a castle and sprint past water towers, racing to the field’s center to capture the flag planted there. Those two battlegrounds present opportunities to strategize, and a third, smaller field—a war zone dotted with blue and red inflated obstacles—creates a fast-paced game that requires the victor to be fleet-footed and quick on the draw.

Five days a week, teams suited up in full facemasks and brandishing Tippmann marker rentals engage each other in battle across Las Vegas Premier Paintball’s three outdoor fields. The fields are also equipped with lights so the center can stay open for play on Wednesday nights, allowing players to battle without being subjected to the sun’s heat. For a change of pace, players trade paintballs for plastic BBs every third Saturday for airsoft matches. Additionally, paintballing groups of 10 or more can also reserve the field of their choice for birthdays, bachelor parties, or corporate team-building events.

The many stigmas surrounding the sluggishness and spitball susceptibility of school buses and public transit are rendered inane by the sleek comforts of Blue Groundways' buses. Each Blue Groundways bus is an indulgence-vessel on six wheels, offering the musicality of Sirius satellite radio, the connection of on-board WiFi, five-star service from friendly attendants, beverages to hydrate your journey, and the most recent movie releases played on a slick video system. Scheduled routes include a Friday ride that starts in Santa Rosa and travels along Route 42 to Petaluma and Sacramento before arriving in Lake Tahoe and then later in Reno, returning back home on Sundays. The San Francisco to Reno route leaves on Fridays and Sundays with return trips on Saturdays and Sundays, making stops in both Lake Tahoe and Sacramento.

The trained staff at Tan Las Vegas helps clients navigate three levels of UV beds and several spray-tanning options to craft a bronzing regime that best suits their skin type and desired results. UV tanning allows clients to build a base or maintain an existing tan in 12, 15, or 20 minutes. Automated VersaSpa booths alternate pigmented mists with drying jets to build a golden glow in less than one minute, with results that last for seven days—or longer if encased in amber. Technicians can also apply custom shades by hand with an airbrush system, which imparts a natural-looking, streak-free color that flatters bodily contours.
