April showers bring May flowers May 1st-May 7th

There are some events coming up this first week of May. The last week of April brought rain, which is good for a desert. I have found a few events that are going on this coming week. Also this week is teacher appreciation week, so if you know a teacher show them some appreciation. I think they should be appreciated all year long, but that's because I am friends with so many and they have my kids for most of the day.

Sunday May 1st is also known as May Day, celebrate it as you may with your family or friends, or family and friends. I just heard on the news that May 1st is the local hotel and casino Stratosphere's 20th anniversary and locals can ride the elevator to the observation deck for free and then there's $20 2 person buffet and $20 all access ride pass. Sundays Firehouse Subs has kids' sandwiches for $0.99 when you purchase an adult meal and for dining in.

Monday May 2nd I am not aware of any events this day however Mondays I believe are kids eat free at a restaurant.
