Links We Like
Living in Las Vegas, I get asked all the time, “What’s your favorite fill-in-the-blank”.
So, I thought it would be a good idea to post some in our "Links We Like" section, your go-to resource for insider tips and recommendations.
You will find some of our favorite Sportsbooks, restaurants, interesting places to go and things to do, as well as some things geared just for us locals.
If you have a recommendation, please pass it along. We will be updating this regularly.
If you try one of the spots, we love to hear about it so send us a Tweet at @EVPrecision, and don't forget to tell them that “John sent you”!

Vegas Web Design
Justin Davis and Vegas Web Design have proven to be outstanding technical partners— extremely responsive, reliable, knowledgeable, and honest. We found ourselves in a very challenging situation, and Vegas Web Design stepped in and bailed us out quickly and fairly. Highly recommended. In addition, this is the only business that was not chosen because of their location. We just think they're the best at what they do anywhere.
