Surreal Lights & Glitter Bright
Join us in the sprawling cluster of bright lights amidst the stark, high desert mountains of Las Vegas!
The fast-paced lifestyle of Vegas quickly creates a surreal and hyper-realistic experience.
While the Vegas Strip is filled with glitz and glimmer, the surrounding desert holds a striking and sweeping beauty of its own.
Come explore the glittery city and the barren, yet beautiful, desert.

Style Guide
The Little Black Dress is more an idea than any one specific style or piece of clothing.
Which is why women or men can wear any style of ubiquitous attire that, with the right accessories, fits any occasion.
We do want to keep to the black color, which adds a touch of universal sophistication.
Every person should own a simple, elegant black dress (women) or suit (men) that can be dressed up or dressed down depending on the occasion.
For example, the LBD can be worn with a jean jacket and cowboy boots for a casual concert. It can also be worn with more formal accessories for a formal event such as prom or family wedding.
This type of attire, whether for men or women, is intended to be long-lasting, versatile, affordable, and widely accessible.
For the ladies, the type of attire can be a short or long dress, pants suit, jumper or jumpsuit; something form-fitting, frothy, flowy, or layered. The piece could also have interesting architectural elements like straps or cutouts, structured shoulders or slit cape sleeves.
Once you choose your basic piece, it needs to be accessorized. Style down your little black dress with some cowgirl, grunge, punk, or goth elements, or dress it up with more classy or bling-y accessories.
Guys, also, need attire that is universally adjustable as the women's little black dress.
For men, this is a classic three-piece suit in navy, charcoal or black. A three-piece suit, of course, is a pair of pants, jacket and tie.
For more formal occasions, the suit could be accessorized with a coordinating vest, man's dress watch, pocket square, and sunglasses.
To make it more casual, swap out the button-down shirt for a basic, well-fitting charcoal tee. Keep the jacket, but loose the tie and add a pair of Nike shoes.
Or really make it more comfortable with a vest over a rolled-sleeve button-down shirt with suspenders.
For guys, the attire could be worn dressed up for a school dance or dressed down for a job interview.

Nelsons' October style description coming soon.
Nelsons' October Style Board
The Cliff Walk style is all about the ethereal.
Think "other-worldly" -- like you've just landed on Mars -- and you decide to take a walk through the cliffs --- in a tulle skirt or a dress shirt and jeans.
For shoes, wear something that will allow you to walk on rough ground - but not something obnoxiously uncoordinated with your outfit. Black laced boots (Docs or combats) would be good.
For ladies, pare down your Nelsons' October look and keep the outfit simple and ethereal. Remove the bling and accessories, but consider adding about 6-8 yards of extra chiffon fabric or tulle that coordinates with your dress or skirt.
For the guys, go with a solid-colored button up shirt with rolled sleeves (no graphic tees, though). For pants, well-fitting, relaxed, comfy dark-wash jeans (not ripped, frayed, or oversized). If you added a long, billowing trench coat, that would be amazing.
