Dog Friendly Las Vegas: Pet-A-Palooza

It’s better to be lucky than good, and we got extremely lucky with the timing of our trip to Las Vegas.  This past weekend a local radio station, Mix 94.1, held its annual Pet-A-Palooza event.  Pet-A-Palooza has everything you would expect at a top-notch festival, but it’s even better because you’re encouraged to bring your pet along for the fun.  Local businesses and non-profits set up tents where you can buy pet-friendly products or learn more about adopting a pet.  Both local and national acts take to the stage throughout the weekend which is pretty amazing considering that tickets are only $8.  Eko and I stopped by on Saturday afternoon to check out Pet-A-Palooza for ourselves.

I’m not sure that I know exactly what was going on at this tent, but I’m not sure that I want to know

It was another brutally hot day, so the watering hole was the place to be

Eko created his own cool down station underneath a caterer’s truck

We’ve seen some inexplicable things on our adventure, but this sign takes the cake

The highlight of the day was watching the dock divers in action

I couldn’t have imagined a better way to cap our great week in Las Vegas then Pet-A-Palooza.  It was definitely one of the coolest events we’ve visited, and I’m hoping that as we get into summer there will be a lot more outdoor events that are pet friendly.

Vegas, it’s been fun, but it’s time for Eko and I to cash out.  Next up, Phoenix.  Be sure to send along any suggestions to [email protected] if you know the area!
