Q and A with Kristine
Why/when did you move here?
I moved here in 1994 after a particularly harsh winter. I wanted to escape from the cold weather and went to the other extreme.
I'll take the heat over the cold any day though.
When did you start at VEGAS.com, and what does your job entail?
I started working at VEGAS.com as a content developer in 2001. My job entails going to shows, hotels, restaurants, nightclubs,
etc. and writing reviews so that customers know what to expect when they go to these places. I also make sure all of the content
online is accurate and up-to-date.
What is your favorite thing about working at VEGAS.com?
It's a fun, relaxed atmosphere and the people are great - everyone gets along well and works well together.
What are your hobbies?
Movies, music, reading, skiing. Is shopping a hobby?

Give us your top insider tips about Vegas
- You can avoid a lot of the traffic on the Strip by learning some of the roads that run just behind the Strip like Koval Lane
and Frank Sinatra Drive. A lot of hotels have back entrances off of these roads, which makes parking way easier.
- If the weather is nice, head to the Town Square shopping center on Las Vegas Boulevard. It's an outdoor mall with great shops and several bars and restaurants with outdoor patios.
