Nikki, Dining Expert

Q and A with Nikki

Why/when did you move here?
Fine dining, the best shopping, shows and world-class hotels all within a 10-minute drive, who could ask for anything more?

When did you start at VEGAS.com, and what does your job entail?
I started in January 2008. I'm a Content Developer. I maintain the dining section which means I basically get to eat dinner for a living and then write about it afterwards. I also update the golf and recreation pages.

What is your favorite thing about working at VEGAS.com?
Everything! I LOVE my job. Perhaps my favorite thing was the 6-foot chocolate fountain that miraculously appeared in the Contact Center for our staff meeting.

What are your hobbies?
Piano, violin, cooking, dining, hiking, boating, shopping, skiing, going to concerts and shows, measuring the height of floral displays inside hotel lobbies – you know, the usual.

Give us a random fact about yourself
I lived here for about two years before and liked Vegas so much, I decided to move back! More random? I was at Nicky Hilton's wedding reception a few years back over at Little Buddha at the Palms. The all-star guest list proceeded to sit down at the table next to me and my friends. Just another day-in-the-life here in Las Vegas.
