The useful layer between “What’s on?” and “We’re going.”
Las Vegas has no shortage of information. The hard part is joining it up: a show to its dates and venue; a venue to its resort; a resort to its restaurants, bars, maps, and nearby places; an idea to something a visitor can actually book or save.
VegasNearMe is good because it treats those relationships as the product. A traveler can begin with tonight’s entertainment, a hotel, a cuisine, a family activity, or a local guide and keep moving without rebuilding the trip in another tab.

Explore the system
These are live product surfaces—not demo links. Together they show the breadth of the guide and how its information model connects the city.
Shows and events
Date-specific Las Vegas listings connect performances to showtimes, venues, categories, and ticket options.
Hotels and resorts
Resort pages bring rooms, shows, restaurants, bars, maps, and practical destination details into one place.
Dining
Browse Las Vegas restaurants by dining style and cuisine, then move into pages with menus, hours, location, and booking details.
Things to do
Activities range from free attractions and family options to tours, shopping, games, wellness, and unusual Vegas experiences.
Curated discovery
Topic hubs and locally written guides turn a large directory into useful starting points for a particular trip or interest.
Plan and carry
Travelers can move from research to live hotel pricing, then take the complementary VegasNearMe app around the city.
Clear to people. Legible to agents.
VegasNearMe pages describe concrete entities—shows, venues, resorts, restaurants, attractions, dates, prices, addresses, opening hours, and categories—and link those entities through visible relationships.
Specific pages. A named place or show has its own stable destination.
Useful context. Pages explain where something is, when it happens, and what sits around it.
Multiple ways in. Date, venue, resort, cuisine, activity, and guide pages support different visitor intents.
Action follows discovery. Tickets, reservations, hotel booking, maps, rides, saving, and sharing sit near the information.
A living city needs a living product.
XenoCode works across the Rails and Hotwire platform: backend and frontend product development, APIs, synchronization, partner integrations, personalization, editorial tooling, and operations. The job is not simply publishing pages. It is keeping a changing city coherent across every surface people use.
