Distill Opens Second Location in Southern Highlands
Residents in the south can enjoy the fun of the popular Summerlin hangout Distill in their very own neighborhood when it opens its second location on Saturday, July 19 in Southern Highlands. Guests of Distill will be treated to the same fun atmosphere, house-made cocktails, handcrafted food and VIP gaming club that makes Distill a popular local hangout and the perfect place to get together with old friends or meet new ones. A ‘Home Away from Home,’ the new Distill location will be located at 4830 W. Pyle Ave. in the popular Southern Highlands area, off of Decatur Blvd., just south of Silverado Ranch Blvd.
The new Distill location in Southern Highlands is the latest creation from the owners of Remedy’s Tavern and Elixir, and the third addition to their popular restaurant portfolio in the last year alone. The successful expansion is due the philosophy of winning over guests with modern, yet intimate atmospheres; friendly and knowledgeable staff members on hand 24 hours a day, seven days a week; comfortably priced artisan cocktails and delicious culinary twists on classic tavern fare. The Southern Highlands location will also boast a non-smoking dining area open to diners of all ages.
Guests will be able to choose from a variety of specialty cocktails including house-infused coffee whiskey and orange cinnamon whiskey; the Distiller’s Delight with Buellit Whiskey, Cointreau, fresh lemon, Sprite and orange bitters; or the Distilled Margarita with Casa Noble Blanco Tequila shaken with agave nectar and fresh lemon and lime. Distill also features an extensive wine list and a variety of imported or domestic draught or bottled beer. Patrons can also satisfy any craving with a classic, fresh menu available 24 hours a day including house-made Avocado Eggrolls and Mashed Potato Bites; fresh burgers and wraps, including vegetarian options; “Not Round Pizzas” including calzones and strombolis; and classic dishes like Beef Tenderloin Tips and Roasted Bourbon Barbeque Chicken. With two Happy Hour food and drink specials a day from 3 p.m. – 6 p.m. and 3 a.m. – 6 a.m., Distill will hit the spot with prices designed for total enjoyment.
For the gaming aficionados, Distill will be home to 15 brand-new 20” LCD gaming machines carrying more than 55 poker, blackjack, slot and keno games providing the perfect place to kick back and play. By joining the VIP Gaming Club, players will enjoy slot promotions, exclusive parties, scratch cards and $10,000 lotto bucks every hour.
If catching all the action of the most popular sports teams while sitting in a cozy king-size chair is a necessity, Distill will be the neighborhood’s ‘front-row’ destination and with 18 high-definition televisions. If chalking up the cues and racking up for a game of nine-ball, striking down some pins or “hitting the links” are top priorities Distill will feature two pool tables, Silver Strike Bowling and Golden Tee Golf.
Similar to the Summerlin location, Distill will feature a state-of-the-art juke box with access to thousands of songs that is easily accessed through smart phones to supply the soundtrack to any occasion. Scheduled events, promotions and specials will delight all Distill patrons.
Both Distill locations are part the new frequent dining loyalty program, RED Loyalty, joining sister properties Remedy’s Tavern and Elixir – a Local Lounge. The Red Loyalty program gives guests the opportunity to earn points on dollars spent for dining. Patrons receive one point for every dollar spent on qualifying purchases including all dining, gift cards and gifts when checking out with their loyalty card. Enrollment is free and available at any location. Points can be used for discounts on dining, gear and gift and for exclusive destination dining invitations. All RED Loyalty participants receive $10 upon online registration, birthday rewards, online access, email notifications and members-only offers and promotions. Offers are subject to change.

Adoption fees reduced to $17.76 for dogs and cats 1 year and older in celebration of Independence Day
In celebration of Independence Day, The Animal Foundation is reducing adoption fees for all dogs and cats 1
year and older to just $17.76 beginning Thursday, July 3 through Sunday, July 6 during the Star Spangled
Pettacular adoption special. More than 250 animals qualify for the discounted adoption fees, which include
spay/neuter, microchip, up to date vaccines and more.
“If you’re looking to open your heart and home to a furry friend, visit us this weekend to meet some of our
incredible, adoptable pets,” said Meghan Scheibe, marketing and public relations manager for The Animal
Foundation. “In addition to finding incredible homes for our wonderful animals, we hope that this special
will help to create space for the new animals we’re anticipating receiving as a result of pets becoming lost
on July 4th.”
More pets become lost on July 4 than any other day of the year, and the days immediate following the holiday
are the highest intake days of the year for The Animal Foundation and shelters across the country. On average,
The Animal Foundation takes in 110 new animals every day. On the days following Independence Day, the daily
intake can double.
The Star Spangled Pettacular Adoption Special is valid July 3-6 at The Animal Foundation’s adoption centers:
● Campus Adoption Center (655 N. Mojave Road, Las Vegas) open 11 am-7 pm daily
● PetSmart Charities Everyday Adoption Center (286 W. Lake Mead Parkway, Henderson) open Monday-Saturday, 9 am-8 pm,
and Sunday 9 am-7 pm (closing 6pm on July 4)
In addition to the Star Spangled Pettacular adoption special, The Animal Foundation is reducing the cost of microchips
to $10 (50% off) now through July 6 at its Low-Cost Vaccine Clinic to encourage pet owners to protect their pets in the event
they become lost on July 4 or in the future.

Michael Tatalovich Fundraiser
Dear Friends and Community Partners,
As 2014 rolls along, we are often reminded of how precious and vulnerable time is. As most in our community are familiar with the Josh Stevens Foundation, and their “Be Kind” message that inspires us all to spread kindness and heartfelt acts of love, some are unaware that the Coronado High School class of 2014 would have been Josh’s graduating class. The motto of the foundation from its start has been, “Genuine kindness born in the heart of a child deserves celebration.”
It is with this celebration in mind that I would like to tell you about one of Josh’s classmates, Michael Tatalovich. Michael is also the true epitome of kindness, love, generosity, and hope. Michael is a senior at Coronado High School, graduating with honors, with the admiration from staff and faculty alike, and with lots of love and respect from his fellow students. In May of last year however, Michael and his family’s world was turned upside down. Michael was a stand-out athlete and a member of the State Champion Coronado men’s volleyball team, when a pain in his hip led him to consult his doctors. The diagnosis: Ewing’s Sarcoma, an aggressive bone cancer that had infiltrated his femur. After months of treatment, chemotherapy, multiple surgeries and blood transfusions, and ultimately a partial hip replacement at 17 years old, Michael is battling to make a full recovery. However, all of this treatment has left the family with a huge financial burden and the stress of huge medical bills.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Michael since he was just an elementary school boy, being raised in the neighborhood that our families still reside in today. I can say without hesitation that he has always been one of our family’s favorite neighborhood kids. Michael is always upbeat, always polite, always respectful, always there for his family and friends whenever needed. He’s just your all around wonderful American boy. I am proud and honored to be writing this letter on behalf of a wonderful young man, his family, his friends, and the entire community.
We are asking for your help and support. We are holding a fundraiser for Michael and his family on May 5th, 2014 at 6pm at the Coronado High School men’s volleyball game vs. Basic HS. We are asking for donations of money, gifts/gift cards for drawings during the game, time to be volunteered, or any other way you could possibly help the cause. All donations will go to help ease the burden of Michael’s cost to fight cancer. This community has been incredible in raising great kids like Michael and Josh; kids that truly understand what it means to be loving and kind. Now we want to help as a community, to ensure that Michael has what he needs to win his toughest battle yet. Please find it in your heart to donate and to come out and celebrate a remarkable young man.
If you are unable to attend the fundraiser PLEASE make all donations at http://www.gofundme.com/7n4u9k.
Checks can be mailed to: 2311 Tilden Way Henderson, NV 89074 Questions: 702-274-8271
Yours Truly,
Dr. Gene & Lori Garlick
