Celebrate our Anniversary Month and Win Tickets to Spies in Disguise

Give Thanks and Grateful this November

By Donnah Opelac, publisher & editor November 27, 2019

The month of November marks the anniversary of Downtown Las Vegas Macaroni Kid. The first newsletter was sent in November 2017. Now in its second year, I couldn't be more grateful and thankful for all blessings that come my way. 

What is Macaroni Kid?

Macaroni Kid Downtown Las Vegas is a free website and weekly e-newsletter that provides:

  • information to find your family fun with events, activities, giveaways and more;
  • resources on entertaining, educating, shopping, and caring for children;
  • how to parent with a purpose with informational articles, giveaways, travel and product reviews, deals, crafts, recipes and more on;
  • connecting the libraries, schools, rec centers, community centers and all of the wonderful organizations and businesses that enrich our children, families and communities.

Why did I get involved with Macaroni Kid?

"As a mom in Las Vegas, I know how difficult it has been to keep track of the fun and enriching events and activities available for kids. I'm extremely excited to bring Macaroni Kid to our community and look forward to the opportunity to support the many cultural, not-for-profit, school and just plain fun things there are to do in Las Vegas."

More About Me:

I am a mom of two, and we are a family ALWAYS on the go - local, national, and international  destinations for cool things to do with my family. I love traveling, coupons, deals, freebies and giveaways. I love joining contests too. And some winnings too. I scored free trips abroad and local places as well.

What are in store for your subscribers?

"In addition to family events and activities, I also provide online family resources on informational articles, giveaways, travel and product reviews, deals, crafts and recipes that encourage readers to visit our website frequently."

Where did the Macaroni Kid come from?

Macaroni Kid Downtown Las Vegas is actually part of a larger network, there are Macaroni towns all over the country. The name came from the three founders, who realized that all kids are "macaroni kid' - macaroni is kind of a universal kid food and kid image. It somehow communicates happy kids.

What are your plans for Macaroni Kid?

"I want Macaroni Kid to become an increasingly valuable resource for all families in the Las Vegas Strip and Downtown Las Vegas. We will continue to provide useful, super-current information each week and help support our community."

How to submit articles and events?

 In theaters Christmas Day

 Twentieth Century Fox presents a Blue Sky Studios production, "Spies in Disguise," an animated spy comedy-adventure set in the slick, high-octane, globe-trotting world of international espionage. Super spy Lance Sterling (Will Smith) and scientist Walter Beckett (Tom Holland) are almost exact opposites. Lance is smooth, suave and debonair. Walter is...not. But when events take an unexpected turn, this unlikely duo is forced to team up for the ultimate mission that will require an almost impossible disguise-transforming Lance into the brave, fierce, majestic...pigeon. Walter and Lance suddenly have to work as a team, or the whole world is in peril. "Spies in Disguise" is directed by Troy Quane and Nick Bruno from a screenplay by Brad Copeland and Lloyd Taylor and a screen story by Cindy Davis inspired by the animated short film "Pigeon Impossible" by Lucas Martell. The film stars Will Smith, Tom Holland, Rashida Jones, Ben Mendelsohn, Reba McEntire, Rachel Brosnahan, Karen Gillan, DJ Khaled and Masi Oka. "Spies in Disguise" is produced by Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, and Michael J. Travers, p.g.a., with Chris Wedge and Kori Adelson serving as executive producers.
