Out of Office: The Aria
The AAA Five Diamond Award-winning Aria Resort and Casino remains one of the premiere spots on the Strip. Comprised primarily of two 50-story curvilinear glass towers, the stunning architecture is matched inside by an upscale, modern vibe, a subtle vanilla scent, and enough dining and amenity options to make it a one-stop destination.

Velocity Ford Bronco Blackout

Inside, upgraded leather and a Pioneer touchscreen with Apple CarPlay add comfort and tech, while a Gen III 5.0L Coyote V8 and 10-speed automatic deliver 460 horsepower. Wilwood brakes, coil spring suspension, and 17-inch Method Race Wheels complete a build that turns every drive into a statement.

Gear up for gameday with Nike's 2025 "Rivalries" collection—a new wave of NFL uniforms and merch that turn team loyalty into wearable culture.

Dropping first in high-stakes divisional matchups and staying in rotation for three seasons, the kits hit the sweet spot between fashion, hype, and legacy. Launching September 10, the collection spans jerseys, hoodies, shoes, and headwear worldwide—where team lore meets streetwear-level design.

Nike Air Diamond Turf Shoes
First dropped in 1993 for two-sport phenom Deion Sanders, the Nike Air Diamond Turf was engineered to handle both the football gridiron and the baseball diamond with equal dominance. Nearly three decades later, the cross-training icon returns with a street-ready update that stays true to its roots—durable leather uppers, Nike Air cushioning in the heel and forefoot, and the unmistakable midfoot strap that locked down Deion's game. Built for stability, traction, and all-day wear, the Diamond Turf bridges performance and heritage with everyday style, securing its place as one of Nike's most legendary silhouettes.
