Tasty Teste Tacos
We've been drumming up excitement for the Rocky Mountain Oyster Fry all week! On Tuesday we had the chance to join our friends at Alice Reno for their Taste Test Tuesday segment where they got to try Men Wielding Fire's teste tacos. The results? A perfect 10/10! The crew couldn't get enough of our (as they so generously named them) fiery balls!
We hope we see you this Saturday for one of the biggest St. Patrick's Day celebrations in the West. Our lineup includes the annual parade, St. Paddy Made Me Do It Saloon Crawl, Kevin Farley at Piper's Opera House and, of course, the Rocky Mountain Oyster Fry! If you've had any reservations about tasting the testicles, let this clip be proof that our chefs know what they're doing! So, are you ballsy enough?

Women of the Comstock #2
In Virginia City, the Women of the Comstock have been the unsung heroes shaping our history. Since the late 1800's the ladies have been pioneering businesses and culture in our community. Check out the link below to see how the Women of the Comstock have shaped the history of Virginia City and how they continue to shape it to this day!
Learn more about the Women of the Comstock!
https://visitvirginiacitynv.com/women-of-the-comstock-2/
In Virginia City, 55% of businesses are owned or managed by women. In fact, most of our saloons and eateries are owned by women, so when you pull up a seat at the bar or dine in one of the town's restaurants, chances are it's run by one of the 'Women of the Comstock' as we like to say.
And that's only one facet of the role women play in Virginia City! In both our past and present, women have pioneered some of our many marvels, including establishing St. Mary's and so much more. They're pioneers in their own right and we raise our glasses to the people that make our community as historic and special as it is for both locals and visitors.
Stay tuned for more highlights on the 'Women of the Comstock' this Women's History Month and check out the link below in the meantime!
