A Tradition Like No Other — Now Open to You!

What started as an intimate Derby Day gathering among friends has grown into something bigger.

For years, this celebration lived inside our home—filled with laughter, signature cocktails, bold fashion, and the kind of energy you don’t find just anywhere. It became a tradition that people looked forward to all year.

Now, for the first time, we’re opening that experience to a limited number of guests.

Hosted inside Your Mom’s Italian Kitchen — our family-owned space — this experience is a natural extension of a tradition we’ve built over the years and are now excited to share.

Join us in person for the 152nd Kentucky Derby “Run for the Roses” Watch Party—fun, friends, and fast horses!

Get ready for the most exciting two minutes in sports! An epic day watching all the races leading up to the Run for the Roses. Cheer on the contenders, enjoy the atmosphere, and be part of a classic American tradition—reimagined.

🌹 Giving Back with Every Ticket 🌹
This year, Run for the Roses is more than a celebration—it's an opportunity to make a meaningful impact.
We are proud to support St. Jude’s Ranch for Children – Boulder City, with proceeds from this event benefiting their mission.
For over 60 years, they have provided hope, healing, and a safe, nurturing environment for abused, neglected, and at-risk children and young people in Southern Nevada

By joining us, you're not just attending an event—
you're helping create new chances, new choices, and new hope.

❤️ A celebration with heart.
🎟️ A ticket that gives back.

Each year, letter carriers across the country head out on their routes on the second Saturday in May to collect donations of non-perishable food items to benefit local food pantries. Since launching in 1993, the National Association of Letter Carriers’ annual Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive has grown into the nation’s largest one-day food drive, helping to fill the shelves of food banks in cities and towns throughout the United States.

Boulder City's letter carriers will collect nonperishable items placed at your mailbox on Saturday May 9, 2026 and deliver them to Emergency Aid of Boulder City. Donation bags will be delivered before May 9, but if you don't receive one, you can use any bag and leave it next to your mailbox for pickup.

Join us in helping to Stamp Out Hunger in Boulder City!
