About the Authors

The writers for the Girl’s Guide of the Sinning in the City guidebooks are Tiffannie Bond, Kris Gundersen, Melissa Martin, and Ginger Meurer.

Kris Gundersen has lived in the Las Vegas Valley for only three years, but feels right at home in the desert. Raised in Mesa, Ariz., she jokes that she moved to Las Vegas to cool off.

Kris loves playing tour guide to the tons of friends and family who tend to visit someone living in Las Vegas. She enjoys taking them to quiet places on the Strip where they can enjoy the city views, talk and enjoy a top-quality cocktail.

Kris admits gambling a little more than she should. “A rum and Coke in one hand and a soft 17 in another, there’s nothing like it. It’s Vegas, baby!” She’s as fresh to the city as the latest scandal, but Melissa Martin is making an adventure out of it. Although Las Vegas is probably the last place on Earth Melissa ever thought she would move to from Omaha, Neb., that hasn’t stopped her from surpassing many natives and becoming one of Vegas’ most “in the know” residents.

Bachelorette parties at Jaguars and racy billboard advertising have caused this Creighton University graduate’s eyes to widen, but after a full day of shopping and a well-poured raspberry Stoli and 7 decorated with lime, she has no trouble calling Vegas her own.

“What do you know about sinning?” was the response Tiffannie Bond heard when the idea for this book first came up in the View newspaper newsroom. In the movies, she would’ve had a quick-witted response that would’ve left mouths agape and heads turned. Instead, Ginger Mikkelsen gave her one later: “You don’t have to be a Nazi to write about Hitler.”

Aside from bikini bull riding, Tiffannie has gone to every extreme to share an insider’s view of her hometown. And it was hard work. She had to become accustomed to foreign ideas familiar to tourists. The UNLV graduate grew up assuming you had to waltz through a casino to see a movie, and what the hell do you mean by “last call”?

There is nothing about Hitler in this book, although people say the Imperial Palace used to look like a swastika from the air. Now that’s an insider’s look. Go figure.

Every Las Vegas adventure needs a designated driver. We decided to let ours write.

More Mary Ann than Ginger (and never Mrs. Howell), Ginger Meurer was born in the Bible belt of Tennessee and raised with the “saints” in Utah. So, sinning didn’t come easy.

Ginger was dragged to Las Vegas kicking and screaming a handful of years ago by her now ex-husband. She wised up. Divorced. And decided to import a new husband, Josh Meurer, from Nevada’s safest neighbor, Utah.

Her Las Vegas escapades were experienced during a brief span between husbands. She’s ready to share her wild child phase, although really brief, with visitors who plan to spend as much time exploring Las Vegas as she has.
