Sam's Picks

Local Favorites

Part of living in Summerlin is discovering the incredible local businesses right in your backyard. Here are a couple of my personal favorites — spots I genuinely love and recommend to friends and neighbors.

Dental Care · Summerlin, Las Vegas

Springs Dental


As a dental hygienist for 16 years here in Las Vegas, Samantha knows quality dental care inside and out — and Springs Dental truly goes above and beyond. We're talking warm blankets, noise-canceling headphones, eye masks, sparkling or distilled water, and private suites designed to put you completely at ease. And the whole practice? Super clean — you notice it the moment you walk in. And Dr. Sheila? Absolute sweetest. She has this gentle, reassuring way about her that instantly puts you at ease the moment she walks in.

This isn't just a recommendation Samantha makes — it's where she takes her own family. After 16 years in the dental field, she trusts Springs Dental completely, and she still checks in on a few of her long-term clients who've found their way there too. For a lot of people the dentist can feel scary, but the entire team — from Dr. Sheila to the hygienists to the front desk — will make you feel so comfortable you might just forget you're at the dentist. It's that kind of place — genuine, welcoming, and exactly the standard of care Samantha would want for the people she loves most.

Food & Flavor · Summerlin, Las Vegas

Arbosana Olive Oil


If you love to cook — or even if you just want to take your salads and recipes up a notch — Arbosana is an absolute must-visit. This isn't your grocery store olive oil. We're talking pure, high-quality, packed-with-flavor oils that make you rethink everything you thought you knew about cooking fats.

The ingredients are clean, the sourcing is thoughtful, and the difference in taste is night and day. Quality, healthy, pure — every bottle is packed with real flavor that shines through in everything you make. And honestly, the people behind it are just as wonderful as the product. Owners Derek and Joanna are the sweetest, most kind people you'll ever meet — their warmth and passion show up in every conversation and every recommendation they make. It's one of those hidden gems that once you discover it, you wonder how you ever cooked without it. Seriously — stop by, do a tasting, and thank me later.
