Mini bio

How it started.

Before VegasStarfish, Jennifer worked in journalism and dealt poker. When COVID shutdowns interrupted her gaming career, she decided to build a business of her own. She began making videos to encourage people to return to Las Vegas and discover its small businesses, restaurants, hotels and attractions.

Finding her audience.

Her short videos connect trip planning with a local’s view of the city, covering both budget and luxury options. By 2022, The Vox Agency listed her among Las Vegas food and beverage creators to watch. Her travel advice later reached The Drew Barrymore Show, including segments about Los Angeles and Portland in 2023.

Beyond the feed.

Jen also publishes a Las Vegas vacation guide and offers concierge support by text. Her January 2026 guide covers hotels, fees, food, shows and activities. TikTok’s creator feature describes VegasStarfish as a full-time business built around her local knowledge.
