Deanna Rilling

As part of Las Vegas Weekly's Team Hangover, Deanna Rilling is a self-proclaimed "pseudosocialite" who isn't afraid to rock comfortable shoes or the same outfit twice at Vegas hot spots. In addition to reporting on nightlife and electronic-dance-music for the Weekly and Vegas Magazine, Deanna covers the Sin City local music beat and has been involved in the scene for over 10 years. She typically gets at least one drink spilled on her a night when out and about and usually gets her feet stepped on as well, but it's all in a day's work and she wouldn't have it any other way.
