📰 In the news

Single hub for emergency calls: Officials say the Red Rock Communications Center will be built at West Deer Springs Way and North Shaumber Road, funded by 911 surcharge, to improve response and coordination among agencies — see planned location and funding.

Van-life adventures reshape tourism: Alex Honnold has launched a streaming series spotlighting Red Rock Canyon near Summerlin, plus Great Basin National Park and Virginia City, to boost Nevada travel, set for the Outside network — read the full story.

Major relief for ratepayers: State regulators approved refunds for over 100,000 NV Energy customers after over 20 years of overcharges. Many were billed single-family rates in multi-family homes. Checks are expected within 120 days — get all the details.

Nothing prepares you for a pet emergency: I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache. As soon as we got home, I signed up for Spot. It’s super affordable – and reimburses up to 90% of the bill.

Highlights this week:

• Parent City Wide hosts monthly food distribution
• Run Lucky 5K/10K/Half for Ava’s Avengers
• Experience Herman’s Hermits starring Peter Noone
• You’re probably overpaying for car insurance

🏆 Gold and silver are heating up

Together with our sponsor American Hartford Gold

Gold just posted its strongest run in decades… and the momentum is carrying into 2026. Silver has become one of the most talked-about assets as investors look for ways to stay ahead of market volatility.

While many are still sitting on the sidelines, others are quietly repositioning.

If you’re wondering whether you’re missing something, AHG has a free guide explaining what’s driving the renewed interest… and how investors are approaching precious metals right now.

It’s free and worth reading before the next move.

🫶 We got your back

Wing night, unlocked: With sauces from mellow mild to full‑tilt nitro, plus garlic parm and BBQ, Distill – A Local Bar serves classic, no‑nonsense wings. A grill finish adds smoky edges. Summerlin’s easiest excuse for wing night, served without fuss and with plenty of flavor.

Pro-level glam, local: When you need a last-minute brow gel or a full kit refresh, L Makeup Cosmetic Store carries 40+ pro brands, SFX staples, brushes, and lashes. Get in-house or on-location makeup, plus hands-on workshops, so you nail the look.

Your Summerlin swing spot: TPC Las Vegas serves Red Rock views, PGA TOUR pedigree, and public access, turning nine or a full 18 into an easy escape. When you want crisp conditions minus Strip chaos, this Summerlin track quietly delivers and keeps the vibe high.

Thinning hair? It only gets worse: A few months ago, I noticed my ponytail getting thinner. I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, etc.) but mostly just hoped it would fix itself… until I learned that active follicles can permanently go dormant if you don’t do something about it. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn more about my favorite online options here.

It may feel like an invasion of privacy, but unfortunately It’s the new normal. Whether you’re joining a committee, selling something locally, dating again, or just meeting new neighbors… people are going to look you up online.

Like it or not, the internet has a way of surfacing past mistakes and outdated information that no longer reflects who you are.

Thankfully, there’s a really easy way for you – or someone you care about – to clean up outdated results that no longer tell the real story. Learn more here.
