📰 In the news

Kiosks and upgrades coming: Caesars Sportsbook opens its first Summerlin location today at The Resort at Summerlin, with a ceremonial first bet by Deryk Engelland and a watch party for Golden Knights vs Sabres — get all the opening details.

Inside the drink lineup: Popular boba spot Brew Tea is now open in Centennial Hills, as owner Sou Ngo shares the menu and ingredient sourcing, just a short drive from Summerlin — see what’s on the menu.

New chapter for community hub: North Las Vegas will take over SkyView Multigenerational Center after the YMCA contract ends March 31. Reopening details are pending, but camps, swim classes, and senior services should continue — learn what changes and continues.

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.

Compare rates for free: The national average for car insurance is around $175/month. Paying more than that? Same, so I did some shopping around and ended up cutting my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably overpaying too — here’s the comparison tool I used.

Highlights this week:

• Run Lucky 5K/10K/Half for Ava’s Avengers
• Rock out for International Women’s Day
• Experience Herman’s Hermits starring Peter Noone
• Save on self-care during the CVS Epic Beauty Sale

🏆 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

Twirl-worthy weeknight fix: When a pasta craving hits, La Strega delivers handmade, silky noodles and big flavors, think cacio e pepe or rigatoni Bolognese. Cozy neighborhood energy makes dinner feel like a treat, all comfort, zero fuss, the kind of night you want on repeat.

Vintage treasure hunt: Craving a hit of nostalgia? Keep It Classic at Downtown Container Park stocks handpicked vintage clothing, collectibles, and retro video games. Unearth a jacket with stories, a tee with attitude, or that VHS you swear you rewound… probably.

Cold therapy, no drama: At Rio Tan & Cryotherapy, bounce back with quick cryo after Red Rock runs, plus red light, compression, and HydroMassage for a full reset. It’s easy, local, and low-fuss… perfect for a midweek recharge without turning life into an ice bath saga.

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.

Someone Googled you this week 👀

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.
