Hi Henderson, we made it to Thursday!
In today’s fun-for-grown-ups edition: Chronic potholes get a $23M fix, Foreigner’s orchestral hits, and a golf cart parade + plenty of reasons to put on real pants this week.
Today’s sponsor, Spot Pet Insurance, is something I wish I had before a late-night emergency vet visit left me with a $10,000 credit card bill. It’s cheaper than Netflix… and means you never have to choose between your pet and your savings. It takes less than 5 minutes to sign up – get started here.

📰 In the news
Chronic potholes prompt big fix: Henderson’s notorious Stephanie Street will get a nearly $23 million overhaul starting in June, with pipeline replacements and fresh pavement from Galleria to Windmill, wrapping up in September 2027 — get all the project details.
Two-phase plan for pets: Clark County approved $3 million for a temporary animal shelter at Silver Bowl to ease overcrowding. Construction begins this year, with a $39 million facility planned near Tropicana and 215 — see what’s planned next.
Beauty meets new beginnings: Le’Host Beauty Store in south Las Vegas received a $10,000 Clark County grant to expand and hire participants from Hope for Prisoners, boosting services for neighbors seeking hair loss solutions — read the full story.
Gold & silver are hot: Coming off gold’s best year since 1979, the momentum is carrying well into 2026 with silver remaining one of the most talked-about assets. Curious why they’re back in focus? American Hartford Gold has a free guide that explains what’s happening and how people are approaching it today. It’s free – and definitely worth a read.
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:

🐾 One pet emergency can cost $10,000+
Together with our sponsor Spot Pet Insurance
Nothing prepares you for a late-night emergency at the vet. I learned that the hard way after charging $10k to a credit card for life-saving surgery on my cat, Miss Stache.
From the initial exam fee just to be seen, to x-rays, surgery, medication, and follow-up visits… the bill racks up fast (to say the least). And at that moment? You’re not thinking about your savings, you’re just saying yes to whatever keeps them thriving.
As soon as we got home, I dug around online and ultimately signed up for Spot.
It’s super affordable and reimburses up to 90% on qualified vet bills. It was too late for me, but it’s not too late for you. Sign up today.

🫶 We got your back
Burger mood, solved: When a midweek craving hits, Turf Grill has the classic, made-to-order burger-and-fries combo that simply works. It’s low-key and satisfying, ideal for a quick refuel before errands or after a gym run. No fuss, just the right bite, every time.
Roll into your week: Presented by Floyd Mayweather, Skate Rock City is a locally loved rink with theme nights, beginner-friendly lessons, and a pro shop for tired wheels. Grab friends, glide a few laps, and leave with that quietly victorious, I-did-something-today glow.
Step into local history: Explore Heritage Street at Clark County Museum, peek into vintage homes, and see how Southern Nevada grew up. It’s an easy, real-deal break from the Strip, the kind that turns a simple afternoon into a smugly local win.
Access cash without selling your home: A reverse mortgage can help anyone over 62 cover everyday expenses, support healthcare needs, fund home improvements, or even reduce pressure on 401(k) withdrawals – all while staying in your home. Longbridge offers a free calculator to estimate how much flexibility your home could provide, with no commitment required.

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.
This house is wild
Residence 3’s two-level plan delivers 6,200 square feet of flexible style, offering three bedrooms, an office, and a sky loft with a deck for sunset lounging. A dedicated wellness and exercise zone opens to its own deck. Four full baths plus a powder room keep things effortless, and a 4-car garage adds serious storage.
