📰 In the news
Community voices shape road plans: Henderson seeks input on Lake Mead Parkway upgrades between I-11 and Lake Las Vegas. The open house was Feb. 26, and the online survey remains available through March 15 — see how to get involved.
Downtown festivities mark milestones: Henderson’s 58th Annual St. Patrick’s Day Festival and Parade will fill Water Street March 13 to 15 with Celtic headliners Mairead Nesbitt, The Bow Tides, and Cecilia String Quartet — get all the details.
New shop bucks closure trend: Henderson has a new locally owned spot for made-on-site bagels. Jeff’s Bagel Run recently opened its only Nevada location, mixing, boiling and baking all day for bagels and spreads — read the full story.
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:

🏆 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
Pho night, upgraded: Craving a cozy, no-fuss bowl? Let’s Get Pho warms Henderson with slow-simmered broth and playful picks like Da Oxtail Pho and Big Angus Beef Ribs Pho, plus all the fixings. The kind of place you recall on long weeks… when soup doubles as therapy.
Stash-worthy fabric fix: Henderson’s Quiltique fuels modern quilters with thousands of bolts, smart notions, and a roomy classroom to keep skills sharp. From BERNINA machines and tools to inspiring kits, it’s the place to spark a new project this week… or finally finish that one hiding in your basket.
Big-omelet energy: When your breakfast mood is “feed me like I did yard work,” Omelet House Of Henderson delivers. Think towering omelets, the Jolly Green Giant classic, burgers that actually care, and proper corned beef hash. Cozy, unfussy, and the sort of spot that quickly becomes a weekly habit.
What doctors wish every 65+ adult had at home: Physicians call it “long-lie,” and it’s the real reason falls are so dangerous for older adults. It’s not a broken bone… it’s lying on the floor for hours waiting for someone to notice. We dug into the options that actually solve this problem, and one stood out. See which one →
