đź“° In the news
Revamping police public engagement: Henderson Police Chief Reggie Rader has delivered on his transparency pledge, holding multiple briefings and releasing bodycam video, with the city manager praising the shift eight months into his tenure — see what’s changing and why.
Long-term community hub takes shape: Sansone Companies recently broke ground in Henderson on Centurion, a 24-acre mixed-use project with 600 residential units and retail. Phase One brings over 80,000 square feet, including Sprouts and neighborhood services — see what’s planned in phases.
Customer windfall amid rate shifts: State Farm is issuing $5 billion in dividends to auto customers nationwide, averaging $100 per vehicle, even after raising Nevada rates 2.7 percent in January for over 424,000 policyholders — 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.
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:

đź’Ž Local business spotlight
Curtain up, Vegas: Las Vegas Little Theatre channels cozy, do-it-for-the-love vibes as Southern Nevada’s oldest community troupe, serving up crowd-pleasing plays. This week’s Mainstage comedy, Four Old Broads, promises big laughs, a dash of mischief, and just enough sass to shake off the weekday grind.
Upgrade your hot dog: When a plain dog won’t do, The Steamie Weenie riffs with inventive toppings, dialed-in classics, and wildly snackable fries and tots. Midweek blues meet crispy comfort, a not-boring bite that treats your taste buds like VIPs… no pep talk required.
Bring home a stack: Copper Cat Books is Henderson’s indie haven for used gems, curated new reads, and quirky gifts (music boxes, offbeat pillows). Chasing a hard-to-find title? Their crew loves playing book hunter. A midweek browse often turns into an unexpected treasure making its way home with you.

🫶 We got your back
Your data is for sale right now: There are over 400 websites selling your info to marketers, political campaigns, and scammers. They’ve got your phone number, home address, relatives’ names… you name it. That’s how robocallers seem to know everything about you before you pick up. You can remove your info one site at a time, or pay a service to do it for you. Here’s what we recommend →
Why your last diet didn’t work: Sustained weight loss is nearly impossible with diet alone. Your body literally fights back by making you hungrier the moment you start restricting calories. That’s why more doctors are recommending GLP-1s. The best part? Getting them has never been easier. We compared three programs to help you find the right fit. See which ones stood out →
Thinning hair? Don’t treat the wrong thing: When my ponytail started thinning, I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, sprays, etc.) and not one of them lasted. Turns out, most products target the strand, not the follicle… and that’s the whole problem. Once follicles go dormant, they need targeted help to come back. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn about my favorites here →
Six figures you can’t spend: Most homeowners over 50 have spent years dutifully paying their mortgage, assuming the only time it’ll pay off is when they sell. I thought the same thing until I discovered you can tap into the equity you’ve earned whenever you want (without leaving your home). Overdue for a new roof? Want to build your dream bathroom? There are two ways to turn equity into usable cash →
