📰 In the news
Opportunities across industries await: Looking for work near Henderson? Nevada’s largest free job fair is set for March 13 at Las Vegas Convention Center West Hall, with over 100 employers offering thousands of positions — get all the event details.
City poised to tighten regulations: Henderson City Council is voting today on e-bike and e-scooter safety rules that would require helmets for riders under 18 and ban dangerous stunts like wheelies and riding on handlebars — see what’s being decided.
New Vegas betting venue: Caesars Race & Sportsbook opens today at The Resort at Summerlin, its first Summerlin location, with ribbon cutting, ceremonial first bet, Deryk Engelland, and a Golden Knights watch party — get all the opening 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:

🏆 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
When pasta cravings hit: Pasta Shop Ristorante has been twirling house-made noodles in Henderson since 1989, serving rich sauces, thoughtful vegan plates, and a cozy neighborhood vibe. When you want an easy night that feels elevated, this spot delivers pasta that outshines your stovetop.
Weekend treasure hunt: At Josie’s Closet, curated consignment and legit vintage await: everyday staples, rare statement pieces, all sustainably priced and refreshingly unfussy. Inventory moves fast, so weekend browsing feels like a treasure hunt… and somehow you leave with something you’ll actually wear.
Chill, breathe, glow: Elevated Sauna, Salt & Cryotherapy Studio is your low-effort reset when your back or brain protests. Whole-body cryo for a jolt, halotherapy to breathe easier, and private infrared plus red light when you need to sweat it out. Walk out clearer, looser, and a little more human.
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.
