It’s Friday, Henderson! Let’s finish this week strong.
In today’s can’t-miss-weekend-plans edition: Bobby Berk model homes, Costco’s double chocolate mint sundae, and Foreigner’s orchestral anniversary show + a stacked lineup of events this weekend.
Today’s sponsor (FinanceBuzz) built a free comparison tool that helped me cut my car insurance premiums in half. It took about 3 minutes, and honestly… I wish I’d done it sooner. If you haven’t shopped around in a while, you can easily check the best rates here.

📰 In the news
Curated home design collections: Tri Pointe Homes has begun sales at Lakeview Ridge, a 54-home community in Lake Las Vegas, featuring model designs by Bobby Berk and pricing from $800,000 to over $1 million — get all the details.
Flexible jobs with training: The City of Henderson will host summer hiring fairs for lifeguards, aquatic instructors, and recreation staff, starting Saturday, March 7 at Black Mountain Recreation Center, with more dates this month — find event dates and roles.

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.
Someone Googled you this week: Whether you’re dating again, selling something locally, or just meeting new neighbors… people are going to look you up. Like it or not, the internet has a way of surfacing past mistakes and outdated information that no longer reflects who you are.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 all that up – learn more here.
Highlights this week:

🚗 Are you quietly overpaying for car insurance?
Together with our sponsor FinanceBuzz
Auto insurance premiums have been climbing across the country… and most folks won’t notice until it’s time to renew and they’re hit with a higher bill.
The frustrating part? Loyalty rarely gets rewarded. Insurers adjust prices constantly, and new customers often qualify for better rates than long-time policyholders.
I learned that the hard way. I had the same policy for half a decade. Autopay was on, I saw the charges come in every month and never thought twice about them. Turns out I was paying well above the national average ($175/mo) for a single car… for years.
This free comparison tool lets you check rates from multiple insurers in just a few minutes. It costs nothing to look, and it could save you hundreds this year.

🫶 We got your back
Plant-based comfort fix: Craving orange “chicken,” sushi rolls, or a steaming bowl of vegan pho without the Strip trek? VeggiEAT Henderson nails it with a big all-vegan Asian-fusion menu that’s cozy yet playful, ideal for weeknight takeout or an easy dine-in. Comfort food, plant-powered.
Treasure-hunt therapy: At Bella Marketplace, Boulder City’s vintage heartbeat hums through an ever-rotating mix of antiques, quirky finds, and upcycled decor. Find that just-right piece, or a dash of serendipity, to refresh a corner at home without a full remodel.
Brows and bling, anyone?: Whether you want wake-up-and-go brows or a welded bracelet you’ll forget is there, Vegas Finest Ink By Lexi keeps it low-maintenance and personal. Think soft, lasting color and sleek, clasp-free shine. Zero fuss, tiny, shiny upgrades to your week.
An emergency vet visit could cost you $7,000+ (ask me how I know 🙃). From the initial fee just to be seen to x-rays, surgery, medicine, and aftercare, it adds up quicker than a chew toy turns into a crime scene. The good news? You could get up to 90% cash back on your vet bill with this pet insurance plan.
