Curated by popular demand — here are this week’s most-clicked events, local spots, and stories.

Direct access to hiring employers: Southern Nevada kicks off 2026 with EmployNV hiring events and January career sessions. Highlights include January 7 and January 14 opportunities, with pay from $15 to $20 an hour — see dates, locations and pay.

Plans emphasize wellness and connection: Investcor announced Valara, a luxury senior living community coming to Henderson in 2026, featuring 244 residences under one roof, with plans to break ground in the second quarter — get all the details.

Top threats in Southern Nevada: Clark County emergency managers are urging residents to make emergency preparedness a New Year’s resolution, with tips on disaster kits, family plans, an out-of-state contact, and a NOAA radio — learn how you can prepare.

Refresh your space, locally: Henderson’s own Lemontree Home Decor is a cozy, curated stop for candles, lighting, rugs, and those “I didn’t know I needed that” accents, plus friendly in-house design help when a sofa corner needs a plan. Pieces feel like you, made for the rooms you actually live in.

Burrito fix, found: Craving a burrito? Me Gusta Tacos rolls hefty Cali-style and Mission-worthy burritos, plus a rotating monthly special, all with unfussy, high-quality ingredients. A quick, reliable pit stop in The District and an effortless weeknight win.

Are you overpaying? The national average for car insurance is around $175 per month. I was paying over $300 for ONE car until I checked out various quotes, switched providers, and ultimately cut my premium in half. If you haven’t checked in a while, you’re probably losing money too — this free comparison tool makes it easy.

Gold & silver are hot: Gold just had it’s best year since 1979. Silver did even better, climbing nearly 150% in 2025… and analysts expect the momentum to continue. If you’re curious about adding precious metals to your portfolio as a market hedge, American Hartford has a helpful guide that covers everything you need to know. It’s free — and definitely worth a read.

A new haircare solution: My hair’s been thinning and I’ve been quietly ignoring it, hoping it’ll fix itself. Plot twist… it hasn’t. When I finally started looking into what I should do, there were so many options I didn’t know where to start. I stumbled on Keranique, and its simplicity really sold me. One kit, no pills, no choosing products, and no confusion whatsoever. It’s also on sale with a money-back guarantee (although I doubt you’ll need it).
