📰 In the news
Classroom practice gets smarter: Henderson’s Excel Academy is using AI to personalize ACT prep at Green Valley High School, building custom question banks from pre-assessments. Early practice gains average 2 points, with results pending — see how it works.
Spotlight on youth leadership: A Henderson teen won Southern Nevada Youth of the Year after a competition with six finalists and will represent the region at the statewide contest in March — read the full story.
Nevada’s hospitality reinvention accelerates: Henderson rides Nevada’s travel boom as M Resort’s second tower has opened, adding rooms and meeting space, while the Strip’s Cromwell is transforming into the Vanderpump Hotel, signaling hospitality momentum — get the statewide hotel details.
Regional market pressures intensify: Community leaders gathered at Cadence Central Park in Henderson to discuss housing affordability, growth and development as 2025 home prices hovered at record highs amid mortgage rates across southern Nevada — see what leaders are saying.
Gold & silver are hot: Last year was gold’s best year since 1979. Silver did even better, climbing nearly 150%… and analysts expect the momentum to continue. Curious about precious metal investing? GoldCo has a helpful guide that covers everything you need to know. It’s free — and definitely worth a read.
An emergency vet visit could cost you $7,000+ (ask me how I know 🙃). From the initial walk-in-the-door fee to x-rays, surgery, and aftercare, it adds up quicker than a chew toy turns into a crime scene. The good news? You could save thousands on your next vet bill with Lemonade.
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.

Back on the road faster than you think
In partnership with Wright Bet Auto
The worst part of needing auto body work isn’t the dent..it’s the waiting. The days without your car. The juggling rides. The “when will it be ready?” limbo that makes life feel twice as complicated.
Wright Bet Auto gets that.
That’s why they’ve built their whole process around speed, convenience, and getting you back behind the wheel as quickly as possible.
Need an estimate? You don’t even have to drive across town. Just hop on a quick FaceTime call and they’ll give you a quote without the hassle.
From there, their certified technicians handle everything efficiently, whether it’s a small scratch, a parking lot ding, or full collision repair. They work with all major insurance companies, too, so you’re not stuck playing phone tag while your car sits in the shop.
Because the goal isn’t just fixing your vehicle…it’s getting you back to normal life, fast.
Request a FaceTime quote or give them a call at 702-750-1307 to get started.

🫶 We got your back
Fast track to I do: Harry Reid International Airport is hosting a pop-up Marriage License Bureau through February 16, open daily 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Couples can get licenses or vow renewal certificates while traveling. It is part of Las Vegas’s Wedding Month, a busy time for Valentine’s celebrations. See dates and hours.
Your neighbors are Googling you: It’s uncomfortable but true — employers, new friends, even other parents at school pickup search names all the time. If something negative, outdated, or misleading shows up first, it can shape opinions before you ever meet. BetterReputation helps push down unwanted search results so your first impression actually reflects who you are today. And if it’s someone you care about, you can help them too.
A new chapter in care: Las Vegas Recovery Hospital has opened as Southern Nevada’s first fully integrated acute medical and addiction recovery facility. Operated by Lion Health System, it treats patients with serious medical needs and substance use disorders. Local leaders attended the opening. Good news for nearby Henderson families. Read the full story.
Gold is having a moment: Between inflation headlines, market swings, and growing global uncertainty, precious metals are (again) in the spotlight. American Hartford is currently offering up to $25,000 in free silver when you open a qualified account. They’ll also help you set up a penalty-free gold IRA with a lowest price guarantee, no buyback fees, and 7-day price protection.
Reeds, repairs, relief: If a kid’s reed snapped or your trombone slide sounds like Monday, Kessler & Sons Music has you covered. Family-owned since 1989, they offer rentals, expert repairs, and lessons, plus a deep selection for winds, brass, and strings… right when school band season sneaks up again.
A second opinion never hurts: Not every financial advisor is the right fit, and it’s okay to explore your options. Unbiased matches you with an advisor based on your personal situation, giving you a chance to ask questions in a free, no-pressure conversation to see if the fit makes sense. No obligation — just helpful advice.
Broth worth the trip: Let’s Get Pho ladles deep, slow-simmered bowls that handle the comfort-food heavy lifting after a long day. From Da Oxtail Pho to Big Angus Beef Ribs Pho, plus the classics, every slurp feels like a reset… easy, rich, and ready to fit neatly into your week.
