📰 In the news
Sewage system upgrade coming: Henderson’s busy Stephanie Street will get an underground steel pipe replacement starting in June, running through September 2027, likely bringing lane closures and traffic delays along this key corridor — see project timeline and impacts.
City youth enrichment and fun: Registration is now open for City of Las Vegas spring break camps March 16 to 20, including Splash at the Municipal Pool, plus programs on April 3 and April 6 — see activities, ages and locations.
Bilingual training and counseling: UNR Extension’s free small-business program in Las Vegas meets Thursdays, with Biz101 classes and a six-month incubator. Since 2024 it has trained 102 entrepreneurs, and one cohort generated nearly $500,000 — get program details and schedule.
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:
|
💎 Local business spotlight
Pie craving, solved: La Tropezienne French Bakery turns out buttery French pastries and, yes, custom pies that taste like someone’s grandma went to pastry school. Fruit tarts and flaky crusts keep the dessert rotation happy all week, and your future self will feel smugly grateful.
Blooms that actually wow: A Henderson staple since 2001, A Country Rose Flower Shop creates florist-designed, hand-delivered arrangements, not sad boxes, plus easy same-day surprises for bright birthdays, sweet thank-yous, and thoughtful sympathy pieces. Look like you planned ahead… even if you absolutely didn’t.
Send it indoors: Fresh boulders drop weekly, the training corner packs Moon and Tension boards, a treadwall, and weights, and the vibe stays friendly, not bro-y. The Refuge Climbing & Fitness makes after-work laps easy when desert temps or plans go sideways. Stoke stays high indoors.
These aren’t ads or sponsored placements, just some cool nearby spots we think are worth a visit.

🫶 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 →
What doctors wish every 65+ adult had at home: Physicians call it “long-lie,” and it’s the real reason falls are so dangerous for older adults. It’s not a broken bone… it’s lying on the floor for hours waiting for someone to notice. We dug into the options that actually solve this problem, and one stood out. See which one →
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. Check out my favorite online options →
