📰 In the news
More room for rescues: Clark County has approved funding for a supplemental animal shelter for southwest Las Vegas. Design is underway, planning space for 148 animals and overflow being prepared at Sam Boyd Stadium — get all the details.
New push for safer roads: Southern Nevada Bicycle Coalition, RTC, Clark County, and City of Las Vegas launched a safety campaign urging respect between drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. It supports Nevada’s goal of zero fatalities — get all the details.
Career connections await: Nevada’s largest free job fair comes to Las Vegas Convention Center West Hall tomorrow, March 13, with 100-plus employers and thousands of openings for North Las Vegas job seekers — get all the event 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:

💎 Local business spotlight
Spark your creativity: Left of Center Gallery & Studio is a relaxed North Las Vegas hub for creative reset, with rotating exhibits, approachable classes, and a welcoming community where inspiration comes naturally. Fresh techniques, friendly makers, and unpressured art-making turn curiosity into momentum.
Weatherproof your deck: Chasing down a mystery drip or planning an outdoor glow-up? Deckfix handles waterproof deck systems, leak repairs, new builds, pool decks, and epoxy, all tuned for the Vegas climate. Protect your space, skip the stress, and enjoy that post-storm sigh of relief.
Crave-worthy mariscos, close by: When the seafood craving hits, Mariscos La Lomita serves citrusy shrimp ceviche tostadas, bright aguachiles verdes, and crispy empanadas de camarón, easy comforts for any weeknight. Fresh, zesty, and satisfying… a little coastal escape, right in the neighborhood.
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 →
Thinning hair? Don’t treat the wrong thing: When my ponytail started thinning, I tried the usual stuff (biotin, shampoo, sprays, etc.) and not one of them lasted. Turns out, most products target the strand, not the follicle… and that’s the whole problem. Once follicles go dormant, they need targeted help to come back. The good news? You can get treatment that actually works with no office visits or trips to the pharmacy. Learn about my favorites here →
Six figures you can’t spend: Most homeowners over 50 have spent years dutifully paying their mortgage, assuming the only time it’ll pay off is when they sell. I thought the same thing until I discovered you can tap into the equity you’ve earned whenever you want (without leaving your home). Overdue for a new roof? Want to build your dream bathroom? There are two ways to turn equity into usable cash →
