City Cast Las Vegas

The team behind Area 15 is the latest group to throw their name into the NBA arena conversation, and we break down whether this bid is the real deal, how it stacks up against the other proposals, and what it would actually take to make it work in the area they’re proposing. Then we get into North Las Vegas’ 2055 master plan, which is asking residents to help shape what the city will look like over the next 25 years. We took the survey, and we have some thoughts about the areas the city seems to be concentrating on. Plus, in our weekend lookahead, we feature a new jazz lounge worth checking out, why the book festival should be on your radar, and a unique spot to grab some tea with a great view of the valley. Executive producer Layla Muhammad and creative producer Jacob Solis join Jesse Merrick to break it all down.

Is road rage on the rise in Las Vegas? It’s hard to quantify, but the data from the last five years suggests it could be — so what’s to blame? Then we get into the dispute between the Clark County and City of Las Vegas fire departments over a mutual aid agreement that’s about to expire, why the city says it’s been shouldering more than its fair share of calls in the growing northwest valley and whether the county lines that cut through Las Vegas are part of the problem. Plus, in our weekly Vegas Obsessions, we dive into a new spot to twerk out while you work out, why the new Arts District parking garage is already off to a bad start and the overreaction to Las Vegas’ weather over the weekend. Nevada Current deputy editor April Corbin Girnus and criminal defense attorney and writer Dayvid Figler join Jesse Merrick to break it all down.

Another Las Vegas school year has begun — how are cell phones being handled? In Minnesota, one high school is demonstrating that a strict no-phone school day can work, and they’ve got the (mostly) positive feedback to show for it. City Cast Twin Cities host Sean McPherson joins David to talk about how St. Paul Central High School is succeeding at enforcing a phone-free school environment, the surprising ways that some students approach it, and how these kinds of bans can even affect adults like Sean.

A selfie on a Strip bridge could land you in jail for six months — and that's just the start of what host Jesse Merrick and local filmmaker Jason Harris are untangling this week.
