Tomorrow, the Las Vegas City Council will consider a bill that puts new restrictions on e-bikes and e-scooters, including a ban along the Fremont Street Experience — echoing recent measures by Henderson and Clark County (which banned the devices from the Strip). This comes as deaths on e-bikes and e-scooters have doubled this year. Las Vegas Weekly staff writer Tyler Schneider joins co-host Sarah Lohman to talk about why the devices are getting deadlier, and what solutions are out there.

A Michelin star is one of the highest accolades in the culinary world — yet Las Vegas, despite its ever-evolving food scene, hasn’t seen the Michelin Guide return since 2009. In the absence of that global benchmark, local voices have stepped in. The Las Vegas Review-Journal’s newly released list of the top 100 restaurants of 2025 aims to spotlight the city's culinary talent. Restaurant reporter Johnathan L. Wright joins co-host Sarah Lohman to explore how restaurants are rated, how they decide what’s “best,” and whether these rankings still hold meaning in today’s food culture.

The Arts District is up in arms over a proposed noise ordinance amendment — one that's pitting new housing developers against the local arts community. Notably, the founders of Midtown, a condo development slated for the north end of Charleston, have drawn the ire of artists and small businesses for their support of ordinances that would shut down live music after 10 p.m. (We interviewed the Midtown developers recently on this podcast.) Today, co-host Dayvid Figler talks with Jeff Hwang, owner of the downtown restaurant and music venue Taverna Costera. They dispel myths about the very public debate and explore what this backlash means for gentrification of the Arts District.

The most recent fire at the Wetlands Park burned through over 100 acres — and brings the total fire count at the Wetlands up to four so far this year. The footage of the flames was shocking.
