Co-host Sarah Lohman chats with Roger Jones, veteran ticketing expert and owner of VegasTickets.com, about how falling demand is unlocking discounted shows, why locals are slow to take advantage, and what trends are shaping residencies and creating the perfect moment for locals to dive back into Vegas entertainment.

After a recent New York Times investigation shed light on the deteriorating mental health of 27-year-old Las Vegas resident Shane Tamura — who killed four people in Manhattan before taking his own life — questions are mounting about the systems meant to prevent such tragedies. The report detailed Tamura’s two prior involuntary hospitalizations, raising concerns about what should be considered in mental health and gun access laws. Today, we revisit a revealing conversation with Dr. Jim Jobin about the complexities of involuntary commitment and the broader implications of Southern Nevada’s strained mental health system.

Despite years of reporting on safety oversights, environmental mishaps, and dodgy regulation, the Boring Co. doesn't seem to be slowing down: Now, the company wants approval from the Nevada Transportation Authority to let their Teslas use city streets (essentially operating as taxis) — and as the Nevada Current just reported, the proposal might not even get a public hearing.

So today, co-host Dayvid Figler sits down with transportation planning expert Ray Delahanty, AKA CityNerd, who just posted a video titled "The Vegas Loop Is Getting Progressively More Stupid." So — is that fair, or is that exactly what's happening?

Governor Lombardo has just announced that the Nevada National Guard will be supporting ICE — albeit with "paperwork," not boots on the ground — so how does this play into the political chess between GOP state governors and the Trump administration? Plus, a local funeral home was discovered with uncremated bodies, some stored for up to 10 months, and the Golden Gate Casino, the oldest casino in Las Vegas, does away with live table games. Co-hosts Sarah Lohman and Dayvid Figler sit down with Andrew Kiraly, creator of TheList.Vegas, to discuss what this all means.

Las Vegas knows how to make the most of the nighttime hours — arguably better than any other city in the country. So whether you're booking a late-night steak dinner after a show, feeding your 3 a.m. taco craving, or getting a sunrise omelet after your night out (or graveyard shift), Vegas has something for you. Co-hosts Sarah Lohman and Dayvid Figler sit down with Lindsay Stewart, creator of the viral Instagram account The Las Vegas Foodie, to talk about the best late-night eats in Las Vegas.

Las Vegas built its reputation on being a city that never sleeps — plus, we have a ⁠higher percentage⁠ of night-shift workers than any other city in the country. But does that reputation still hold in 2025? As part of our ⁠Night Week⁠ series, presented by the Neon Museum, co-host Dayvid Figler sits down with artist Brent Holmes and ⁠NothingtodolvEATS⁠ founder Giselle D’souza to ask whether Vegas is still a true 24-hour town. From late-night grocery shopping and ever-earlier last calls, they explore what’s changed, what’s been lost, and what late-night life still looks like in a city that once prided itself on never closing.

Recent tensions over noise in the Arts District are just one example of how nightlife can create both opportunities and flashpoints in the politics of our city. And it's exactly the kind of issue that a newly-emerging municipal role, a "Night Mayor," is equipped to solve. So today, co-host Dayvid Figler talks with Raheem Manning, Philadelphia's first-ever night mayor, about his job translating the needs of the after-hours economy — and how he'd tackle our Arts District noise debate.

This is the second episode of Night Week, a celebration of all things nocturnal in Las Vegas.

The best and brightest meteor shower of the year peaks tonight, August 11th — and believe it or not, you can find some incredible night sky viewing just a couple hours outside of Las Vegas, one of the brightest cities in the country. Co-host Sarah Lohman talks with Mig Ponce, president of the Las Vegas Astronomical Society and founder of Stardust Astrotours. Mig explains why the Perseid Meteor shower is so bright, discusses why dark skies are so essential and so threatened, and shares his favorite stargazing spots within a few hours' drive of Las Vegas.

Today kicks off Night Week at City Cast Las Vegas — a special week of nocturnal-themed episodes sponsored by the always-brilliant Neon Museum.

Tesla Tunnels are back in the news: This time, as Dana Gentry reports in the Nevada Current, it’s because the Boring Co. is pushing a proposal to let its vehicles exit the tunnels and use surface streets (yes, the tunnels were originally proposed as a solve to street traffic). So what’s really going on? Co-hosts Dayvid Figler and Sarah Lohman tackle this topic with Jacob Solis of Battle Born Progress, as well as ICE’s threat to arrest Congressman Steven Horsford after his attempt to inspect a detention facility in Pahrump, and why five Clark County Commissioners are facing an ethics review board over comped F1 tickets valued at over $10k each.
