City Cast Las Vegas co-host Sarah Lohman is coming up on four years of living in Las Vegas — so can she call herself a real Las Vegas local yet, or what? To help answer this question, she talks with co-host Dayvid Figler, lifelong Las Vegan, and artist Brent Holmes, who's clocked 24 years in this town, about the "merit badges" you have to earn before you can call yourself a real Las Vegan (and yes, surviving three summers here counts as one).

If any town deserves the moniker of “City Who Never Sleeps,” it's clearly Las Vegas — city of entertainers, graveyard shift workers, and all the industries that cater to them. But are we losing our 24/7 edge?

How do you pronounce “Zzyzx Road” and how has hospitality-speak infiltrated our everyday lingo?

While Vegas media loves to highlight the latest food trends, hottest new restaurants, or the next big celebrity chef coming to town, one tried and true dining option gets overlooked in all the chatter: grocery stores. Even though we get most of our food in grocery stores, only a few consider sitting in and having a meal there. Surprisingly, Las Vegas has plenty of great local options so you can try getting your next meal before picking up a pint of milk. Writer and City Cast contributor Brent Holmes shares his favorite local grocery store meals and the joys of dining in with co-host Dayvid Figler. We mentioned this episode from last year on where to take your date for dinner in Las Vegas.

Forget New York — Las Vegas is the real city that never sleeps. Our city has a higher percentage of night-shift workers than any other city in the country. But while our bars, restaurants, and grocery stores once catered to both the graveyard shift and sleepless tourists with round-the-clock service, 24-hour venues are getting harder and harder to find. Co-host Dayvid Figler and contributor Brent Holmes, both lifelong Las Vegans who grew up with graveyard shift parents, share their favorite witching hour stories, debate whether we can still call Vegas a 24-hour town, and shout out their favorite 24-hour spots that are still clocking in at all hours.

Every city has its linguistic quirks (we're looking at you, “HOW-stun” street in New York City) — saying things “right” is one of the quickest ways to prove that you're a local or reveal that you're not. So what about Southern Nevada's local lingo? Do you know how to pronounce McLeod Dr., Tule Springs, or that weird exit off the I-15, Zzyzx Road? And how have hospitality, gaming, and our terrible traffic influenced the way we speak? Today, lifelong Las Vegan and City Cast host Dayvid Figler sits down with two other longtime locals, Brent Holmes and Lille Allen, to rattle off the “must-know” words for newcomers, and debate some of our more contentious terms. Be sure to check our interview with UNR linguist Valerie Fridland about the pronunciation of “Nevada.” We're on social media! Follow us @CityCastVegas on Instagram.

A lot of outrage has been swirling around the Las Vegas community this week. First, Elon Musk incited a hate campaign on X (formerly Twitter) towards the Review-Journal and their journalist after she reported on the murder of a retired police chief. Also, shortly following the removal of mature trees on Las Vegas Blvd to make way for F1 grandstands, Las Vegans and tourists are saddened to lose the shade and the iconic backdrop for the Bellagio Fountains. Lastly, a new humanoid robot greeter at The Sphere is bringing both the shock and awe. Host Dayvid Figler is joined by Nevada Independent journalist Tabitha Mueller and writer and contributor Brent Holmes to wade through this week of news. Let us know which one of these things outraged you the most this week, the Bellagio trees or hate campaign on X. Leave us a voicemail at 702-514-0719. We're also on social media!

Transient is everyone's favorite word in Las Vegas. It means that nothing and no one lasts long in this city. However, in the midst of imploding casinos and closing businesses, there are some restaurants that have withstood the test of time and have managed to continue serving the community for over 25 years (which is a long time in Vegas!). We are bringing back a conversation with former co-host Vogue Robinson and food contributor Brent Holmes where they list the most essential older restaurants for Las Vegans to try and discuss what has kept them open for so long. Plus, some newer spots that seem to have promising futures.

If you're looking for the best grits, collard greens, and fried catfish in town, contributor Brent Holmes has some soul food recs for you — he's a longtime Las Vegan with deep family roots in Texas. But, as Brent tells co-host Vogue Robinson, soul food restaurants here in Vegas tend to open and close on the regular. So why is it so hard to keep a soul food joint open in this town? What is authentic soul food, and where can a hungry local find the best soul food in Las Vegas?

The days of the dirt-cheap buffet and the 99 cent shrimp cocktail are long gone — and with inflation on the rise, cheap eats are harder to find than ever in Las Vegas.

Ryan starts by describing his history with mental health issues and says his goal now is to get his laugh back by recognizing that maybe he is not crazy but kooky.

Hey everyone. Hope you are doing well. I just finalized a 4-channel video during my time in Shanghai and had a chance to exhibit it to the local art community. I am currently preparing to leave back to Zhuhai in a bit. I also just finished my time at the Rogers Art Loft residency and held the closing talk last week, so thank you to all who swung by. It was a wonderful experience and I hope to visit everyone in Las Vegas soon. I will be posting the conversations I had with the local Las Vegas Community over the next few months, interspersed with previous interviews I conducted. So stay tuned.For today, I will be talking to Brent Holmes, a multi-disciplinary artist with a deep affinity to words- historical, epistemological and ontologically themed creative projects. Holmes also seeks to create a dialogue through several culinary projects, on the nature of communication, and morality and identity. Brent holds no degrees and says he most likely never will. Being the son of an entertainer, Brent is thoroughly traveled but has never completely identified any one place as his home until moving to Las Vegas. Brent and I chat about the coming apocalypse and for whom, the construction of the American West in relation to freedom, the body within a landscape, and symbolisms in objects. It was an enjoyable chat and I hopefully you will like it as well. As always, stay safe and healthy wherever you are and I hope you enjoy this.

This week Justin Favela calls Nevada Public Radio to chat with artist and designer Brent Holmes. After hearing Brent talk about the arts during this pandemic on KNPR's State of Nevada, Justin wanted to continue the conversation and get into how artists are responding to their new reality in isolation. Listen in as Brent shares his early memories of the Las Vegas strip, talks about his relationship with the desert, his thoughts on what we are going through at this moment and much, much more.  Show Notes: KNPR's State of Nevada Anthony Bondi Pandemic Drawings - Barrick Museum of Art Radar Adriana Chavez Heidi Rider Karla Lagunas Nevada Humanities Brent's Website Instagram - @bread_n_circus   The Art People Podcast is edited and produced by Justin Favela (@favyfav).

At the end of July, drawn in by an unusually green spring and our city's bright lights, millions of grasshoppers swarmed Las Vegas. Inspiration struck, and your intrepid hosts decided to catch and cook some grasshoppers for ourselves (and you, dear listeners). With the help of artists Mikayla Whitmore and Brent Holmes, we managed to trap a few dozen. Food writer Kim Foster helped us cook them up the next day. Along the way, we explore bug-eating traditions around the world, why hoppers aren't seen as food in much of the U.S., and why we might all need to take bugs-as-food a little more seriously. Oh, and we'll tell what grasshoppers taste like, too. This episode was written by Sonja Swanson, and produced by Kristy Totten and Sonja Swanson. Music by Jeremy Klewicki.

WOW, what a show. On this episode, the Happy Earth Market Crew sits down with Brent Holmes, a world-renowned artist that is humble and lives a full life of authenticity.  We discuss Brent's willingness to work with all sorts of mediums, how his career has taken him around the world, what growing up with a successful artist family was like, philosophy, depression, his love for the desert, and the human inner galaxy.   We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording.
