The op-eds are flying fast and furious this week.

Co-hosts Dayvid Figler and Sarah Lohman, along with executive producer Sonja Cho Swanson, discuss. Plus, what happens when a gambler who says he was drugged loses big at a casino? And lastly, Oprah's endorsement is life-changing for this small business in Las Vegas. Learn more about the sponsors of this December 19th episode: Opportunity Village Want to get in touch?

Despite the gaming's near-omnipresence in our city (airports, grocery stores, and every corner bar), surprisingly little is known about the gambling habits of locals. That's changed with the release of a landmark study just released at UNLV that looked into the rates of problem gambling in Nevada — spoiler: it's a lot higher here than it is nationwide. Co-host Dayvid Figler talks with the study's author, Andrea Dassopoulos, about the study's surprising findings, who is at highest risk (it's not who you think), and what can be done.

Right around 2012, tech mogul Tony Hsieh bought up over 100 properties downtown, including a roster of aging, classic drive-up motels on historic Fremont Street. But today, years after Tony's death, nothing has been done with the majority of these crumbling properties, which neighbors describe as a blight on the area.

On Wednesday evening, Nevada lawmakers received an agenda and an official notice that the Special Session would start the very next morning. But now that the Spesh Sesh is up and running at a cost of $100k a day, we gotta ask: Did Nevada really need this?

Las Vegas has seen its share of wild nights — but what happens when the world actually ends? In honor of the upcoming season of "Fallout" set in New Vegas and a Fallout fan celebration in Goodsprings this weekend, co-host Dayvid Figler teams up with filmmaker Darlene Dalmaceda and movie podcaster David Rosen to rank the best (and worst) apocalypse movies set in Sin City. From "Mars Attacks!" to "Blade Runner 2049" and the cult favorite "Six String Samurai," they explore why Hollywood loves to destroy Las Vegas — and imagine what a real post-apocalyptic Vegas might look like (spoiler: no A/C, no water, and probably still some gambling).

As Las Vegans look forward to holiday feasting with family, many of us are planning trips to a classic casino buffet — there's something for everyone. And despite the rise of food halls, the Vegas buffet isn't actually dead. Just ask food writer Janna Karel — last year, she ate at every buffet on the Strip and lived to tell the tale. So we're bringing back a conversation co-host Dayvid Figler had with Janna about which buffets are worth the trip, and how to maximize your buffet experience.

Henderson's looking less “sleepy suburb” and more “Bravo reality show” these days. Just last week, Councilwoman Carrie Cox was indicted for allegedly hiding behind a curtain at City Hall to secretly record a colleague's conversation. To unpack how the city got here, we revisit our chat with co-host Dayvid Figler and Review-Journal reporter Casey Harrison about Henderson's growing list of political drama plotlines — from former police chief Hollie Chadwick's firing and surprise mayoral run against Michelle Romero to council infighting and eyebrow-raising consulting deals.

Most Las Vegans had never heard of Carter Hart until the Vegas Golden Knights released a cryptic statement announcing a trial period with the Canadian goalie, pledging commitment to their "core values."

The shutdown has put Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) funding in peril — but that's just the latest hit to the growing population of hundreds of thousands of food insecure people in our state. Southern Nevada already has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country, new work requirements for SNAP benefits go into place in January, and Nevada households pay some of the nation's highest grocery bills. And that's on top of the 1.3 million pounds of canceled food aid earlier this year. Perfect storm, much? Co-host Dayvid Figler talks with Three Square Food Bank CEO Beth Martino about how their organization is pivoting, how the state might step in, and the surprising stats and stories she's hearing on the front lines of hunger.

As the federal shutdown drags into its third week, Congresswoman Susie Lee joins co-host Dayvid Figler to break down the political deadlock paralyzing Washington and its very real consequences for Nevadans. Representing a swing district that backed Trump in 2024, Lee calls out Republican leadership for refusing to negotiate, citing looming healthcare premium hikes that could devastate working families. Lee also addresses intra-party tensions after Senator Cortez Masto broke ranks to support the GOP-backed spending bill, and opens up about her own bipartisan efforts — and frustrations — as a member of the Problem Solvers Caucus. From the broader collapse of congressional cooperation to the local pain felt by furloughed federal workers, this conversation captures a key moment in a deepening national crisis.
