This week, we discuss why Senator Jacky Rosen of Nevada ⁠joined forces⁠ with seven other Democrats, crossing party lines to vote for the GOP's budget bill and end our country's longest federal shutdown. But at ⁠whose urging⁠? Nevada Independent opinions editor Andrew Kiraly joins co-hosts Sarah Lohman and Dayvid Figler to discuss. Plus, why the ⁠Housekeeping Olympics⁠, now in its 35th year, matter more than ever, and how the return of the ⁠TI pirate show⁠ turned out to be a big ol' rumor.

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. Note: Since recording, ⁠the Luxor Buffet has closed⁠, reducing the ⁠total casino buffets to 12⁠.

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.

Healthcare costs are rising, and Nevada just rolled out a potential solution: the Battle Born State Plans, the state's first public health insurance option. But are these new plans actually affordable or just more “political theater”?

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.

After nearly two decades, Town Square is shaking off the dust with a wave of new restaurants, even as longtime local favorites like Blue Martini and Stoney's pack up and move on. So what's really going on at the popular shopping center just south of the Strip? Has it quietly become more of a tourist stop than a local hangout? We revisit a conversation with Hey Las Vegas newsletter editor Rob Kachelriess and co-host Dayvid Figler as they break down what's new at Town Square, which old favorites are still hanging on, and what it all means for the shopping center's future.

Co-host Dayvid Figler talks with Battle Born Progress press secretary Jacob Solis to discuss all the implications of the vetoes on Las Vegans.

It runs a close second of the Dune turret marquee as those most missed from the landscape. The Mint was absorbed into Binion's Horseshoe in 1989. A part of the sign still exists to this day, viewable from the staircase up to Whiskey Liquor up. Unfortunately, the Neon Museum wasn't established until 1996 so it wasn't saved for posterity.

Random Vegas Most people know the story about Sands boss Carl Cohen knocking two of Frank Sinatra's teeth out after one of his legendary temper tantrums.  But did you know that a similar situation happened at Caesars Palace?  Sinatra wanted credit to play $16k a hand at baccarat but the casino limit was $2k and he was already being allowed to play at $8k a hand.  When he was told no, Frank of course got angry and made a scene that included some threats.  In response, the hotel's executive vice president pulled a gun on Sinatra.  He was later booked for assault with a deadly weapon but charges were later dismissed.  That man's name was Sandford Waterman.  Sinatra didn't finish the rest of his engagement at the property but eventually returned and apologized. TwitPic of the week Thank you 1968 for existing and for the photographer that captured this view, shared by@Summacorp, of the Stardust marquee in all her massive glory. This sign is one of the most iconic in Vegas history and thankfully was saved by the Neon Museum. Here's to hoping they reignite her in 2027 when the museum will relocate to the Arts district.

This week, Ira spoke with Peter Laufer, author (along with Sheila Swan) of "Neon Nevada," who will be having a book signing for the updated and expanded edition of his book at the Neon Museum, September 7. In this episode of “Talk About Las Vegas With Ira,” Peter talks about how he and his wife first met above a neon sign; what started the couple on their journey of writing a book on the subject; the merging of neon as high and low art; the magic of the light with its flicker, glow, colors and messages; why neon is ideal for drawing attention; why it was in jeopardy; why the new and expanded edition not only shows the historical neon, but also what's out there now; the joy of walking through the Neon Museum; challenges for existing historical signs; gases and images in motion; the tube benders (craftsman and artists); its commercial value; “Neon means Nevada”; his favorite piece in the Neon Museum; and the future of neon.

After news broke that an elderly couple made off with over $600k at the Primm Valley Casino (before being apprehended at their Las Vegas home), the internet basically had two reactions: 1. Awe that someone in their 70s could jump over a casino counter and (almost) get away with this. 2. Depression, because one possible motive cited was the couple's mounting medical bills. Today, co-hosts Sarah Lohman and Dayvid Figler are joined by Nevada Current reporter Michael MJ Lyle to discuss this news, plus: The Neon Museum's big move to the Arts District and what this could mean for the Cultural Corridor they're leaving behind, and the memes and misinformation about Joe Biden's very last presidential campaign stop, right here in Las Vegas.

As part of the construction we will be losing Beatles Love forever in July, but will the property stay open during the transition? We also got a look at the model for the Guitar Tower and not only is it huge, but it will definitely become a landmark of the Las Vegas skyline. In other Vegas news controversy swirled this week over the future of the monorail. Will it be decommissioned soon and if not how much longer does the struggling transit system have? We also discuss Rosa Mexicano's pink food, how slot tickets are expiring sooner, Tropicana's pending implosion, how the Neon Museum gained a newly restored gem, a temporary casino coming to Moulin Rouge and where Babyface is bringing his Las Vegas residency.
