Twenty years ago, developer Yohan Lowie bought the Badlands Golf Course — but not everyone was happy about his plans. This kicked off a bitter legal battle that has since embroiled the City of Las Vegas in increasingly expensive lawsuits. So what exactly is going on here, and why is the city now potentially on the hook for nearly half a billion dollars? We're bringing back a conversation co-host Sarah Lohman had with journalists Darcy Spears and Steve Sebelius earlier this summer that untangles the messy, messy Badlands drama and explains why Badlands will be a hot topic in local elections this fall.

The City of Las Vegas has been involved in heated litigation over the Badlands Golf Course for years — and it's not going well. After their most recent loss in the Nevada Supreme Court this April, the city is on the hook for over $230 million. And now it's become a topic of contention in this year's mayoral race. So how did we get here? Co-host Sarah Lohman talks with Channel 13's Steve Sebelius and Darcy Spears about the twists and turns in this mind-boggling battle, and what it could mean for all of us.

This June, for the first time in 25 years, Las Vegas voters will face a mayoral ballot without a single Goodman on it. But given our valley's odd jurisdictional boundaries, less than half of Southern Nevadans actually live within the city and can vote for the Las Vegas mayor. So why does this election matter to the whole Vegas Valley? How did the Mayors Goodman transform the role for a global stage — and what's next for our city? Co-host Sarah Lohman sits down with Channel 13 senior political reporter Steve Sebelius to find out. Today's episode kicks off Mayoral Mondays, our special series on the 2024 Las Vegas mayoral race.

The November election is right around the corner and if there is any indication of that, it's the political ads that find their way onto every screen or into our mailboxes — barely regulated, never-ending, irritating as hell. At the only gubernatorial debate we will see this cycle, the Nevada Independent dedicated a whole section to the misinformation in Sisolak and Lombardo attack ads. And they aren't the only candidates from Nevada who were caught spreading lies, misquotes, or exaggerations. Here to guide us through this wilderness of innuendo and manipulation is Review-Journal politics and government editor Steve Sebelius, who talks to host Vogue Robinson about the worn out tactics used in political ads. And get to a crucial question: What is the actual purpose of the political ad? What's the best/worst political ad you've seen this election cycle? Leave us a voicemail or send us a text at 702-514-0719. You can also find us on Twitter @CityCastVegas. Want more Vegas news?
