Summary
The Nevada National Security Site is now a testing ground for microreactors, which got us wondering if Nevada is ready for another atomic age. The Nevada Department of Transportation has its sights set on developing 31,000 acres between Sloan and Jean as it tries to get ahead of a projected 44% increase in employment by 2050, but how far can Las Vegas realistically grow? Plus, a beer spa is coming to Vegas, but if that’s not your vibe, we’ve got you covered with our favorite spots around town to grab a drink and unwind. Host Jesse Merrick breaks it all down with artist Vogue Robinson and journalist Naoka Foreman.
