Join us every weekday morning for the messy, delightful, complicated conversations that Las Vegans are having: You’ll hear us ask hard questions about where we’ll get our water when Lake Mead runs out, and how we’ll keep housing affordable. We’ll argue over our favorite Chinatown bars, and share insider tips on the best tacos in town. City Cast Las Vegas will show you how loving a city means celebrating it and also holding it accountable, while having some fun along the way—because Las Vegans know how to have a good time.

Nevada Current reporter Michael “MJ” Lyle and Executive Producer Layla Muhammad join host Jesse Merrick to discuss not only why the shooting broke through the news cycle, but whether or not it could spur action for domestic violence survivors in the Las Vegas Valley. Plus, the team breaks down why a potential gas tax holiday won’t be all it’s cracked up to be, and a Gen Z internship opportunity trying to put Las Vegas directly onto your For You Page. And in this week’s members-only bonus segment, we break down the long-awaited return of Lotus of Siam’s original location (and add some of our favorite local Thai food recommendations, too).
