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.

Then, a data center developer near Boulder City found a way around the city's public approval process by pivoting to federal land, which could open the door for more data center projects to follow suit. Plus, driverless cars are getting closer to Las Vegas streets as Waymo announces fully autonomous testing in the valley. Host Jesse Merrick breaks it all down with reporters Tabitha Mueller of the Nevada Independent and Michael \"MJ\" Lyle of the Nevada Current. And in a members-only bonus segment, Gov. Joe Lombardo has outspent his opponent, Attorney General Aaron Ford 174 to 1 on campaign ads in a race everyone says is a toss-up. So what impact will that actually have on the governor's race?
