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.

Whether it's drive-thru weddings, drive-thru betting or drive-thru weed, we've made drive-thrus more than just a food experience. But do all these drive-thrus come at a cost? To dive into that, we're revisiting a conversation Dayvid Figler had with Sarah Lohman and Sonja Cho Swanson, where the three debate the pros and cons of drive-thrus and whether we'll ever truly outgrow them.
