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.

Clark County School District police just gained access to hundreds of Flock license plate reader cameras across the valley, and the revelation raises serious questions about whether or not surveillance technology should be used by schools and what guardrails should exist on how it's used. A Las Vegas chef helped Team USA clinch a spot in the Pastry World Cup, which got us thinking about our favorite places to pick up a pastry in the valley. Host Jesse Merrick breaks it all down with Nevada Current reporter Michael \"MJ\" Lyle and NPR Mountain West News Bureau regional reporter Yvette Fernandez.
