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.

We break down why Southern Nevada's kids are struggling to find care and what needs to change. Then, Nevada's decades-long fight against Yucca Mountain may finally be nearing its end, as Sen. Jacky Rosen introduces a bill to repeal the 1987 law that made it the nation's only designated nuclear waste site. Finally, Salad and Go just closed all its Las Vegas locations, so we ask the question nobody asked for but everyone needed: what would it actually take to make salad cool again in Las Vegas? Host Jesse Merrick breaks it all down with News from the Margin founder Naoka Foreman and NPR Mountain West News Bureau regional reporter Yvette Fernandez.
