Slow week for the family here in Vegas as we were actually over in Hawaii for our annual vacation 🌺 Alina has officially decided she wants to be a pilot now after the amazing team at Southwest let her sit in the cockpit and push a few buttons before takeoff. Thankfully, the flight still landed exactly where it was supposed to. 😅
Today, I’d love to hear from you. We’ve been doing this newsletter for almost 9 months now, and the response has honestly blown us away. Our open rates are around 5x higher than the average newsletter or business email, which tells me this community really enjoys staying connected to what’s happening around the Valley.
But there’s always room to make this thing even better. What would you like to see MORE of in the newsletter? More local events? Family activities? Food spots? Development news? Hidden gems? Hit reply and let me know.
I personally read every response and do my best to reply to each one. With nearly 40,000 readers across the Valley now, it may take me a couple days to get back to everyone… but I truly appreciate every message.
🏥 Las Vegas builds housing for health workers
The Gist: Las Vegas is building The Oscar, a 256-unit housing project with affordable units reserved for healthcare workers and students in the medical district. City leaders say it’s part of a push to ease staffing shortages by helping doctors, nurses, and trainees live closer to where they work.
Why It Matters: When healthcare workers can’t afford to live near their jobs, it affects everyone’s wait times, staffing levels, and care access. This is an effort to close that gap by making daily life a little more workable for the people keeping hospitals running.
🥢 Dim Sum, Reimagined in Style

A meal at Palette Tea Lounge & Dim Sum turns into a shared table of small plates made for exploring. Roast duck lands as the standout, rich and deeply flavorful, while wagyu beef, popcorn chicken, and garlic wings bring a mix of comfort and bite. Dumplings, rice rolls, and vegetable dishes keep things varied, all presented with a modern, polished touch.
The setting stays relaxed yet elevated, making it easy to linger while trying just one more plate.
