🎨 We’re Getting an Art Museum!

For years, Reno had one thing Vegas didn’t — a major, full-fledged art museum. That’s about to change. The city officially approved land for the Las Vegas Museum of Art in Symphony Park with an award-winning architect already signed up. But you’ll have to wait until 2028. [KTNV]

The City of Henderson is stepping in to make essential pipe repairs to the Somerset Park community. That means 85 townhomes won’t have to evacuate 😃 But homeowners will be on the hook for the cost, estimated to be payments of $300 a month over two years 😞 [KVVU]
