City Cast Las Vegas
🤑 Which Nevada county is the wealthiest
December 2, 2024 · Rob Kachelriess
🍗 Welcome back from the holiday weekend!
If you’re a Las Vegas local, I hope your car was still in the airport parking garage where you left it. If you’re a tourist, well, we’ve got some advice for you.
City Cast Las Vegas co-hosts Sarah Lohman and Dayvid Figler welcome local artist Justin “Favy Fav” Favela to discuss how tourists can make the most of their time in Sin City — and stay on our good side 👍
The first thing any visitor notices … Why are there so many billboards advertising lawyers here? It's because people come and behave very badly.
What's CITY Talking About?
💰 Nevada's Wealthiest County is Up North
According to SmartAsset, Douglas County leads Washoe, Storey, and here we come, Clark as the wealthiest county in Nevada. Douglas — which includes the Carson Valley and the southeast corner of Lake Tahoe — was also top-ranked for highest investment income. [Reno Gazette Journal]
🏥 New Hospital Arrives in Henderson
The all-new West Henderson Hospital opens tomorrow with 150 beds to serve a fast-growing corner of the valley. If you get injured on the court at Chicken N’ Pickle, you’re coming here. [KSNV]
- Sen. Jacky Rosen is pushing for more medical residencies in Nevada to help fill a shortage of primary care doctors. [Nevada Current]
🚧 Rough Roads
Interstate 15 will see major overnight closures Wednesday and Thursday. [KVVU]
- This comes during the deconstruction of the Formula 1 track on and near the Strip. The Bellagio Fountain Club won’t be fully removed until Dec. 27 😳 [KTNV]
- But — you gotta give F1 credit for donating 72,000 pounds of food to Three Square. [KSNV]
🎵 $349 Just to Listen to Adele
Adele just wrapped up her run at Caesars Palace and is documenting the residency with a new live vinyl box set. It begins at $349 and if that sounds like a lot, you should’ve seen the actual ticket prices. [KSNV]
- Adele’s box set won’t ship until April, but City Cast Las Vegas has some local holiday gift ideas that you can buy today. [City Cast Las Vegas 🎧]
