City Cast Las Vegas
🤯 'The Wizard of Oz' at the Sphere?
March 10, 2025 · Rob Kachelriess
☀️ It’s a brighter day in Las Vegas. Literally.
We “sprang forward” to daylight saving time yesterday. And it could be the last time we do it in Nevada if the proposed Lock the Clock Act passes in Carson City 👀
What's CITY Talking About?
🚨 Firing Squad
After three weeks on leave, Hollie Chadwick was fired as Henderson police chief by the city manager, who said the decision was …
- Not based on political considerations ❌
- Or specific misconduct ❌
- But a failure to align on vision and leadership styles ✅ [KTNV]
👷 Business As Usual
Nevada continues to have the highest rate of unemployment in the nation. The good news — we’re getting better at calculating it. [KLAS]
🐵 Flying Monkeys in the Sphere
The Sphere is gearing up to announce a Harry Styles residency and check this out, “a ‘Wizard of Oz’ theatrical show” 🧙 Reminder: While cannabis sales are legal in Nevada, public consumption isn’t. [Las Vegas Review-Journal]
✋ Last Stop: Flavortown

🤑 Will Nevada (Finally) Get a Lottery?
The legislature is considering a constitutional amendment to allow a lottery in the state. City Cast Las Vegas breaks down how it could happen and if that’s good or bad for Nevada. [City Cast Las Vegas 🎧]
Where Is It?
Las Vegas is known as the "ninth island" for its popularity among Hawaiians, yet this hula dancer appears to be holding a lucky clover — just in time for St. Patrick’s Day next Monday.
She’s cute, but also dangerous. (Look at that knife 😳) It’s a striking image that makes a statement.
Where is it?
A. Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar at Town Square?
B. The Rockin’ Ink Tattoo Company at the Westgate?
C. Ai Pono Cafe at Durango?
D. Zippy’s at the Arroyo Crossing shopping plaza?

What To Do
Monday, March 10
- 🩸 Blood Drive at the Clark County Library | 1 - 6 p.m. | Free | Flamingo & Maryland
- 🎶 Mondays Dark at the Space LV | 5 p.m. | $20+ | Polaris & Harmon
- 🍽️ Aroma Latin American Cocina Pop-Up Dinner at Garagiste | 8 p.m. | $129 | Arts District
So about that photo … The answer is C.
The dancer greets visitors to Ai Pono Cafe at Durango’s Eat Your Heart Out food hall. I assume the knife is a reference to the skills of Chef Gene Villiatora and the dice, four-leaf clover, and horseshoe are symbols of luck for the casino patrons.
