July 9, 2025 · — Adrian González
Mornin’! It’s City Cast editor Adrian González filling in for today.
Growing up in the 90s, I have endless nostalgia for malls — so pour one out for the outlet mall in Primm, a once bustling destination now hanging on to its last store. Hug your Tamagotchis a little tighter tonight.
What's CITY Talking About?
🙉 The Battle Over Noise Downtown
Drama is afoot in the Arts District over a proposed noise ordinance amendment that would ban live music after 10 p.m. On today’s show, host Dayvid Figler chats with Taverna Costera owner Jeff Hwang about the backlash and what it means for gentrification of the area. [City Cast Las Vegas 🎧]
🖼️ Tired: Art Heist, Wired: Art Insurance Fraud
A Las Vegas woman has been sentenced to 50 months in federal prison for filing $3.7 million worth of fraudulent fine art insurance policies for fake clients and keeping the money to herself. Along with fictitious clients, she also forged documents to make it seem like the original insurance loans were paid off, giving her access to additional loans. [Las Vegas Sun 🔒]
🏡 Vegas Home Prices Tie Record High
The median price for an existing single-family home in Vegas is back up to $485,000, a record high recorded earlier this year. Perplexingly, the amount of single-family homes listed without offers is up 70% from 2024 — condos and townhomes listed without offers are also up 87.6% this year, but those prices have also increased.
