The former Fiesta Henderson site is getting a second life as a 35-acre sports and entertainment complex, and Keep It Local writer Melinda Sheckells joins us to break down what Henderson's vision for the property says about the city’s growth strategy and how it centers around bringing residents together through sports. Then creative producer Rob Kachelriess dishes on a new Japanese omakase concept coming to The BLVD and what it signals about the Strip's evolving culinary strategy. The Las Vegas Aces are wrapping up the regular season and setting their sights on their fourth championship since 2022, so if you've been looking for an entry point into Vegas sports fandom, we make the case for why this team is a great place to start.
