Viral Cinnamon Roll Baker vs. Clark County, Henderson Loses NICU and Vegas Hotel Caught Catfishing Guests
A Las Vegas baker went viral for her cinnamon rolls, then got shut down by Clark County for letting customers pick up orders at her front door. Now she's fighting back with a petition that's raising questions about Nevada's cottage bakery laws. Henderson Hospital is ending its maternity and NICU services by the end of September, leaving families in the area with fewer options for one of the most critical moments of their lives. Plus, Good News Friday returns. And in our members-only bonus segment, a Las Vegas hotel has been caught listing itself under fake names with AI-altered photos on major booking sites. Host Jesse Merrick breaks it all down with Spotlight Poetry founder Elle Hope and creative producer Rob Kachelreiss.
