City Cast Las Vegas is a daily podcast and newsletter created by and for locals (and locals-at-heart) that’ll challenge the easy narratives about our city … and, okay, maybe confirm a few of them, too. Las Vegas is a city of reinvention, bursting at the seams as it welcomes newcomers into its various incarnations as a service-worker union town, a military town, a college town, and, most recently, a sports town.
There’s a four-mile street testifying to our entrepreneurial genius, not far from pockets of staggering inequality. Great wealth runs through our city, but how much of that actually stays in Vegas? We’re independent in spirit, but also ruled by orange traffic cones. Our 2.5 million residents anchor an ever-changing city of 42 million visitors.
Join us every morning for the messy, delightful, complicated conversations that Las Vegans are having: You’ll hear us ask hard questions about where we’ll get our water when Lake Mead runs out, and how we’ll keep housing affordable. We’ll argue over our favorite Chinatown bars, and share insider tips on the best tacos in town. City Cast Las Vegas will show you how loving a city means celebrating it and also holding it accountable, while having some fun along the way—because Las Vegans know how to have a good time.

Why the Badlands Battle Has Raged for 20 Years
The City of Las Vegas has been involved in heated litigation over the Badlands Golf Course for years — and it’s not going well. After their most recent loss in the Nevada Supreme Court this April, the city is on the hook for over $230 million. And now it’s become a topic of contention in this year’s mayoral race. So how did we get here? Co-host Sarah Lohman talks with Channel 13’s Steve Sebelius and Darcy Spears about the twists and turns in this mind-boggling battle, and what it could mean for all of us.

The Issue With Building on BLM Land, CCSD’s Tiniest School, and Farewell, Volcano!
Politicians on all sides of the aisle have pushed the acquisition of federal lands on the outskirts of Las Vegas as a solution for our housing crisis. But is outward expansion the answer? On today’s news roundup, co-hosts Dayvid Figler and Sarah Lohman are joined by Nevada Current journalist Michael “MJ” Lyle, who recently interviewed housing experts about the problems with building out into the desert. Next up, the team looks at the growing fight over the possible shut-down of CCSD’s tiniest school, Lundy Elementary up on Mt. Charleston. And last, with the Mirage volcano’s demolition on the horizon, we talk about its storied history (was it really piña colada-scented?) and how we’ll pay tribute to this Strip icon.

The Las Vegas Weekly’s Shannon Miller tells co-host Dayvid Figler which races are shaping up to be the most contentious, gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how their joint endorsements with the Las Vegas Sun were decided, and why primary elections — which just a handful of votes can sometimes decide — matter so much.

The Most Famous (Fake) Mayor of Las Vegas
For our final episode of Mayoral Mondays, we’re bringing you a very special interview with someone who is quite possibly the most famous (unelected) mayor of Las Vegas: Actress Lauren Weedman plays Vegas Mayor Pezzimenti in HBO’s Emmy award winning show “Hacks.” She and co-host Dayvid Figler sit down to talk about how she gets into character, the surprising Disney connection in her shellacked hairdo, and how actors and politicians have a lot more in common than you might think.
PLUS! City Cast Las Vegas members get a special extended cut of this interview in their ad-free podcast feed. Not a member yet? Join the party!

Customer Reviews
City Cast Vegas is wonderful
I never miss this podcast — great news, issues, guests, opinions, trivia guessing games, etc. I live in Florida and many of your topics are generalizable beyond Vegas (e.g., how to revamp consequences for administrative traffic stops; neighborhoods taking responsibility for each other by putting food for the taking out in their yards; Biden admin preserving Avi Kwa Ame as a National Monument; etc.) Thank you to all of you for making my days so much happier, smarter, and brighter!
Local & Quick
Interesting topics ranging from entirely local to nationally relevant w/ a touch of Vegas. Also, the 20 min episodes make it the perfect commuter listen. Like a morning / afternoon drive radio show, but only the great commentary. Only critique, if I have to have one, is some conversations are one-sided between guests and host perspective. Would prefer a little more neutrality from hosts or adding another guest for diversity of opinions. Regardless, it’s always a fun listen and a podcast I recommend to locals in So. Nevada.
Get to Know the Valley
I recently moved to the Las Vegas area and am really enjoying using this podcast to get to know my new city. The hosts have great food and entertainment recommendations, as well as thorough coverage of local news stories.
