One email, every Tuesday. What's worth leaving the house for, what's free with your NV ID, and which weekends to stay off the 15.

Eight hundred things are happening in the valley this week. These are the six we'd actually go to.
Halley's Comet debris, ~20/hr. Leave the valley glow behind — these three are our tested picks, darkest first:
Top-ranked streets by side of town + every trunk-or-treat in the valley, mapped. It shows up here the day it's ready — and hands the spot to the next thing Nov 1.
The recurring community things that live in Facebook groups and flyers. Tap any row for the details a first-timer actually needs.
Run a rec group, run club, or standing meetup? Submit it — if it's real and recurring, it gets listed. That's the whole point of this section.
Every public playground and splash pad in the valley, tagged by what actually matters: shade, water, and whether you can survive it in August. Plus the quiet superpower: the library district runs ~200 free kids events every single week — storytimes to STEAM labs — and the weekly email picks the best ones near you.
The treehouse with slides, the hedge maze, the mini village, and the pop-jet fountain + splash pad — free, and surrounded by coffee for the adults. Splash pad runs park hours. 6605 Las Vegas Blvd S.
Splash pads: ON. Clark County opened pads early this year for record heat and they run into October. County pads include Bob Price Park and Leavitt Park; each city runs its own set.
The full build pulls every park from the Clark County Parks Locator GIS (open data — filterable by amenity: splash pad, dog park, BMX, ball fields) plus the city parks systems, so you can filter by your side of town and by "has water."
DISCOVERY Children's Museum — free for a family of four with a library-district pass. Plus the indoor playground circuit, sorted by age band and chaos tolerance, in the full guide.
No resort restaurants, no $28 cocktails. The corridors locals actually eat in — Chinatown's 200+ spots on Spring Mountain, Commercial Center, Water Street, the Arts District.
Ratings, review counts, and photo carousels sync nightly from Google Places (server-side — the key never ships to the browser). Tap any spot for photos + directions.
One real thing that happened here, every day of the year — atomic tests, grand openings, implosions, and the night Elvis got his crown back.
One date, one story, checked against two sources. The archive fills toward all 366 days — openings, implosions, residency debuts, disasters, championships.
Tourism pays the valley's bills. When it moves, your job, your rent, and your commute move with it. Tap any number for the full history.
One in four valley jobs is hospitality. Visitor volume down → shifts cut at the resorts → less money moving through every off-Strip business. Convention attendance up → weekday traffic and airport load up. We read the LVCVA and DETR releases each month so you get the two lines that matter, not the 40-page PDF.
What your place is worth, what rent is doing, when to water, and the desert-specific chores nobody tells transplants about. Tap the indexes for their history.

Every listing, pinned. Filter by your side of town — because nobody's driving from Centennial Hills to Henderson on a school night.
