Airfare Squeezes Tourism, Another Arena Enters the Chat, and Why Young Nevadans Stay Home

Airfare is climbing fast as jet fuel costs surge, and higher ticket prices could squeeze tourism to Las Vegas, especially for international visitors and budget travelers. We also dig into lingering funding questions around the latest flashy NBA arena proposal on the Strip. Then, a new report shows more young Nevadans are living with their parents, raising bigger questions about housing, wages, and what adulthood looks like now. Plus, in a members-only fourth segment, we ask whether a new cannabis consumption lounge can break into an uneasy market. Guest host Sonja Cho Swanson is joined by creative producer Jacob Solis and newsletter editor Rob Kachelriess. Listen to our episode on the turbulent journey to get legal cannabis in Nevada.
