Back to EpisodesPopulation Growth Slows, Nevada Snubbed in 2028 Election, and Underrated Outdoor Spaces
Description
Clark County's population growth is slowing dramatically; a new UNLV forecast projects the county won't hit 3 million residents until 2055, a full decade later than previously predicted. So what does that mean for Las Vegas' future? Then, Nevada Democrats lost their bid to hold the first presidential primary in 2028, narrowly falling to South Carolina in a DNC committee vote, and the implications are significant. Finally, did you know there are beavers living in Las Vegas? The Clark County Wetlands Park is one of the valley's most underrated outdoor spaces, and it turns out those beavers are doing some pretty important work for the entire Colorado River watershed. Host Jesse Merrick breaks it all down with Creative Producer Jacob Solis and local artist Vogue Robinson.
