April 27, 2011
When we first launched the show, our tagline was, “With 5,000 people moving here each month, somebody had to spill the beans.”
That was in 2006.
Until recently, we’ve seen a net loss in residents here in Clark County. But in this episode of the Living in Las Vegas Podcast, we hear from two viewers who are making the move to Las Vegas. YES! Show notes:

Good news for our readers in Summerlin. There will be a new Firefly Tapas Kitchen & Bar location coming to the area. The restaurant will be located at 9560 W. Sahara Ave, which is between Grand Canyon and Fort Apache. (It is currently the home of Z’Tejas Southwestern Grill.) Firefly offers Spanish style tapas for lunch, dinner and late night dining all at a affordable price. A large portion of the menu’s over 40 items are under $10.
The new Firefly location will be approximately 6,000 square feet and will seat around 200 people. Firefly has two other locations in the valley: 3900 Paradise Road (by the Hard Rock Casino) and inside the Plaza Hotel (Fremont Street and Main Street). There is no time-line to open the new restaurant, however it should be open by the start of August.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) president Dana White, a Las Vegas resident, is looking to build a better playhouse somewhere in the Summerlin area.
Mr. White is looking at places to build an entertainment complex for families similar to “Dave and Busters” chain. Dave and Busters combine restaurants and bars with a variety of video games, from NASCAR simulations to Boxing simulators, wrestling video games, laser tag, etc. It is unclear if Mr. White’s new potential entertainment complex will serve food and alcohol or even what the name will be. Time line for construction will be within the next 12 to 18 months.
(For UFC Fans, the UFC Fan Expo will be held here in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center May 28th and 29th.)

With temperature in Las Vegas beginning to rise (thankfully), those who frequent Red Rock Resort & Casino will soon have another choice when it comes to cold beer!
Construction is underway to complete Yard House, a restaurant chain that boasts the World’s Largest Selection of Draft Beer.
(That’s a pretty bold claim if you ask me. However I do not posses the liver or youth anymore to know otherwise.)
There is already a Yard House located here in Las Vegas at Town Square.
Construction is well underway and is scheduled to open in June of 2010.
Prost!

Almost anyone that has driven on 215 West by Charleston has seen it. The steel skeleton that stands as one of the Valley’s reminders that the economic slowdown has effected those us of with budgets large and small. I’m talking about the Summerlin Centre Mall (or Red Rock Mall) which was due to have 5 or 6 anchor stores such as Macy’s, Dillard’s, Crate & Barrel with up to 300 stores overall.
Work was halted in late 2008 with the developer, General Growth Properties, citing the economy and lack of financing to continue the project. General Growth Properties then declared bankruptcy protection shortly thereafter. However in the past few days there has been some activity around Summerlin Centre Mall. Several trucks and some heavy equipment (bulldozers and backhoes) have been seen around the property. There has been no formal announcement as of yet, but it could be possible that work may be starting back up soon to complete this project and add some much needed jobs to the local economy. If we find out more information we will let you know!
