SAY SHE SHE The sequined soul of disco funk lives on in this Brooklyn-based trio, who’ve cited Rotary Connection and Chic as major influences. Founded by vocal powerhouses Nya Gazelle Brown, Sabrina Cunningham and Piya Malik, Say She She recalls the shimmering heartbeat of ’70s and ’80s dance clubs. The trio saturates its sound in airy, three-part harmonies; lustrous, layered instrumentation; and the grooving accents of a jam-inclined, fully relaxed band. Tracks like “Astral Plane” and “Cut & Rewind” will sound heavenly in a live setting. And Las Vegas’ own B.

LATE NIGHT DRIVE HOME Since the end of the pandemic (whenever that happened), El Paso indie rockers Late Night Drive Home have been developing As I Watch My Life Online, their first full-length album, which finally arrived this spring. It’s been a long wait for a band that formed in 2019; broke through in 2021 with a vintage, synth-driven sound and Strokes-esque single “Stress Relief”; and signed with Epitaph in 2023 and played major fests like Coachella and Austin City Limits. The new album hammers down on themes of over-reliance on technology and entertainment escapism, but never gets too heavy thanks to healthy amounts of guitar distortion and warm melodies. Now we can test the theory that sometimes songs that sound a bit melancholy on wax can really slap live. With Alexsucks, 8 p.m., $33-$56, 24 Oxford, etix.com. –Brock Radke

Make your own summer sushi party BY KIM FOSTER
E N T E R T A I N I N G
The great thing about a summer sushi party is that everything is pre-prepped and there is little actual cooking. This is the kind of party you can host while being out all day in the pool. When everyone gets peckish, you can put everything on a tray and set it out for people to gobble up, while never turning on a stove or oven.
Keep it simple.
You don’t need to offer weird combinations, or take a maki rolling or fish cutting master class. You are not opening a restaurant. You are not trying to be a sushi master. YouTube has a lot of tutorials and you can wrap and cut whatever way you like, as long as your knife is sharp. People mostly like to eat the usuals—salmon, tuna, yellowtail, shrimp, crab, roe. To keep costs down, do one or two kinds of fish and vary the inexpensive vegetables and add-ons.
You have only one job: take care of the fish.
The most important thing is that the fish is fresh, has been properly frozen to kill parasites, and that you keep it cold (a platter sitting on a tray of ice is a great, no hassle idea). There is nothing more dangerous or unappetizing than room temp raw fish. And you absolutely can make someone sick with long-sitting lukewarm fish, so be attentive.

INGREDIENTS: Rice
• Sushi rice (seasoned with rice vinegar, salt, sugar)
Seaweed
• Nori seaweed paper
Proteins
• Salmon • Tuna • Cooked shrimp • Crab • Fish eggs • Cooked eel • Tofu
Vegetables
• Carrots, julienned • Avocado, sliced • Scallions, julienned • Cucumber, batons • Sprouts • Peppers, julienned • Any pickled veg
Condiments
• Kewpie mayo • Sriracha • Soy sauce (or tamari) • Pickled ginger • Unagi (eel) sauce
Debunking the myth of sushi grade fish.
Sushi grade is largely a marketing term. The FDA doesn’t regulate what fish can and can’t be eaten raw. Tuna and farmed fishes tend to be safe without freezing. But generally, you want the best quality fish you can get that has been previously frozen. Buy your fish from a dedicated monger or talk to the people behind the fish counters at H Mart, 99 Ranch, 168 Market, Nakata Market of Japan, Shun Fat Supermarket or International Marketplace, all of whom have busy, high-turnover fish departments.
Make it pretty.
The food is the table landscape, so arrange your fish and vegetables beautifully, surrounded on the table with extras, condiments and tools. Tools like mats, chopsticks, rice paddles and tweezers can be fun accents on the table. Because there are lots of colorful ingredients in bowls and laid out in rows and circles, your guests will be blown away with the bounty of it. Have fun.
Kick off the party.
Make a simple pot of miso soup, put out a stack of small bowls and spoons, and keep it low and warm on the stove for guests to serve themselves.
Extras
• Sesame seeds • Scallions, finely diced • Furikake • Fried onions • Fried garlic • Chili crisp • Chili oil
RMANCE
Variety is the point of the sushi party.
It’s always good to make a couple fish choices with different preparations. Take some of your tuna, chop it coarsely, add scallions, Kewpie mayo, salt and Sriracha for spicy tuna. Crab loves Kewpie mayo as well. Combine salmon pieces with some chopped seaweed, sesame oil, soy sauce, salt, red pepper flakes, scallions, squirts of lemon, and dress with chopped cashews and sesame seeds for a poke that’s always a hit with guests.
People love make-yourown anything.
People love to make their own and choose their own ingredients—so much control! And a lot of people will have never made their own sushi before. Feel free to do a rolling demonstration, if you think it will help your guests. You can roll the maki with a mat, have folks make a rice bowl, or handroll a cone. There is no sense being persnickety or worrying about technique. This is about using our own hands to make ourselves a meal that we eat together.
End simply.
End with a sliced fruit platter, mochi ice cream in a variety of flavors, Japanese candies, chocolates or fruit jellies.
Make the leftovers count.
Leftover rice, proteins and veg can be repurposed and cooked to make fried rice, bibimbap, hot pot, chirashi sushi or congee. Or, if you have chickens, they will lose their minds!

Superintendent Jhone Ebert brings a fresh start to CCSD
C O V E R
S T O R Y
BY SHANNON MILLER
In the office of Clark County School District Superintendent Jhone Ebert is a Golden Apple award for her six years as Nevada Superintendent of Public Instruction. “For six years as Nevada’s unstoppable ‘Energizer Bunny’ empowering students, teachers and schools with boundless energy, enthusiasm and pure dedication,” it reads. After proving her effectiveness in the state’s highest administrative position in education, Ebert was selected to become CCSD’s superintendent in a unanimous vote by the school board in March. Coming up on her first 100 days as the district superintendent and the beginning of her first full school year, her hallmark energy is undiminished. “There are days that I wake up before my alarm and I’m like, let’s go! What’s on the agenda?” she says. Ebert is a breath of fresh air for the fifth largest school district in the nation, which had been without a permanent superintendent since the resignation of the embattled former superintendent Jesus Jara in February 2024, whose tenure was marked by conflict with the school board, employee unions and lawmakers. Ebert, who was a math teacher and administrator in CCSD for 25 years before she was appointed to state superintendent, has inherited a district overseen by interim superintendent Brenda Larsen-Mitchell. She is building on successes as well as challenges. The Weekly sat down with Ebert to talk about those challenges, what she brings to the table, and her goals and vision for the more than 300,000 students and more than 40,000 staff who make up the school district.
Your rise to superintendent marks a couple of firsts for CCSD—you’re the first Asian-American person to be in the position, and the first woman. How does your background translate to your leadership? Being the first female in 2025—when you think about that, how does that happen? And how do we make sure that it’s not another 50 years before there’s another female? Head on, you go into these rooms, and there are mainly men in them. And there are difficult days. There are times when they’re looking at me like, ‘Oh, isn’t she sweet.’ But it’s not about being sweet, it’s [about] the intellectual capital that all women bring to the table. There are days that I think about it. But it doesn’t keep me from acting any differently on behalf of children. In my upbringing, I saw the educators. [They] did not look at me as a free and reduced lunch kid. They looked at me as a child that had so much potential. They said I could go to college even though we financially couldn’t afford it. We took advantage of the federal Pell Grants ... and now it comes full circle. You’re picking up where former superintendent Jara and interim superintendent Larsen-Mitchell left off. What successes and challenges have you inherited? The implementation of common materials across our school district [is one success]. Because we have children that move across our school district, we need to be consistent. 30% of our children are transient. And so, we need to foolproof ourselves and make sure there’s consistency in learning. The prior administration made sure there were common materials in language
arts, mathematics and so forth. On the side of improvement, communication. When I was doing my research for this position, a lot of parents were seeing little to no communication from the school district. To the point of meeting children where they’re at, how do we meet our community where it’s at? We’ve been building back the relationships. What is your approach to building those relationships? Building back trust takes an open conversation. That doesn’t mean that we’re always going to agree. I think people think trust is about agreement. No, trust is [about] being accurate with the information that you have, listening to those that have a different opinion. The [national] data does show that parents really love their schools. But when you talk about the district, they don’t so much love the district. And that’s a very interesting dynamic. So we’re working with principals [on the message] that we are all CCSD. We’re lifting up and changing that narrative that, yes, my neighborhood school is great. And the district is great also. Especially nowadays, some parents have mistrust in the district, schools and teachers, and they want more say in how classrooms are run. How do you balance the need for parents to be heard, while also empowering teachers and administrators to make decisions and do their job? In my former job, I was appointed by Gov. [Steve] Sisolak, a Democratic governor, and then reappointed by [Republican] Gov. Joe Lombardo. That is extremely rare, and I’m very proud of that.
L A S V E G A S W E E K LY
Let the adults do their politics or whatever they need to do. Our job is to grow Democrats, Republicans, Independents. We want to grow critical thinkers so that when they leave our classrooms, they can analyze information and then make determination on where they would like to go in their life. Among many other early wins, in your first 50 days of being superintendent, you established a working group of high school students to provide feedback on mental health service accessibility. How has that gone? The advisory group met last year. They came with ideas and presented in May to the school board on mental health supports for our students. ... Their request was specifically around additional social workers in our schools. We’re fortunate that we continue to receive funding from the Legislature and from the governor with regard to providing supports for mental health. Why is it important to you to include students in gathering feedback and decision-making processes? Student voice is huge. We’re coming in the 22nd century ... but the adults have all the answers? That’s not true. Our children, when you ask them, and families and teachers, they have the answers. So it’s been very important for me to get out into the schools and out into the community.

Local school garden nonprofit Green Our Planet grows its impact with a new headquarters in Las Vegas
C O V E R
S T O R Y
BY GABRIELA RODRIGUEZ
It’s taking STEM learning out of a book and into their hands.” –Annie Burns, senior director of media and marketing, Green Our Planet
Green Our Planet, the nonprofit that’s reshaping how kids learn about sustainability, agriculture, and STEM, has officially broken ground on a new headquarters in East Las Vegas. The new Compassionate Gardens HQ will become a key resource for local students, educators and families, offering not just a building, but a hands-on learning experience that could change lives. Founded in 2013 by Ciara Byrne and Kim MacQuarrie, Green Our Planet has become a game-changer for local schools, bringing garden-based learning into classrooms and giving students the opportunity to get their hands dirty while learning about science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) and sustainability. The organization now operates more than 800 active programs across 44 states and five countries, impacting more than 500,000 students worldwide. With the new headquarters, the organization is moving up a notch. The project officially broke ground on June 5 with support from the Clark County School District and Clark County Commissioner Marilyn Kirkpatrick. The space will feature a hydroponics lab, teaching kitchen, community garden, outdoor classroom and media studio. Annie Burns, senior director of media and marketing for Green Our Planet, says the goal is to provide students with more than just textbooks. “There’s over 3,000 students living in poverty in East Las Vegas. If we can help the next generation of kids become
scientists or farmers ... we want to give them the tools and inspiration to do so,” she says. The hydroponics lab, a key feature of the new headquarters, will showcase six commercial hydroponics systems, a half-acre regenerative garden and a fruit orchard. “They’ll learn biology, chemistry, data science, even engineering. ... It’s taking STEM learning out of a book and into their hands,” Burns says. The media studio, supported by Green Our Planet Studios (a for-profit media production company also founded by Byrne and MacQuarrie) will allow students to create their own educational content. Danielle Payne, a humanities educator and garden coordinator at Jones Blackhurst Elementary, says Green Our Planet’s programs have transformed the school’s culture. Blackhurst, like many schools, had never incorporated a garden-based curriculum before 2018, when they working with the nonprofit. “[Green Our Planet] came in with volunteers and built out the whole garden. We also have pollinator gardens, and they helped us set up three raised beds and start an orchard.” Payne noted how the garden has become an integral part of the school’s curriculum, with students growing everything from corn and kale to pomegranates and figs. The program has not only taught students about gardening, but it’s also sparked a shift in their attitudes toward responsibility and teamwork. “They’re more open to trying different vegetables, and they’re not afraid to get their hands dirty,” she says. The headquarters, slated to open in spring 2026, is a natural extension of Green Our Planet’s work with schools. The space is designed not only to serve as an educational tool, but also as a community center where students, families and educators can come together to sow the seeds for a more sustainable, curious and hands-on generation.

Project 150 helps disadvantaged students pursue their college dreams BY TYLER SCHNEIDER Don Purdue and Patrick Spargur founded the education-based nonprofit Project 150 in 2011 after hearing about a group of 150 homeless students who were then attending Rancho High School. Today, their effort to support “homeless, displaced and disadvantaged” local students has expanded to 75 area high schools and five Nevada colleges. The organization gave a collective $220,000 to 102 awardees at its annual scholarship ceremony on June 18. Each recipient gets an average of $2,500 per year. Of them, 85 were first-generation college students. UNLV senior and third-time scholarship winner Rosemary Hernandez-Lopez is one of 32 who are pursuing a health care-related field. The Rancho alum calls Project 150 “one of my biggest supporters.” “For the students who work like three jobs to pay off their classes, this is something that can help you free up more time for your studies or other opportunities like internships” she says. The nonprofit’s reach extends far beyond scholarships, however. It operates two clothing stores under the Betty’s Boutique moniker, where qualifying students can select up

to five outfits a month with their student ID. It also provides more than 5,000 with food assistance and roughly 800 prom outfits. UNLV junior Naomi Garcia-Suastegui has been both a shopper and volunteer at the boutique. The first-generation college student cites Project 150 as fundamental to helping her overcome her financial barriers en route to graduating third in the Bonanza High School class of 2023 and beyond. “Basically, the biggest challenge was feeling a little lost because I didn’t have my parents to go to. I started figuring out by myself, and these resources really helped a lot. For me, it was about overcoming the unknown, but they help you get through it,” Garcia-Suastegui says. Hernandez-Lopez, Garcia-Suastegui and other awardees encourage area high school students to consider submitting an application next year. “For anyone thinking of applying for Project 150, I’d give the same advice I told myself—it doesn’t hurt to try,” Garcia-Suastegui says. “I applied to whatever opportunities I found, and I was able to pay off my tuition fully on scholarships this year.” “So many of my fellow peers think they’re not capable of applying for scholarships, but they really are,” Hernandez-Lopez adds. “I feel like Project 150 is pretty flexible with who they can accept, and as long as they just put the effort in on their essay and volunteer hours, they should be OK.”

BY TYLER SCHNEIDER Megan Griffard’s early education career included a stint teaching at Mojave High School before she left to pursue her doctorate out of state. She returned in 2022 to find the Clark County School District battling a staggering 1,367 vacant teaching positions. “When we were growing up, you were a career teacher. You could rely on it being a steady paycheck, decent benefits, good retirement and a fairly stable work environment,” explains the UNLV assistant professor and education policy expert. “Now, people who go into the profession of teaching don’t last as long because the job itself has gotten substantially harder. The public perception of teachers, especially after COVID, has gotten unfairly negative, and you also just can’t support a family on a teacher’s salary anymore.” CCSD’s shortages remained above 1,000 through 2024, but the district is now reporting a stunning turnaround as it enters the 2025-26 academic year with 800 new teachers and just
280 reported vacancies. It’s an encouraging development, but some educators in the Valley are still sounding the alarm. Vicki Kreidel, an elementary teacher at Lomie G. Heard Elementary and former president of the National Education Association of Southern Nevada teachers’ union, is among those who continue to worry. The 23year classroom veteran says the pandemic represented a “fundamental shift” in student behavior that only exacerbated the region’s classroom staffing woes. “So many educators that I know personally are looking for a way to exit teaching because it doesn’t feel like a safe place to be anymore. It takes time away from your family, and if you don’t have a family, you’ll have time to do nothing but work, even in the summers,” Kreidel says. “For many of us, the payoff isn’t enough to stay in the profession anymore.” Kreidel and Griffard’s experiences are echoed in a 2024 fact sheet from the Learning Policy Institute that ranked Nevada in

As CCSD welcomes 800 new teachers, veteran educators say retention remains a concern
the bottom quintile of all U.S. states in categories like school vacancies, performance-related job insecurity, professional development resources, expenditures per pupil, and an abysmal average student-to-teacher ratio of 21-to-1. The analysis combines some of those metrics with federal and state data on working conditions and compensation to arrive at a composite “teacher attractiveness rating.” Nevada’s score of 2.2 ties Arizona and Colorado for second-to-last nationally, with only Florida’s 1.7 falling below that. Griffard acknowledges that Nevada policymakers and education leaders have come to recognize the issue and its many overarching causes. Still, she believes we’re still firmly in the middle of the modern vacancy crisis, especially at schools in economically disadvantaged neighborhoods. Tim Hughes, executive director for the Nevada chapter of Teach for America—a national program that recruits and trains
recent college graduates to teach in low-income communities—is among many local stakeholders who are working toward a solution. “Twenty years in, we have 800 alumni still in Nevada, and 350 of them are still teaching in the classroom today,” Hughes says, adding that the last two years have yielded nearly 100 new teachers. Having worked with Teach For America since 2009, Hughes was present when Griffard was a participant from 2012 through 2014. He recently touted the program at a July 31 CCSD teacher onboarding event at M Resort, alongside representatives from other professional development pipelines like the UNLV-based Nevada Forward Apprenticeship Program. UNLV Associate Dean of Academic Programs and Initiatives Kenny Varner launched the Nevada Forward Apprenticeship Program in 2021 as a pilot with just 36 participants on the premise of providing free tuition and “removing the hurdles” that previously stifled their prospects for career advancement. It now serves more than 1,200 students, many of whom are already employed by CCSD as paraprofessionals or in other teaching-adjacent roles. “We became a registered ap-
prenticeship, which usually makes people think of electricians, plumbers and carpenters. We use that same mindset of giving them additional skillsets while they’re still working,” Varner says. “Most recruitment and retention efforts focus on that 18-year-old high schooler who’s going to college, but we know around 60% of them leave within the first three years. We find people who’ve already made a long-term investment in schools but couldn’t afford to finish their education.” Nevada Forward got its start thanks to a mix of pandemic-era federal funding from the American Rescue Plan and the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund. Varner says UNLV has since diversified its sources to stay afloat at a time when federal support is far less reliable. On that front, a recent scare came when the U.S. Department of Education withheld nearly $7 billion in funding for several key national programs, including initiatives geared toward teacher retention and development. The administration capitulated on that decision last month following vocal opposition from both sides of the aisle. According to the National
Education Association, Nevada is expected to receive just over $61 million from that pool. The largest share comes from a $19.6 million chunk set aside for the Supporting Effective Instruction professional development grant program. Kreidel is encouraged by the reversal, but adds that the education system remains “under attack” in the current political landscape. For her, the retention issue could be further addressed by bolstering mental health offerings for educators. “I’m now dealing with some stress-related health issues that I believe are directly related to my career. I have an autoimmune disease, which directly affects how I feel day-to-day, and a lot of educators I know have conditions like that,” she says. It’s one of many compounding concerns that Griffard says should be prioritized going forward if districts like CCSD hope to maintain their recent staffing gains. “Research shows that it is more economically efficient for school districts to focus on retaining their teachers, versus those same districts having to spend huge amounts of money every year to recruit and onboard new ones, which takes up a much bigger por-
L A S V E G A S W E E K LY
tion of the budget,” Griffard says. “That’s a piece that’s still missing, because many are still going to other careers or retiring early.” As Kreidel prepares to teach third grade for the first time this year, she offers some advice for younger educators. “Have a hard line and make a boundary. There were days in the past when I would spend the entire weekend working in my classroom, but I don’t do that anymore,” she says. “If you go into the profession and don’t fight the urge to give it everything you have, you’re not really doing yourself or your students any favors. You want them to see you modeling a healthy work-home balance.”

Living Grace Homes, which provides shelter, food and medical care for homeless pregnant and parenting women ages 14 to 24, stands on the brink of transformation with the opening of a new center that will triple its bed capacity and expand the services it offers. The campus will house a 24-hour office, emergency beds, a full kitchen, therapy rooms, space for programming and a greenhouse. It will provide everything from emergency housing to life skills training, and most importantly, serve women over age 24 for the first time. “We’ve gotten calls from people (who are) 36, 41, 25, which is so pain-
ful to not be able to help them,” said case manager Cynthia Jeffries, who was part of the program 16 years ago during her second pregnancy. Living Grace Homes was founded in 2007 by Kathleen Miller as a foster home for young pregnant women, but has evolved to serve as a “safe haven” for pregnant girls and women experiencing homelessness. The organization has served nearly 900 young mothers and provided care to at least 695 full-term babies. Gwen Harvey, executive director, stressed that one of the most critical services Living Grace Homes provides is transportation to medical appointments because some pregnant
women access care for the first time while staying with the organization. Earlier access to prenatal care means less risk of complications during the pregnancy, which can keep babies out of local Neonatal Intensive Care Units. It’s been estimated that Living Grace Homes has saved the state over a million dollars in medical costs over the past 18 years by keeping babies out of the NICU, Harvey said. There’s no set timeline for when the organization plans to open the new location, but the hope is to have emergency beds available by the end of this year, Harvey said. –Grace Da Rocha

7 awards bets to make to start a football futures betting portfolio BY CASE KEEFER
C U L T U R E
•
S P O R T S
Going into football season, betting on players to win awards is now every bit as popular as wagering on teams to win championships. Ideally, serious bettors can build a portfolio with a handful of players in each category from when the odds posted months ago all the way through the season. The constant fluctuation in prices makes it imperative to buy in at the right time. But it doesn’t help at all to share long-gone odds or even much to discuss who to target during the season. So, let’s assume we’re starting from scratch and find the best bet on the board in seven of the biggest awards categories heading into the start of the season. Here’s where the value currently lies.
Heisman Trophy
NFL Offensive Player of the Year
Florida quarterback DJ Lagway at 25-to-1 (Circa Sports)
Cincinnati Bengals receiver Ja’Marr Chase at 9-to-1 (Boyd Sports)
The sophomore former top national recruit might be the single most talented quarterback in the country, and the odds initially moved in a manner to reflect that reality. Lagway got as low as 15-to-1 in the offseason, but his price has since shot back up with news of a calf injury to pair with a pre-existing shoulder concern. But Gators coach Billy Napier has downplayed the severity and declared Lagway as “day-to-day.” At this long of a price on a player with this much talent, let’s take a risk and trust Napier is being truthful.
NFL Most Valuable Player Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson at +550 (i.e. risking $100 to win $550) (Caesars/William Hill) Controversy is still roaring over Bills quarterback Josh Allen edging Jackson for the NFL’s most prestigious honor a year ago in one of the closest races of all time. Jackson, whom the same voting base slotted above Allen as a first-team All-Pro at the quarterback position, had the better statistical production. Allen was deemed more indispensable to his team. Jackson, who’s just now entering the traditional prime for passers at 28 years old, will get the benefit of the doubt this time around if he maintains a similar level of play. He’s the best player in the NFL—at least in the regular season before Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes annually raises his game in the playoffs—so there’s no reason to expect a falloff.
Running backs have won this award in back-to-back years— Philadelphia Eagles star Saquon Barkley last year after the San Francisco 49ers’ Christian McCaffrey in 2023—but it should usually be easier for a receiver to stand out. Chase goes into his fifth year battling with close friend and former Louisiana State teammate Justin Jefferson for the title as the best receiver in football. Jefferson already won this award, in 2022, and has a less reliable quarterback throwing to him in de facto rookie J.J. McCarthy to Chase’s Joe Burrow. Chase won the receiving triple crown last year—leading the league in catches, touchdowns and yards—and may have deserved more consideration against Barkley. Like Jackson, getting passed over last season should help sway sentiment his way this year.
NFL Defensive Player of the Year Las Vegas Raiders edge rusher Maxx Crosby at 16-to-1 (Boyd) There’s never been a question if the face of the Raiders’ franchise was dominant enough to merit this award. The only concern was if the Raiders could win enough to earn him consideration. Hopes are higher this year with new coach Pete Carroll. If Las Vegas breaks through, it’s going to be just as much for its defense as its offense—and Crosby is the one and only star on the unit. His ascension stopping the run game is a major plus, as he can rack up as many tackles for losses as sacks. He doesn’t deserve to be favored over the likes of Dallas Cowboys counterpart Micah Parsons (who’s as low as 7-to-1) but the gap between Crosby and the top tier shouldn’t be this large.
L A S V E G A S W E E K LY
Offensive Rookie of the Year
Comeback Player of the Year
Tennessee Titans quarterback Cam Ward at 5-to-1 (Circa Sports)
Detroit Lions edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson at 3-to-1 (Caesars/William Hill)
It’s straight-up bizarre to see a No. 1 overall pick at the sport’s most important position available at this high of a price. The hype on Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty (available at as low as +250) is overshadowing the player who was the consensus top prospect in this year’s draft. Ward has his flaws, but his arm talent and athleticism also produces the kinds of highlights that should be inescapable. Rookie quarterbacks used to struggle more, but the past two winners of this award—Washington’s Jayden Daniels last year and Houston’s C.J. Stroud in 2023—posted historic seasons immediately. If anyone’s going to continue the trend this year, it’s Ward.
The now third-year edge rusher was the favorite to win Defensive Player of the Year six weeks into last season, when he went down with a grisly leg injury. A lot of star players get hurt every year, but few are carted off the field with the future of their careers called into question after breaking their leg in two places. Against all odds, Hutchinson is reportedly dominating in Detroit during training camp less than a year later. He could regain the form to get back into the Defensive Player of the Year running (where’s he’s as low as 7-to1) but that’s a major ask. This award will be easier to nab with everyone inspired by his recovery as long as Hutchinson gets back to being a steady contributor.
Coach of the Year Jacksonville Jaguars coach Liam Coen at 14-to-1 (Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook) This is less a commentary on Coen’s head-coaching acumen, which remains unknown, than it is the situation he inherits in Jacksonville. The Jaguars bottomed out last year with a 4-13 record despite being more around league average in terms of roster talent. A major improvement feels like a given, especially with Jacksonville in what might be the league’s worst division in the AFC South. Coen, known as a quarterback whisperer, is also bound to get a lot of the credit if Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence manages a bounce-back season.

The THIRD Street project puts a theater incubator right where we need one
C U L T U R E
•
S T A G E
BY GEOFF CARTER The Arts District probably didn’t need a multiplex. The seven-screen Eclipse/ Art Houz/Downtown Cinemas complex, located at 814 S. 3rd Street, has long struggled to project confidence in the shadow of the Beverly Theater and Palace Station’s Cinebarre. Now, a group of local cultural entities—including Vegas Theatre Company, Vegas City Opera, Laugh After Dark, Las Vegas Sinfonietta and marquee magician Teller—are converting the underperforming multiplex into a theatrical incubator, named for the street where it lives. “THIRD Street is the answer to a question Las Vegas has been asking for decades,” said Vegas City Opera executive director Ginger Land-van Buuren in a statement. “Where do we go to tell our stories, train our talent, and create something truly our own? This is where Vegas-made creativity takes center stage.” Most of the hard work in creating this instant theater district is already done, but there’s still some $5 million worth of renovations needed before the complex can welcome its first productions in spring 2026, says Daz Weller, Vegas Theatre Company’s executive artistic director. Weller spoke about THIRD Street’s scope and ambitions while sitting in the theater’s restaurant space, which he hopes will become an all-day café. “Our patrons are going to include creative people arriving at eight in the morning and possibly students and parents of students arriving throughout the day, [people arriving] for matinee performances and preshow dinners,” Weller says. “Part of the idea behind this place is, when we get the design right, it becomes not just a hub for these resident companies, but it can accommodate other companies and share resources. It becomes a sort of WeWork for the arts.”

BRUCE August 15, 6 p.m., $250. Downtown Cinemas, thirdstreet.vegas.
Yeah. There are so many creative people here, and whether they’re engaged full-time with their golden handcuffs on shows on the Strip, or whether they’re new residents here who are moving because of the cost of living, Vegas is a great place to be right now. There are so many people who want to make stuff and tell stories and make art, and we lack the spaces and the infrastructure and the institutions to make that happen. And Michael Park, the real estate agent who’s sort of representing this building, would often drive by the theater, and he was like, “Hey, Daz, get in the car. I want to show you something.” And so, we walked through, got excited. We set up a meeting with the owners of the building, who were out from New York, and pitched them the idea of turning it into a performing arts center of sorts. They were interested, and the conversations have kept moving forward.
What’s the plan? The plan is ambitious, but it’s phased. The first phase is a low-impact conversion of the building. We change cinema 2 into a 250-seat, proscenium style theater. We change cinema 6, which is one of the small ones, into a 150-seat black box theater. We leave two screening rooms available for use as screening rooms, soundstages, sound recording studios or post-mix facilities. And we turn the third-floor event space into a sort of Broadway-ready rehearsal space that also still functions as a beautiful event space.
I didn’t even realize this building had a third floor. It’s the best part of the building. Windows on two sides; you look over Downtown and the mountains. It’s gorgeous.
Elephant in the room: Let’s talk fundraising. We’re looking to raise $5 million. $3 million or so of that goes toward the build-out, and then $2 million goes toward programming and overheads and staffing for the first two years. [Vegas Theatre Company is] a half-million-dollar company, and to
look at spending $3 million on capital build out is large. But compared to other projects in town that are looking for 10 times that, this is a low-risk way to test the idea of, does Vegas even want this? That’s the question we need to answer through fundraising. … We know that there’s potential here. The Smith Center proves there’s an audience for this kind of work. We only need a fraction of that audience to make this size space successful.
Where do I send the check? Our first big fundraising event is here in the space on August 15. Richard Oberacker and Robert Taylor are working on Bruce, their musical about Jaws, and they offered a reading of it as a fundraiser. It’s a great showcase for what we want to do here at THIRD Street, which is incubating new work. It’s about building the audience. Rather than looking for one or two or five sources to fund us, it’s about getting a much wider reach, because that becomes our audience—the people who turn up who’ve said yes. $5 million is 100 donations of $50,000 which, when you break it down like that, seems achievable.

Dustland is destined to change the Art District’s tune for the better

Dustland is in the details. They practically spill out the front door. The reversed “D” at the end of the bar’s old-timey logo. The analog photo booth. The glassware shaped like Solo party cups. The custom wallpaper in the ladies’ room, featuring the owners’ pets.

Dustland even has a theme song, performed by Kentucky band the Honkytonk Wranglers. It’s on the Instagram page. Bar with a theme song! Co-owners Jen Taler and Roxy Hendrickson and bar manager Kat Calma are only too happy to point out more details of this high desert-styled bar and music venue, recently opened on the Art District’s Commerce Street

WITCHY WAYS
“We love us an Ace Hotel.” Dustland ties together all these influences and ideas so seamlessly that it all feels easy; like it wasn’t purpose-built but discovered, intact, from Vegas’ frontier-chic beginnings. But at the same time, Dustland is so fitted to its moment that the neighborhood might have willed it into existence. The bar’s back patio stage, with room for a couple of hundred people before it, will become vital when Taler activates it this fall: she’s already speaking with several local promoters about booking for it. Calma’s bar program, which features a beer collaboration with Juxta Nomad—a tumble wheat, prickly pear and peppercorn hefeweizen—is adventurous enough to satisfy explorers from Liquid Diet and Prowl. And the careful attention to nearly everything, from Hendrickson’s handsomely re-upholstered barstools on out, reminds you of what neighborhood you’re in. Dustland is music, drink and vibe, but it’s also a collaborative piece of art that will only become more itself over time. “Logan and Roxy have such a great design business … From a design perspective, I didn’t have to really think or say anything, because I already love what they can do,” Taler says. “I’ve had the operational background, the opening of a large-scale project [in Fergusons]. And then, being able to find Kat to do the bar programming … it really created this great partnership between the four of us, to create something magical.”
There’s a quiet whisper in the Arts District, one we’re starting to believe—that the place is being overrun by witches. Dark Sister, a coven-like cocktail bar that opened in March, has only confirmed our suspicions. The moment you approach, there’s no mistaking it. A white planchette decal on the window, a nod to the occult, marks the beginning of dark enchantment inside: the exposed brick, velvety and dark furniture and twisting greenery; the full suit of armor looming at the bar’s edge, watching you like an ancient sentinel. But it’s the bar top that really casts the spell—a dark wooden stretch, littered with dead flowers and tarot cards, encapsulated in a shiny resin finish like a magic trap. The whole place feels like a fortune teller’s lair: intimate, mysterious and irresistibly seductive. As for the drinks, they’re witchcraft in liquid form. The Devil’s Dance ($16) is a fiery rum con-
coction served in a skull glass with chili “horns,” while the coconut-fat-washed Paradise Lost ($17) pulls you straight into tropical decadence. But if you’re looking to truly lose yourself, the Lucid Dream ($15) is a lavender-infused tequila trip you won’t soon forget. Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, a seasoned drinker or a casual one, Dark Sister’s spellbinding menu has something worth sipping.

When someone finally writes the definitive book about the history of dining in Las Vegas (maybe we should do it?) there will be a chapter about Edo. Veterans of casino fine-dining institutions Le Cirque and Bazaar Meat, Oscar Amador and Robert Liendo opened Edo Tapas & Wine in a small space in Chinatown in 2018, a wildly creative, Barcelona-inspired restaurant that wowed locals and tourists from the jump. Although Vegas already had some great Spanish food, this was uniquely next-level, a chef-driven experience we assumed could only be had in a pricey Strip destination. Its cool neighborhood location (just 35 seats) set a new standard, as did joy-inducing flourishes like the gin and tonic cart, the Iberico de Bellota program and the Green Tartare with pistachio vinaigrette. Now it’s time for a new evolution. Edo will serve its last meal in September, closing for a full refresh in order to become a new concept. The company also operates the equally acclaimed Anima at the Gramercy and is readying Braseria on Paradise Road, which should open this year. That adds up to a lot of excitement from some of the dining scene’s brightest stars, but right now it’s time to get back into Edo one more time. “Edo has been the story of my career so far, from Spain and El Bulli to Las Vegas and Le Cirque,” Amador said in a statement. “We are looking forward to seeing all of the guests that have built Edo with us and helped us open Anima in the Southwest, as I get ready for another chapter in this space.” –Brock Radke

TECH-FORWARD ICE CREAM TRUCKS TO TAKE ORDERS IN LAS VEGAS
B U S I N E S S
B Y K AT I E A N N M C C A R V E R VEGAS INC STAFF
A tech-forward ice cream truck founded about five years ago in Westfield, New Jersey is coming to Las Vegas. The Scream Truck is estimated to hit the streets by mid-September. “When we got on our first truck and we were doing our routes, we would turn a corner and a family would be waiting outside for the truck, and they’d be jumping up and down and screaming,” said founder and CEO Eric Murphy. “Scream Truck made it a little bit of a nod to ice cream, but we also knew that Scream Truck could be something that people are just excited to get.” Murphy, a “huge ice cream fan,” said he was always fond of ice cream trucks—but they were always “beat-up vans with prepackaged SpongeBob pops.” He wanted to create a tech-forward experience and alternative, which became the impetus of Scream Truck. By the end of this year, Scream Truck is set to have about 125,000 registered households, making for a few hundred thousand customers across 175 towns in northern New Jersey. Las Vegas is the ideal market for Scream Truck because of its density, which means the trucks can make more stops within their one-hour delivery windows, as well as its event and convention business opportunities, Murphy said. “The last thing is just the fact that it’s Vegas, and people go to Vegas from all over the world and all over the country,” he said. “So for people to see Scream Truck and learn about the brand in
that environment ... it’s going to be great for us.” Southern Nevada’s climate means more sellable days for Scream Truck, and master-planned communities mean the truck can hit hundreds of homes in one go, according to Louis Abin, founder and CEO of Ironbound Projects, a hospitality group leading the Las Vegas expansion. “It’s kind of like when we used to sell bottle service and Chinese food to the hipsters,” said Abin, a former partner of Tao Group. “Now, the hipsters have two kids, and they think that this is a great idea. And it would really resonate with that demographic.” Abin is working alongside his best friend turned business partner John Sumas, CEO of Village Super Market, who lives in New Jersey and was an early investor in Scream Truck, Murphy said. “It’s kind of a mix between Uber Eats meets Amazon,” said Abin. Unlike the traditional ice cream truck, Scream Truck is “pre-marketed,” Abin said. Users submit their name, phone number and address on the company’s website. Then, through proprietary software called Implse, they’ll receive a text in advance if the Scream Truck is going to be in their ZIP code. “We’ll tell you we’re going to be in your neighborhood between this time and this time, (and) would you like to place an order,” Abin said. “And it’s a wildly successful impulse purchase.”
Scream Truck aggregates its orders, which go into the software, which routes everything according to time and location, Abin said. Once it reaches critical mass, the truck leaves the warehouse. Users receive another ping when the truck is two minutes away, and are met with soft serve made to order. The truck can also be booked for private parties or business events, Abin said. And though the Scream Truck doesn’t play the tell-tale jingle of other ice cream trucks, it does have a curated music playlist, two big customizable screens for events and unique menu items including sundaes, shakes and more. “It’s fun, and if you’re having a crappy day, to go out to the truck and hear some great music and get an awesome product—people love it,” Murphy said. Scream Truck is an extra-personalized, super-efficient, tech-driven concept, Abin said. “Out of all the concepts I’ve ever owned or been a part of, my kids think that this is beyond the most exciting and best thing to date,” said Abin, whose Ironbound Projects is also behind brands like Lotus of Siam and Naxos Taverna at Red Rock Resort. Murphy said the goal is to put 1,000 Scream Trucks on the road across the country by 2030 to 2032. Once it builds up a large enough database, Scream Truck then can launch a pizza concept or a taco truck, or maybe even partner with a local bakery or restaurant. There’s a lot of opportunity to utilize Scream Truck’s delivery concept in different ways, Murphy said. “The company is really built around technology,” he said. “We’re really a technology company first … The company wouldn’t exist without our software.”
