Hello, Nevadans!
It’s the last day of our fall supporter drive, and I’d like to thank those who have pitched in so far. 💜 Even a dollar shows us that you value our work.
We understand times are tough right now. I feel it, too—I used to be able to fill my car with $50, now that looks more like $75. But that’s why we’re determined to remain a free news source for our community.
Again, THANK YOU for being here. Whether you donate, share our stories, regularly read, or comment and engage on our social media—it means a lot to us.

Thank you for starting your day with me!

Last week, we learned about Nevada’s wild horses. But reader Colleen L. shared a more domesticated side. This guy is part of Petting Zoo 2 U, a Henderson petting zoo, where he has llamas and camels as roommates.
Many thanks to Colleen L. for sharing Your Nevada!
Sometimes in Southern Nevada, you can be driving through normal city landscape and suddenly come across large properties with horses. That transition always amazes me. It’s a reminder of the Wild West this area once was.

As their name suggests, sage-grouse need sagebrush, the green-brown shrub that once dominated arid Western landscapes. But both the bird and its habitat are rapidly disappearing due to climate change, invasive species, wildfires, and energy development.
Now a mining company wants to extract lithium here.
Millions of sage-grouse once filled the West, but federal data shows their numbers have plummeted 80% since 1965 as more than a million acres of the sagebrush landscape they depend on is lost every year. They’ve long teetered toward the endangered-species list.

Jannelle Tries: The Coffee Note, newest jazz club in Las Vegas

For this Jannelle Tries, I’m back home and checking out a brand new spot!
If you’re into the Las Vegas coffee scene, or jazz scene, you might have heard that The Coffee Note finally got its own permanent space. The jazz club regularly held pop-ups at Desert Wind Coffee Roasters, bringing live music and mocktails to the coffee shop.
Now, you can find The Coffee Note at 7018 W. Charleston Blvd. They serve coffee (thanks to their partnership with Desert Wind Coffee Roasters), mocktails, and small bites to enjoy while you’re listening to the jazz band, a moody vinyl, or taking part in a jam session.
I visited Monday, which is vinyl night (including Miles Davis). I had the coziest apple cider mocktail with a sugar-cinnamon rim and topped with a cinnamon stick. The evening was rainy and chilly so the autumnal vibes were top notch.
If you’re familiar with the area or the address looks familiar, The Coffee Note is located a few doors down from Yaw Farm Coffee Roaster, which is popular for its blackberry “yawtte” and consistently making “top coffee shop” lists.
Fortunately, you don’t have to choose between supporting two local spots—Yaw is open earlier in the day, it’s your morning jolt, and Coffee Note opens in the evening, where you can unwind and socialize.
My favorite part? Because it does not serve alcohol, anyone can come. And it’s such a unique and much-needed space in the community; it’s not every day you see a jazz club/coffee bar.
