Excitement is brewing in Summerlin as a beloved dining spot gears up for a comeback.
Red Rock Resort is reviving Hearthstone Kitchen & Cellar in early 2026, driven by strong guest feedback.

The updated space will feature a modern design, more seating, and an outdoor terrace.

đŸ Meet Tori, The Tortoiseshell Teen Queen! đ» |
Since little Lexa already found her happily-ever-after (go girl! đ ), letâs shine the spotlight on another tiny heart-melter whoâs waiting for her big breakâŠ
Say hello to Tori, a gorgeous 13 week old tortoiseshell kitten with big curious eyes, a sweet little smudged face, and whiskers that deserve their own fan club. She was found near the 6000 block of Carmel Bluff, and now sheâs hanging out at The Animal Foundation hoping her forever family walks through the door any minute.
At just 3.3 pounds of pure kitten energy, Tori is in her âchaotic cuteâ era, playful, snuggly, dramatic, adorable, and absolutely ready to run the household the minute you bring her home.
Her adoption fee is just $75, which is basically the price of one Target run you wish youâd skipped anyway.
đ Location: 655 N. Mojave Rd đŸ Pet ID: A1398314 đ Kennel: CA106
If youâve got room on your couch (and in your heart), Toriâs ready to bring 110% kitten magic into your life.

Summerlin, You’re Gonna Want to Sit Down for This One… |
Weâre diving into the chaos of pets who eat faster than a Summerlin driver merging onto the 215, guts that apparently control our entire personality (rude), and a Disney hugging rule that might just heal half the HOA.
âą Thailandâs pets are now competitive eaters⊠meanwhile your dog is still acting like you never fed him once in his life.
âą Smiling, succeeding, and secretly one HOA email away from losing it? Relatable.
âą Your gut is the real MVP of your mood, which explains a lot about brunch days at Lazy Dog.
âą Thereâs a quiet revolution happening inside Mormon closets, and nope, itâs not color coding.
âą Disneyâs new love lesson: In a hug, donât let go first⊠unless itâs July in Summerlin. Then please let go, we are melting.

What’s Your Post Workout Summerlin Style? |
âą Big Tee + Recovery Slides: Because sometimes the 215 wasnât the only thing that almost took you out.
âą Matching Set + Mini Bag: Pilates princess energy. Youâre not just working out, youâre performing.
âą Gym to Grocery Chic: Hitting EOS then strolling into Trader Joeâs like itâs a runway? Respect.
âą Straight Into Pajamas: The only correct answer, honestly. If you didnât strip the second you got home⊠did you even work out?

Hot Goss Makes You Smarter? Summerlin Scientists (Me) Approve. |
Plot twist: all that âYou will NOT believe who I just saw at Downtown SummerlinâŠâ gossip? Yeah. Apparently, itâs brain food now.
Evolutionary psychologists say gossip started as a survival tool. Back in the day, you needed to know who was trustworthy, who was weird in the tribe, and who would absolutely steal your mammoth steak.
Fast forward to Summerlin, and not much has changed: You still need to know who cut the line at Whole Foods, whoâs back with their ex from The Ridges, and which neighbor is secretly redoing their backyard without HOA approval. (I see you, pool people.)
Hereâs the wild part: when you spill or sip the tea, your brain releases oxytocin, the feel good hormone.
Yep. The same one you get from puppy snuggles, candle shopping at West Elm, or finding a shady parking spot at Red Rock during peak hours.
And rumor has it (lol): âš Empathy boosting, community building, âwatch out for Karenâs exâ gossip = GOOD.
đ« Mean, nasty, soul sucking gossip = Leave it in Henderson.
Todayâs Challenge: Before you whisper, âOK but donât tell anyoneâŠâ ask: đ Is this kind, helpful, or true?
If yes, congratulations, youâre basically a wise neighborhood elder.
If no, pivot to something pure. Like local dog rescues. Or how matcha gives you anxiety. Or how hot it is. Anything works.
Your brain, your neighborhood reputation, and your group chat will thank you. |
From Cosmic Chaos to Carb Crises, Because Even Summerlin Needs Drama Between Brunches |
âą Jupiter retrograde is acting up again, so if things feel weird, blame the planet, not the three matcha lattes you chugged at Makers & Finders.
âą âUnaestheticâ is officially the new aesthetic, which means your messy bun at EOS Red Rock is now fashion. Congrats.
âą Pasta prices might soar, and honestly? Weâre not al dente with that, not when we have weekly cravings at North Italia or Trattoria Reggiano.
âą A punk meets playful collab just dropped, giving full â90s kid nostalgia, the kind youâd totally wear to Downtown Summerlin on a Saturday night.
âą And yes, you might be talking yourself out of your own emotions, especially while pacing around Red Rock Canyon pretending itâs for âclarityâ and not for escaping your HOA stress. |
