Dina Mitchell, a longtime Las Vegas entrepreneur, is fiercely dedicated to her dream of bringing healthy, gluten-free fast food to the masses with her new venture, PowerSoul Cafe.

After 15 years building Tropical Smoothie Cafes in Nevada and Southern California, Mitchell sold her interests and traveled the world, discovering a lack of certified gluten-free options in the fast-food industry.

Inspired by her experiences abroad and her own gluten-free lifestyle, she crafted PowerSoul Café, using strict sourcing—like pesticide-free Italian ingredients and certified gluten-free oats—to ensure safety and quality.

Her journey to a spot on “Shark Tank” was arduous, requiring multiple video auditions and immense perseverance.

Ultimately, her persistence landed her a spot on the show’s upcoming episode on April 15, where she aims to spotlight safe dining options for those with celiac disease or other food sensitivities.

Event cancellations and rescheduling, including the absence of MINExpo and Oracle CloudWorld, contributed to the weakening tourism numbers.

September 2025 saw just 3.1 million visitors — an 8.8% drop from last year — while conventions experienced an even steeper decrease of 18.7%.

Residents of Vista’s Somerset neighborhood are increasingly uneasy following several alarming encounters with a suspicious man reportedly targeting young girls.  

A parent revealed her daughter has been repeatedly followed over the past few weeks by an older white male, around 50, with light dark brown hair, driving a silver car with tinted windows.  

The individual has been seen slowly circling the area and even confronted the girl near her bus stop, demanding she enter his vehicle.  

Frightened, the girl escaped into a nearby parent’s car, forcing the man to speed away.  

That same day, the family’s car was found ransacked, with a mysterious man’s necklace left inside.  

Police have been notified and are expected to investigate.  

Parents in Somerset and across Vista are urged to stay alert, supervise their children closely, and report any suspicious activity to local authorities.  

A recent coyote sighting near Vassiliadis Elementary School in Summerlin prompted a brief campus hold, underscoring rising anxiety about wildlife in local neighborhoods.

Principal Paul Catania notified families on Monday that the school was placed on "hold status" due to a nearby coyote. Clark County School District Police and animal control responded swiftly, but the coyote’s whereabouts remain unknown.

Located near Alta and Desert Foothills drives, Vassiliadis Elementary sits in an area where coyote activity is on the rise. Summerlin residents have reported more sightings, with coyotes increasingly seen roaming streets and backyards, fueling worries about pet safety.

The Nevada Department of Wildlife links this pattern to drought and urban growth pushing coyotes into neighborhoods. NDOW urges residents to secure trash, supervise pets, and report aggressive wildlife as part of community safety efforts.

Summerlin South’s Little League squad remains unbeaten in postseason play, riding a 12-0 streak into the third round of the Little League World Series.

The team has been dominant offensively, scoring 67 runs in just five games since the state tourney.

Attention now turns to pitching, where head coach TJ Fechser carefully manages pitch counts and rest days ahead of Monday’s noon matchup against Irmo, South Carolina.

Backup pitchers Luke D’Ambrosio, Cache Malan, and Jayden Lee stand ready, deepening the staff and offering flexibility as the pressure mounts.

After a weekend break, including a visit to the MLB Little League Classic, the team returns refocused, knowing smart pitching choices could be their path to the U.S. championship bracket.

Death Valley National Park continues to draw crowds eager to witness its record-breaking heat, despite recent temperatures soaring to a blistering 128°F (53.3°C).

Park rangers warn that underestimated risks often lead to one to three heat-related deaths each year, as many visitors seek help after being overcome by the oppressive conditions.

Signs scattered throughout the park highlight the peril, urging people to avoid outdoor activity after 10 a.m. and emphasizing, "HEAT KILLS!"

Yet, tourists regularly downplay these warnings, sometimes placing themselves in grave danger.

Recent incidents include a failed helicopter rescue during extreme temperatures which left a motorcyclist dead and another hospitalized.

With climate change driving more frequent and severe heat waves, park officials urge both locals and travelers to take all safety precautions seriously when visiting this iconic yet treacherous destination.

Each pup goes home spayed/neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated, making it easy to take home a four-legged dance partner.

This upbeat night unites Las Vegas for a cause that will leave tails wagging and spirits high.

Las Vegas animal shelters are experiencing severe overcrowding, especially with large dogs struggling in the stressful shelter environment. Despite the dedication of shelter staff, many dogs are overwhelmed and need a break. The Animal Foundation recently took in more than 900 animals in just two weeks, creating a pressing need for foster homes. In response, the organization has launched a foster incentive program, offering $200 to participants who foster a dog over six months old and more than 35 pounds for at least four weeks. Their goal is to place 75 large dogs into temporary homes within three days. Fostering gives dogs a much-needed respite and helps them become more adoptable by revealing how they behave in a home setting. Community members can also help by reclaiming lost pets, donating supplies, or reuniting found pets with their owners. Opening your home to a foster dog provides real relief to shelters and transforms canine lives.
