🌄 Henderson-area expansions could bring 200 new jobs

The Henderson Cowboys, my son, and I could use your help! The Cowboys are starting summer practices this week, with age groups ranging from 6 to 14.

Our 10-year-old team is especially looking for a few more players. Do you know any kids who might be interested in joining a team sport this summer? If so, just reply to this email and I’ll share the details.

The Gist: Five companies are planning expansions or relocations across Henderson, North Las Vegas, and Clark County, bringing more than 200 projected jobs and roughly $166 million in investment. The projects span healthcare, clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and AI infrastructure.

Why It Matters: This is the kind of economic growth local leaders have been pushing for beyond tourism and gaming. More companies in tech, manufacturing, and energy could mean a broader job market and more long-term stability for Southern Nevada’s economy.

The smell hits first, and that alone might pull you through the door at Smokeshow BBQ. This new barbecue spot is already building a serious following for tender brisket, rich beef cheeks, and pork belly so soft it barely needs a knife.

The poblano mac and cheese gets almost as much attention as the smoked meats, and the homemade sauces add flavor without stealing the spotlight. Come for the friendly owners, stay for the generous portions and slow-smoked flavor people spend all weekend chasing.

Puzzle Merchant turns a simple shopping trip into a full-on browsing adventure, with floor-to-ceiling puzzles covering every theme, style, and difficulty level imaginable. Visitors often mention how organized the shop is despite the massive selection, making it easy to discover new brands and unexpected finds.

The owner’s enthusiasm adds to the experience, offering recommendations and chatting through favorite puzzle styles. It’s the sort of specialty store where collectors happily lose track of time exploring every shelf.
