🎯 New paintball arena just dropped in Summerlin

Although I’ve been working since I was 14, the first job I ever had, that I LOVED, was when I was 17. For a summer I worked as a gunsmith and a referee at a paintball range next to Magic Mountain in southern California. It was an amazing experience of working 6am - 10pm on Saturday and Sunday, spending my lunchbreak playing paintball, and eating late night pizzas with the guys as we prepped the guns for the next day. 

So I was stoked to see that Summerlin is getting a new paintball Arena. Check them out HERE for a day of fun.

Seating is limited indoors, but picnic tables with umbrellas make it easy to settle in outside. Worth the wait, worth the drive, and definitely worth the hype.

The Gist: Summerlin residents are seeing a sharp rise in mosquito activity, with experts warning that the community’s ponds and golf course water features are fueling the problem. Health officials confirmed mosquitoes carrying West Nile virus were found this summer, though no human cases have been reported.

Why It Matters: Without a coordinated abatement district, experts say the pests will continue to thrive, raising health risks and neighborhood frustrations across the Las Vegas Valley.
