It was the great poet Beyoncé that once told us "to the left, to the left". Turns out she was wise beyond her years. Drivers will be faced with a confusing ramp closure, causing confusion on US 95 Northbound and Summerlin Parkway.
From Friday, April 28th at 8pm until 5am on Sunday, April 30th, the off-ramp from US 95 Northbound to Summerlin Parkway will be closed. The Nevada Department of Transportation is underway on a project that will modernize Summerlin Parkway with signals, LED lights, new signs and pavement among other things. That's expected to last throughout the summer. Thankfully, the closure is just for the weekend.
How am I supposed to get to get from US 95 Northbound to Summerlin Parkway this weekend?
It won't be impossible to get from US 95 Northbound to Summerlin Parkway, thanks to our friend the "HOV lane flyover". The HOV lane has benefitted from their own way onto Summerlin Parkway for a while. Thanks to the latest changes to the HOV lane policy in Nevada, you'll be free and clear to drive on the left and take that lane to get where you're going. Remembering to stay to the left and catch the exit - and not cross six lanes of traffic - will be the toughest part.
While NDOT is stating the closure won't affect accessibility to the parkway, confusion will likely reign supreme this weekend. So pack a little extra patience around the curve and remember what Beyoncé taught us all those years ago. Or, you know, pass the flyover entirely and catch the next exit. Whatever suits you! Just don't say we didn't warn you because we most certainly did!

8 Best Summerlin Restaurants You Should Eat At
Here are the best Summerlin restaurants for your entire family to enjoy.
The restaurant scene in Vegas is very big with a wide variety of eateries to choose from. One area of town that has been renovating to become a Las Vegans paradise is Summerlin.
According to Summerlin.com, Summerlin was named after Howard Hughes paternal grandmother, Amelia Jean Summerlin. The development started in 1988 with the first family moving into the first community called "The Hills" in 1991. Since the launch the area of Summerlin has grown into a staple place many folks want to raise a family in.
The west side of town is booming with new infrastructures going up yearly. Downtown Summerlin, which is an upscale out-door shopping center sits across from The Las Vegas Ballpark and the City National Arena. With the fairly new ballpark and arena, more and more residents are looking to this side of town for things to do. Downtown Summerlin hosts over 125 stores with newly opened restaurants, in-style fashion stores and unique custom shops. Some may say that it's heart of Summerlin where community comes together. They feature some classic dining hotspots including Jing, Public School 702 and Maggiano's Little Italy.
Outside of the mall are neighborhoods with pockets of businesses that are creating a buzz. From fresh sushi, to chewy boba, NY style pizza, Summerlin has a little something for everyone. The west side neighborhood houses many cultures making it a diverse place to live.

What You Missed On Aimee+Shawn The Last Couple Weeks
It has been a constant merry-go-round of illness on Aimee+Shawn lately! Shawn had strep throat. Then he had brutal food poisoning. Aimee hasn't been fairing better and she's starting to feel sick too! What is going on? Regardless, there were some good shows in betwixt the illness, and we've created a compilation of the best bits right here!
Aimee was out the day after Easter, and Sammi stepped up to the plate, fresh off the Frontier Airlines flight from hell! Why she promises to never fly them again... except she did the next weekend. So much for that boycott.
Shawn's wife got bit by the neighbor's dog, which gave Sammi PTSD from her past dog biting incident, and it turns out several of our listeners have been on the wrong end of a dog's teeth.
When Aimee did get back from her Cali road trip, she had plenty to report on. Including the road trip itself. Turns out she has "rules of the road trip" with her husband. Essentially, he does the driving, she doesn't get to stop to pee, and everyone is happy.
Before Shawn got strep, his son got it. But if it wasn't for his mother's intuition, they may have never checked for strep at all. Why Shawn turned his car around and went back for the test.
Someone hit Aimee's car in the parking lot, and the conversation that followed was some of the most awe-inspiring stupidity she's ever heard. Why is the talk after a fender bender always so awkward?
