One of the best badges of being a local is knowing your way around town — like really, really knowing your way around those stupid-crowded intersections (we’re looking at you, Trop & LV Boulevard), crazy parking lots (thanks, Chinatown), and I-15 insanity when the SoCal tourists head home. So today on City Cast Las Vegas, lead producer Sonja Cho Swanson, producer Layla Muhammad, and co-host Dayvid Figler are sharing some of our very best insider knowledge: The best shortcuts to get you around town like a real local.
