Mayor Shelley Berkeley: From Goodman to Good Woman

In this special episode of "On the Corner of Main Street," recorded right in the heart of Oscar's Steakhouse, we're honored to welcome the newly sworn-in 24th Mayor of Las Vegas, Shelley Berkley. After nearly 25 years under the Goodmans, the city is entering an exciting new chapter—and Mayor Berkley's first week on the job has already given her plenty to dig into. Join hosts Jonathan and Gary as they sit down with Mayor Berkley to explore her extraordinary personal journey—coming to Las Vegas as a teenager in the '60s, witnessing the heyday of the Sands and the Rat Pack through her father's job as a maître d', serving seven terms in Congress, and now stepping into one of the city's top leadership roles. In this candid conversation, Mayor Berkley offers a glimpse of her vision for Las Vegas: improving economic growth, expanding affordable housing, and tackling homelessness with fresh, community-minded approaches. You'll hear her reflect on the legacy of the Goodman family, the pioneering role of women in city leadership, and the city's ever-evolving culture—from the days of dress codes and dinner jackets to the modern pulse of the Arts District and flourishing tech scene. Whether you're a Vegas local or just love the lure of the city's neon lights, this episode gives you an inside look at where Las Vegas stands today and where it's headed tomorrow under Mayor Shelley Berkley's steady, experienced hand.
