AutoNation USA Henderson To Host Free Teen Driver Safety Clinic
I’m a little embarrassed to say it… but there’s still several things I don’t know how to do when it comes to the basics of maintaining and operating a vehicle. I hardly know how to change a tire, and I’m not the most confident when it comes to checking my fluids. Fortunately, AutoNation USA Henderson wants to set Las Vegas teens up for on-the-go success and ensure that they are as safe and knowledgeable as they can be as they take on the open road.
On Saturday, September 10th at 10:00 AM, AutoNation USA Henderson will be hosting a free, hour-long Teen Driver Safety Clinic. According to News 3, “The driving safety curriculum touches on impaired driving and proper driving positions, as well as action plans when pulled over or faced with a sobriety test. Car care tips such as jumpstarting a battery, changing a tire, and checking vehicle liquids will be shared.”
Those that are interested in enrolling can register through Eventbrite. The Teen Driver Safety Clinic will be held at the AutoNation USA Henderson store on 380 N. Gibson Road. Even better yet, parents and guardians are encouraged to participate with their teens. Let’s all brush up on the need-to-knows of the road!
I wish this would have been offered when I was a teen. With all of the car problems I’ve faced and the avoidable, silly mistakes I’ve made in the past, this would have been so beneficial. And honestly, my parents could have used the refresher too. I’m so glad our Clark County teens are being presented with this free opportunity.

A Trip To Space Is A Short Drive Away At Illuminarium (PICTURES)
It is a never-ending quest to find new and exciting things to do to entertain the kiddos. You can only go to the park so many times. But sometimes, if you pay close attention to what your kids are entranced by on YouTube, you’ll get a clue.
In our house, our sons Colin and Mario are absolutely obsessed with space lately. They know the order of the planets, they know a ton of dwarf planets (including Pluto, which to me will always be a real planet), they know the largest known star in the Universe (UY Scuti, whatever the hell that is)… if it has to do with the cosmos, they are all about it.
On the search for something fun to do space-wise, we came across Illuminarium Las Vegas at Area 15. The projection-mapping destination has an attraction named Space: A Journey To The Moon And Beyond that was thankfully just extended through the end of the year. I say thankfully because, if you haven’t been, I am demanding you do.
You walk into the a large room, adorned with seats and couches and every piece of the floor and walls around you showing that you’re smack dab in the middle of a launch site, getting ready to blast off into space. A tour guide welcomes you and prepares you for your journey through space.
In no time – BLAST OFF. The ground rumbles, the rocket blasts off, and you are headed off Earth. The visuals, the sound system, it is all incredibly awe-inspiring. This alone would be enough to impress, until they open the doors.
What awaits on the other side is the real show. From floating through outer space to landing on the moon. Watching astronauts bounce around the dusty rock, drive their buggy around to collect samples and more. Then, it’s off to another adventure. This time to the planets beyond, reaching to the deepest parts of space.
Asteroids appear on the floor and you can stomp on them to break them up. A half scale model of a lunar lander smack dab in the middle of the experience. It is something that, especially if you haven’t experienced “projection mapping technology” before, will make your jaw drop.
We got the kids dressed up as astronauts for the occasion and they had an absolute blast. Yours will too. Even the kid inside you will love it.
Locals can get in for as little as $20 a ticket, with $35 getting you flexible entry into the exhibit (no set time), a souvenir poster, and a $10 credit in the gift shop. See this before it is gone because, trust me, you’ll be glad you had the experience. It’s cheaper than a SpaceX ticket.
