Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the test cost?

The test for the Food Handler Safety Training Card is included in the $20 card fee. A late fee of $15 will be added for the renewal of a card that expired in the last two years. If you do not pass the test, you will need to come back no earlier than the next business day to re-take the test after paying a $5 retest fee. A score of 70 percent or better is considered passing.

What if I do not pass the test?

You must pass the test with a score of 70 percent or better. If you do not pass the test, you will need to come back no earlier than the next business day to re-take the test after paying a $5 retest fee.

Why do I have to take a test at the Southern Nevada Health District if I’ve completed a course or have a training certificate?

To ensure each applicant has knowledge in safe food handling techniques, you will need to pass the Southern Nevada Health District’s food safety test to demonstrate your knowledge. Prior to taking the test, applicants will be required to present a valid photo ID as they’ve always done when applying for their Food Handler Safety Training Card. The test will be overseen to ensure testing standards are maintained during the process.

Can I bring notes or use my phone while taking the test?

All applicants will be asked to put their phones away and place them in “silent” mode or simply shut them off. No notes, books, or reference material will be allowed in the testing area. Any phone use or looking at notes, books, or reference material during the test will result in an automatic failure. You will be asked to return no earlier than the next business day and pay the $5.00 retest fee before being allowed to test again.

Why is the first-time test more comprehensive than the renewal test?

First-time applicants must demonstrate knowledge of safe food handling techniques to obtain their Food Handler Safety Training Card. Once employed, Food Handler Safety Training Card holders will be under the supervision and guidance of their establishment’s “Person in Charge” who is responsible for continued training and ensuring safe food handling techniques are being used. Renewal applicants will be tested on several “critical items” that all Food Handlers should know to be safe and effective while working in a permitted establishment.

Is there a time limit for the test?

The 20-question, multiple-choice test should be completed within 30 minutes.

If I do not pass the test before my expiration date, will there still be a late fee if I return after the expiration date?

The late fee is assessed based on the date that you apply and pay for your Food Handler Safety Training Card. Taking the test and not passing does not extend your expiration date and there is no grace period.

Can I also get an alcohol card at the Health District?

The Southern Nevada Health District does not issue alcohol awareness cards. Below are just a few of the companies authorized by the State of Nevada to issue alcohol awareness cards:

Cheap internet options in Henderson

While Rise Broadband has a plan for a mere $30, speeds of up to 25 Mbps and a $12 monthly equipment rental fee don’t provide value. T-Mobile Home Internet is the cheapest plan if you’re an existing mobile customer with eligible phone plans. You can add home internet for just $30 per month for up to 245Mbps download speeds. If you don’t have one of those plans, the monthly rate is $50.

Cox is the next cheapest option at $70 for download speeds of 250Mbps. Data is capped at 1.25TB (which is a healthy amount unless you have multiple gamers at home). Data overages will cost you $10 for each 50GB amount you exceed your cap.

How to find internet deals and promotions in Henderson

The best internet deals and the top promotions in Henderson depend on what discounts are available during that period. Most deals are short-lived, but we look frequently for the latest offers.

Henderson internet providers, such as Cox, may offer lower introductory pricing or streaming add-ons for a limited time. Others, including CenturyLink, T-Mobile and Verizon, run the same standard pricing year-round.

For a more extensive list of promotions, check out our guide on the best internet deals.

How fast is Henderson broadband?

Henderson neighbors the city of Las Vegas, and residents have a variety of internet packages to choose from that cover 100% of households with a minimum of 100Mbps download speeds. The additional good news for anyone moving to town is that 80% of residents can access 1,000Mbps download speeds (and growing). The latest Ookla speed test data shows Henderson is among the top five fastest cities in the US for median download speeds. It registers at just over 269Mbps. By comparison, Las Vegas wasn’t even in the top 50, with a median speed of 229Mbps. (Ookla is owned by the same parent company as CNET, Ziff Davis.)

What’s a good internet speed?

Most internet connection plans can now handle basic productivity and communication tasks. If you're looking for an internet plan that can accommodate videoconferencing, streaming video or gaming, you'll have a better experience with a more robust connection. Here's an overview of the recommended minimum download speeds for various applications, according to the FCC. Note that these are only guidelines and that internet speed, service and performance vary by connection type, provider and address.

For more information, refer to our guide on how much internet speed you really need.

How CNET chose the best internet providers in Henderson

Internet service providers are numerous and regional. Unlike the latest smartphone, laptop, router or kitchen tool, it's impractical to personally test every internet service provider in a given city. What's our approach? For starters, we tap into a proprietary pricing, availability and speed database that draws from our own historical ISP data, partner data and mapping information from the Federal Communications Commission at FCC.gov.

It doesn't end there: We go to the FCC's website to check our data and ensure we consider every ISP that provides service in an area. We also input local addresses on provider websites to find specific options for residents. We look at sources, including the American Customer Satisfaction Index and J.D. Power, to evaluate how happy customers are with an ISP's service. ISP plans and prices are subject to frequent changes; all information provided is accurate as of publication.

Once we have this localized information, we ask three main questions:

While the answer to those questions is often layered and complex, the providers who come closest to “yes” on all three are the ones we recommend. When selecting the cheapest internet service, we look for the plans with the lowest monthly fee, although we also factor in things like price increases, equipment fees and contracts. Choosing the fastest internet service is relatively straightforward. We look at advertised upload and download speeds and consider real-world speed data from sources like Ookla and FCC reports.

To explore our process in more depth, visit our how we test ISPs page.

What’s the final word on internet providers in Henderson?

Henderson offers a variety of ISPs and broadband types to choose from, ranging from satellite to cable to fiber to fixed wireless. Cox has the broadest coverage in the city and will probably be your best option, but if you’re serviceable for Quantum Fiber, don’t be afraid to go that direction instead.

Internet providers in Henderson FAQs

(The Center Square) - Redevelopment of the old Fiesta Henderson Casino site in Henderson, Nevada has been further delayed after the city's exclusive negotiations with the Woodbury Corp. fell through.

Henderson is about 15 miles from Las Vegas.

The Fiesta Henderson Casino closed shortly at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and was never able to reopen. The castle-styled building was later demolished, and the site was purchased by the city for $32 million in December 2022.

The site remains vacant.

“Despite best efforts and good-faith discussions over the past several months, the two parties have been unable to come to a definitive agreement regarding the future development, purchase and use of the property,” wrote the city of Henderson on its partnership with the Woodbury Corp. in a project review. “Both parties are now fully released from any further obligations under its [ENA] terms. The City and RDA [Redevelopment Agency] appreciate the collaborative efforts with Woodbury Corporation throughout this process.”

The city of Henderson surveyed over 5,600 of its residents to find out what they wanted the space to become. The top two answers were a tournament sports facility and hospitality or some form of family-oriented entertainment.

The city reported respondents from the month-long survey in September 2023 wanted the project to incorporate the natural environment in its design. Given the upfront $32 million investment, residents also expressed a strong desire for a return on investment from the resulting project.

“While the RDA is not moving forward with the Woodbury Corporation at this time, the agency remains focused on advancing the next phase of development,” wrote the city of Henderson in the project review.

The city of Henderson announced the next phase of planning and finding new partners, but has still not begun any project on the site.

For the full survey results, a complete explanation of the project and further updates of the Fiesta Henderson site, check the dedicated Henderson website page.

Joanna Bennett’s son Tyler, fascinated by construction, had his eyes glued to the workers at Mission Hills Park in Henderson. While they wet bare brown dirt to later install new grass, the duo was getting a first glance at the new look for parks throughout the city.

Bennett, a French Elementary School fourth grade teacher, is familiar with water as a limiting factor in the Las Vegas Valley but knows the lifesaving cooling effects grass can provide in the desert Southwest.

“If you’re going to keep building these houses and blowing up the mountainside, there’s got to be a limit,” Bennett said during an interview at the park Wednesday. “They’re not willing to cut back on building because they want the growth. But growth means more water. Taking away parks is not the answer.”

Since Bennett became a resident 22 years ago, population has boomed in Henderson, the second-most populous city in Nevada. Between the 2010 and 2020 U.S. Census, the city grew by more than 23 percent, adding nearly 60,000 residents.

To comply with a state law making it illegal to water so-called “nonfunctional turf” after 2026, Henderson and other cities are giving their parks a makeover. From Mission Hills, Henderson will rip out almost 144,000 square feet of grass and convert roughly 222,000 square feet of grass to a more drought-tolerant variety.

Watch 7@7 — now streaming

Mission Hills was one of the parks subject to a new Desert Research Institute study requested by the city that aimed to find out the extent to which grass removal would lead to elevated temperatures. The short answer: Temperatures could rise, but Henderson officials are doing what they can to mitigate that effect.

In total, Henderson plans to rip out more than 2 million square feet of grass from parks.

“We’re following the mandate,” said Amie Wojtech, Henderson’s park planner. “These are recommendations that we’ve gotten from DRI to make sure that we’re doing the best we can to have it as cool as it can be.”

What is non-functional turf?

When Assembly Bill 356 became law, it created a Nonfunctional Turf Removal Advisory Committee, or NTRAC, that would help guide the definition-making process.

The law provided that the committee would include representatives from local businesses, the owner of an office park, multifamily housing, HOAs and the environmental community.

For grass to be considered functional, the group decided it must be located at least 10 feet from a street. Driving past Mission Hills and other Henderson parks, that rule is easily observable as previously lush areas close to the road are now brown and awaiting desert landscaping.

“It’s grass you wouldn’t put a swing set on,” said Bronson Mack, a Southern Nevada Water Authority spokesman.

It cannot reside on a slope greater than 25 percent, on street medians, along streets or at the front of entryways to parks, commercial buildings, neighborhoods or subdivisions. Other functional turf categories included turf on golf courses, athletic fields and playgrounds.

Parks aren’t immune to the mandate, Mack said. The city of Las Vegas is undergoing a similar effort, with 140,000 square feet of grass removal, and a spokesperson for Clark County said staff members are currently identifying which parks will lose grass, as well. North Las Vegas didn’t respond to requests for data about its grass reductions at city parks.

Henderson estimates that from its parks alone, it will save almost 150 million gallons on a yearly basis.

“That’s water that we get to conserve and store for the community’s future use,” Mack said.

Keeping Henderson cool with less greenery

The Desert Research Institute study used infrared drones to map out temperatures before and after grass was taken out at different Henderson parks.

Tree canopy continues to be a powerful tool to create shade that can lower temperatures in the immediate surroundings by 30 degrees or more, in some cases. Similar to how human sweat evaporates, irrigation is a reason grass can cool the air around it, said Eric Wilcox, the study’s lead author and an atmospheric science professor at the University of Nevada, Reno.

The city’s use of tan gravel, as the study calls it, will retain much less heat than pavement does in hot summers, Wilcox said.

While the study was limited in scope to Henderson parks and cannot be extrapolated to any other areas, he said it’s encouraging that the city was interested in learning more about heat mitigation. Wilcox’s team is ready and willing to conduct similar studies in other cities across the valley, if funding allows, he said.

“I think it’s positive that municipalities are thinking about understanding the effects of this,” Wilcox said. “They’re complying with a mandate, but they’re not interested in seeing heat exacerbated in their community.”

Innovative solutions

The study was helpful for Wojtech, the city park planner, to reaffirm what must be done to help cool the city long term.

Now with more data showing the power of trees, Wojtech said the city is leaning into diversifying the types of trees that exist in parks throughout Henderson. That way, if harmful insects or a species-specific disease migrates to Las Vegas, more trees have a chance of surviving.

“Knowing that we did this study, it just promotes that we need to have that diversification,” Wojtech said. “That was something that was re-confirmed.”

The city is committed to preserving as many mature trees as possible, she said. In some parks, three times the amount of trees are going in than were previously there.

On one of her afternoon walks with her dog, Mojo, at Mission Hills, Janet Miller spoke of her dismay at dwindling Lake Mead levels.

The 74-year-old Henderson resident has lived there off and on since 1980, and the rapid development of the city has been shocking to see. Getting rid of grass in many cases makes sense, Miller said.

“I understand that water is scarce,” Miller said. “They’re even paying homeowners to have grass taken out. And you can’t recycle this water — the minute it goes on grass, it’s gone. But you’ve got to have trees.”
