| ⛏️ Preserving Nevada’s History | History junkies, gather ‘round. UNLV-based Preserve Nevada released its annual list of the state’s most endangered historic places, making a point to include the Old Mormon Fort. While protected as a state park, the pace of surrounding development is prompting concern. The list also mentions frontier cemeteries, neglected historical markers, and vintage theaters (referencing the Huntridge) in broad terms, while singling out specific structures in various corners of the Silver State. [Preserve Nevada] | | 🧳 Little Marco Goes to Washington | It looks like Marco Rubio will be the next Secretary of State. The senator represents Florida, but spent part of his childhood in Las Vegas. So until Dana White is named Secretary of Blackjack, that’s the closest we’ll get to some Nevada representation in the new Trump administration. [Reuters] | | 🔥 Did a Dog Survive an Interstate Inferno? | In something of a mystery waiting to be solved, a dog was found injured and burned after a fiery crash between a semitruck and motorhome on the I-15. Volunteers are nursing the dog back to health while trying to track down her owner. [KSNV] | | 🏁 Move Along, Nothing to See Here | Formula One is getting more aggressive in blocking ticket-less pedestrians from viewing the Las Vegas Grand Prix. Beefed-up security barriers and wraparound aluminum panels on pedestrian bridges are already annoying tourists less than two weeks before the race. [Las Vegas Review-Journal] | - Sports tourism is touted as an economic driver for Las Vegas, but how are the dollars adding up? City Cast Las Vegas co-host Sarah Lohman spoke to Bailey Schulz of USA Today about the intersection of sports and business in the local economy. [City Cast Las Vegas 🎧]

| | Ballot curing finally ended yesterday as Nevada’s election season crawled to a firm and final halt ✋ | | | 🔊 Election chatter dominated our feedback this week | | It took about three days to go from stunned disbelief to depression. I was active in the Harris/Walz campaign, participating in many Zoom calls with thousands of other excited supporters. I honestly believed that she had a chance to win. I'm 80 years old and I feel very sad that this may be the way the country is for the rest of my life. | — Carolyn S. | | Just waiting for the day those who voted for Trump realize what his so-called policies are going to actually cost them. | — Barbara M. | | I am the happiest I’ve been since 2020. Finally glad I’m living in a state that’s red, but unhappy that Las Vegas voted blue! Don’t understand how a state can vote red for a president, but blue for senators. Kinda fishy. | — Lori E. | | The anti-Trump rhetoric is tired, as are media outlets that choose to continue with their left-wing bias. This was a landslide decision. Cope harder. | — Joseph M. | | I have a genuine fear about where this country is heading. I was out and about this weekend and as a Black woman, I felt a little uncomfortable. I feel like Trump has emboldened people to show their racist side. I know that not all people who voted for him are racist but there are definitely some out there. | — Dorcus E. | | It's about time we have someone in office who actually cares about the American people and our country. If people are here illegally, they should be deported. Come in the right way. | — Patti L. | | It used to be illegal to give away incentives to get people to vote. Free food and drinks for registered voters or people wearing "I Voted" stickers is coercion even if you're not telling them how they should vote. | — Ken H. | | My ballot was also rejected. There was nothing wrong with it. I have been signing the same all my life. I think it is the way Republicans are trying to steal the election. | — Beverly G. | | I'm happy to be in a country where no matter what one thinks of the government, they have the power to change it every 2-4 years. I vote, I trust the system, and I don't hate my neighbors, no matter where they are from or who they voted for. That is the essence of America. | — James R. | | 🤔 Still a purple state? | | 🇺🇲 Sticker shock | We want to give a shoutout to one of our sponsors, Global Product Sourcing, for producing more than 2 million “I Voted” stickers for Clark County, as well as t-shirts and lanyards for election volunteers. Congrats! 🥳 |
