| | | 💔 Vegas Golden Knights Break Up with Coach | After turning a losing season around and taking the Vegas Golden Knights to the Stanley Cup finals, the team said “thanks, but no thanks” and parted ways with coach John Tortorella. [Associated Press] | | 🏟️ More Sports … | - The A’s construction site on the Strip is actually starting to look like a real baseball stadium with the first of five roof truss arches now in place. [KKLZ]
- Major league sluggers should have a field day (so to speak) with the new stadium’s relatively small dimensions, which like Denver’s Coors Field, are ripe for home runs. [Sports Illustrated]
- The World Cup continues and the Fremont Street Experience is hosting a “pep rally” for Team USA at the Main Street Stage at 9 a.m. on Saturday, just hours ahead of a noon Stadium Swim viewing party to see the Americans face Australia. [VegasExperience.com]
- Las Vegas missed out on hosting World Cup games at Allegiant Stadium, but as the latest episode of City Cast Las Vegas explains, that might not be a bad thing 🤷 [City Cast Las Vegas 🎧]

| What Las Vegas's Talking About |
| 🫴 This is a Holdup … Hand Over Pikachu | In an act caught on video, a man armed with a Taser demanded the staff at the Crossing Las Vegas collectible shop hand over valuable Pokemon trading cards from behind a display case. Similar stores have reported break-ins in recent months, but this is a rare case of a holdup during daylight hours. [KSNV] | | 🔌 Switch Plans Data Center Expansion | As anyone who lives in the Southwest Valley can tell you, Switch has grown dramatically off the 215 with little fuss. But the digital storage company’s plans to expand by nine acres are drawing greater scrutiny now that Americans are becoming more skeptical of data centers. Today, Clark County commissioners are weighing several waivers for the project, which are mostly cosmetic in nature. [Las Vegas Review-Journal] | | | 📡 Nevada Gets Super Space Telescopes | Caltech plans to build a “Deep Synoptic Array” of 1,650 small radio dishes in a remote stretch of the Nevada desert near Ely. When complete in 2029, the system will survey the far reaches of the galaxy a hundred times faster than current radio observatories — and hopefully draw more U.F.O. activity to our state 👽 [Gizmodo] | | 🔮 More Magic for the MGM Grand | The David Copperfield Theater has a new name — the so simple it hurts, MGM Grand Theater — but is sticking with the same old tricks. A few months after Copperfield bid adieu, the theater will welcome a quartet of magicians in a show based on the “Now You See Me” film series. [KSNV] | |
