🍺 Hey all,

I was bummed to hear Bad Beat Brewing is closing down — or is it? 🤔

The online post announcing the decision has disappeared and the team seems to be having fun with new specialty cocktails, an Old Fashioned Night tomorrow, and espresso martini specials on Sunday, which was believed to be the final night of operation.

Bad Beat says, “We are throwing events until we do (close). Trying to figure things out in the meantime but no reason not to have a great time while we can.”

Cheers 🍻

An extreme heat warning for Southern Nevada goes into effect at 10 a.m. today and continues through until 8 p.m. Sunday. [Las Vegas Review-Journal]

Check your inbox later this afternoon for the latest edition of Keep It Local, which looks at ways to beat the heat while supporting independent Las Vegas businesses.

City Cast Las Vegas has a few more ideas for staying cool and having fun in August. Listen to our latest monthly guide for top picks on events and activities throughout the valley. [City Cast Las Vegas 🎧]

Your Guide to August 2026 in Las Vegas

What Las Vegas's Talking About

🗳️ Proof Please, Mr. President

Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar is formally asking the Trump administration for evidence that nearly 16,000 noncitizens could be registered to vote in the Silver State. Aguilar disputed the allegation last week on City Cast Las Vegas — and is concerned that some lawful voters could be misclassified by the federal government due to the naturalization process or “imperfect” records. [Nevada Independent]

💰 Kalshi Under Pressure to Enforce Ban

Despite a Nevada ban, customers in the state are still finding a way to place transactions on Kalshi, a prediction market platform that accepts wagers on everything from sports to political events. The company has now agreed to install geo-fencing technology by Aug. 12 to block Nevada users. If not, Kalshi faces fines of $120,000 a day. [KVVU]

🥍 Lacrosse Movement Misses Goal

The protracted campaign to get lacrosse into local high schools will have to wait a little longer. A Nevada bill sanctioning the sport went into effect this year, but the Clark County School District is pausing the rollout until 2027. [KLAS]

💍 Marjorie Taylor … Glenn?

Marjorie Taylor Greene left Congress, the Republican Party, and the single life all within the same year. The former congresswoman — and fanatical supporter of President Trump before the two had a falling out — married conservative journalist Brian Glenn at the Bellagio. The couple did it right, getting hitched on the lakeside terrace and playing a round of craps afterwards. [TMZ]

More Las Vegas Events

🤔 To give you an idea of how much F1 “supports” the Vegas economy, one of the most successful shows on the Strip thought the upcoming Grand Prix would be a perfect time to take a brief hiatus and get a few upgrades done.

“Absinthe” goes dark Nov. 16-29. Enjoy the race 🏁
