| First Up: It’s Election Day! |
| | If you’re sick of the junk mail, texts, TV ads, and everything else that comes with election season, just know it’s almost over. Kinda. At least until the recounts end and the lawsuits begin. | | 🗳️ Last Call: Time To Vote | Between mail ballots and early voting, Nevada makes the election process incredibly easy. But today is officially Election Day. Your last chance. No excuses. | | Not registered? Nevada offers same-day registration. Just bring your Nevada ID or driver's license to a polling station. If you need further assistance to register, the DMV will be open late until 6 p.m today. You’ll leave with an interim document to bring to a polling location. | | You can vote from anywhere. The days of having one specific polling place for your address are gone. Throughout early voting (which saw more than 220,000 ballots cast in Clark County alone), the Galleria at Sunset was the busiest local polling location, followed by the Las Vegas Athletic Club in North Las Vegas. Allegiant Stadium gets in on the act today. Voting hours run 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. | | Did you know that you can vote from a hospital bed? The county clerk will send over a ballot via a bipartisan delivery team. | | And if you have a long shift at work, Nevada law requires employers to give employees sufficient time off to vote if it’s impractical to do so before or after work. Paid. | | Mail ballots will be counted if postmarked by Election Day and received up to four days after voting ends, but at this stage, it’s recommended to drop the ballot off at a polling station to avoid potential delays. | | Need a ride? Lyft is giving 50% discounts (up to $10 off) to help voters reach their polling locations with the code VOTE26. | | 🤑 Free Stuff on Election Day | - Henderson City Hall is hosting Kids Vote 2026. Anyone under 18 accompanied by a registered voter receives a free scoop of ice cream when voting for their favorite ice cream flavor.
- Those who show an “I Voted” sticker can purchase any entrée and receive a second entrée of equal or lesser value for free at NORMS. Just sign up for the rewards club at no cost.
- It doesn’t get any more “Vegas” than this: Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club has an "Undress for the U.S.” promotion, offering one free lap dance to visitors on Election Day.
- Krispy Kreme is giving out a free original glazed doughnut to those who voted.
- Election Day also happens to be National Sandwich Day. Jimmy John’s is giving reward members an online BOGO deal on eligible eight-inch sandwiches with the code “SANDWICH.”
| | 🤑 Election Day Parties | - City Hall is hosting a Vote Party (11 a.m. to 2 p.m.) with food trucks, free ice cream, a drive-thru ballot drop box, and showgirl-themed “I Voted” stickers.
- Prediction, a new lounge that follows prediction markets, will have an Election Night Party (3-11 p.m.) with results and election “odds” playing out on dozens of screens.
- The Ahern Hotel is throwing a West Coast Watch Party (5-9 p.m.) with food specials. According to the advertising, all political affiliations are welcome, although Ahern is known to host GOP campaign events.
| | 🇺🇲 Know Your Rights | A judge issued a restraining order requested by the ACLU against a woman accused of harassing and intimidating voters with a bullhorn during early voting at Desert Breeze Park. [KTNV] | - City Cast Las Vegas looks at the case of “Bullhorn Becky” and discusses the legalities and limits of political activity near polling places in our Election Day news roundup.

| WHAT LAS VEGAS IS TALKING ABOUT |
| 💰 MAGA Strings Attached To Nye County Grant | A million-dollar grant to cover cameras in parks and other security measures in Nye County comes with conditions tied to Trump administration policies: No DEI programs or restricted communications with federal agencies regarding a person’s immigration status. [Nevada Independent] | | 🍹 Days Numbered for Strip Nightclub | In this economy, even bottle service prices aren’t enough to keep a nightclub going. Jewel, which opened back in 2016 (taking over the space once known as Haze) will close its doors for good at the end of business on Nov. 21. That happens to fall on F1 weekend. [KLAS] | | 🥊 Las Vegas Gets Outboxed | Vegas’ reputation as the boxing capital of the world is taking a hit. A greater number of high-profile bouts are taking place in Saudi Arabia and the dominance of European heavyweights has led to more fights in other international markets. It doesn’t help that HBO and Showtime no longer have deals to show live boxing, leaving the sport with less visibility in the United States. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em — or at least take their money. TKO (which owns Vegas-based UFC) is now partnering with Saudi Arabia to promote boxing. [New York Times] |
