| What Las Vegas's Talking About |
| 🚧 Can Dina Titus Stop Trump’s Arch? | While a legal battle plays out over President Trump’s 250-foot-tall arch near Arlington National Cemetery, a bill co-sponsored by Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV) to halt the project remains stalled in committee. The legislation could be re-introduced in next year’s Democrat-controlled Congress with a more favorable chance of moving forward. [Nevada Current] | | 🏡 Luxury Home Project Defeated | Blue Heron has dropped plans to build a new luxury home community on a 13-acre lot owned by Steve Wynn near Alta and Campbell. The project faced opposition by neighbors in an area near the Springs Preserve and historic neighborhoods like Rancho Circle. [Las Vegas Review-Journal] | - Blue Heron is known for ultra-modern custom homes — but is a backlash brewing against them? City Cast Las Vegas discusses how that style works in some neighborhoods better than others in today’s news roundup. The episode also looks at the idea of metal detectors at First Friday, how the city can help the Arts District, and the loss of a Hawaiian restaurant that’s been a Fremont Street staple for more than 40 years.

| | | 🚘 Watch Out, Stadium Ahead ‼️ | A driver escaped serious injury after crashing into a construction gate for the A’s baseball stadium on the Strip — with running commentary from a YouTuber who happened to be around at the time. [KSNV/Joshua Tree Comedy] | | 🩷 The Sphere Goes Pink | Pink is promising stuff that’s “never been done before” when she performs at least nine dates at the Sphere next year, becoming the first woman to headline the Sphere as a solo artist. (Oprah doesn’t count? 🤷) The singer’s most recent Vegas gigs were at Allegiant Stadium — twice within one year — so she definitely knows how to pack in a crowd. Side note: Slotzilla will be rebranded “Pinkzilla” during the residency. [Variety] |

| Free Food and Fun on Veterans Day for Those Who Served |

I want to send a digital salute to all who have represented our county in uniform, including my father Wayne, who served with the U.S. Marines in Vietnam 🙏 | | 🇺🇲 Why We Celebrate Veterans Day | While Memorial Day honors those who died in service to their county, Veterans Day is a celebratory day of recognition for all who served in the military. It was first recognized by President Woodrow Wilson as Armistice Day in 1919, marking one year since the treaty that ended World War I. It was declared an official federal holiday in 1938.
