View all City Cast Las Vegas episodes

Las Vegas restaurants can now apply to sell alcohol to-go after the city council approved a new ordinance this week, and criminal defense attorney Dayvid Figler joins us to break down what the new rules actually mean, why this feels like a very Vegas move and what the potential ramifications could be. Then Nevada Current deputy editor April Corbin Girnus explains why property tax reform in Nevada is one of those things everyone agrees needs to happen but nobody seems to have the stomach to actually do it. We also close out another week with another installment of Good News Friday. And in our members-only bonus segment, we dig into a Strip real estate move that flew under the radar and what it signals for a very valuable corner of the Las Vegas Strip.
