Is Vegas Still a 24-Hour Town? Plus, Community Garden Vandalized, and Where to Get Outside in November
Las Vegas just topped a study of 51 cities for night owls, but is it still a 24-hour town once you take the Strip out of the equation? Nevada Current reporter Michael “MJ” Lyle and artist Justin Favela join Jesse Merrick to debate it. Then we explain how you can help Obodo Collective, a community garden in the historic Westside, recover after a break-in. We close out the week with Good News Friday, including a viral local bakery’s expansion and our favorite spots to get outdoors now that hiking season is in full swing. And in our members-only bonus segment, we look at what the closure of Jewel Nightclub at Aria says about the future of the Vegas club scene as more people cut back on booze and the party scene.
