Las Vegas Has a Road Rage Problem, a City v. County Fire Dispute, and a Twerkout Workout?
Is road rage on the rise in Las Vegas? It’s hard to quantify, but the data from the last five years suggests it could be — so what’s to blame? Then we get into the dispute between the Clark County and City of Las Vegas fire departments over a mutual aid agreement that’s about to expire, why the city says it’s been shouldering more than its fair share of calls in the growing northwest valley and whether the county lines that cut through Las Vegas are part of the problem. Plus, in our weekly Vegas Obsessions, we dive into a new spot to twerk out while you work out, why the new Arts District parking garage is already off to a bad start and the overreaction to Las Vegas’ weather over the weekend. Nevada Current deputy editor April Corbin Girnus and criminal defense attorney and writer Dayvid Figler join Jesse Merrick to break it all down.
