A local steakhouse is at the center of a wild saga that includes unexpected closures, changes in operating hours, and payroll checks bouncing. Nevada Current reporter Michael "MJ" Lyle, creative producer Jacob Solis, and Jesse Merrick break it down what seems to be going on and if these issues underscore bigger problems for Tivoli Village. Then MJ walks us through his recent reporting on voter fraud in Nevada, and we look ahead to the weekend, featuring a Blade-themed rave, a new art walk, and a vintage pop-up market in the Arts District.
