Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell gave a national designation to the 30-mile Black Canyon Water Trail in June, making it the first nationally designated water trail in the Southwest and the first in the nation that traverses a desert.

A man was in critical condition after being shot in the east valley Wednesday night, Las Vegas police say. Officers responded to 4509 Sunrise Ave., near Stewart Avenue and Lamb Boulevard, just after 7 p.m. after getting reports that a man had been shot in the neck and was unconscious.
Tucked away in northern Arizona, Flagstaff is known for its thriving arts and music scene against a backdrop of thriving outdoor activities.

Kenny Loggins is a summer tradition in Las Vegas. And he is all-American enough that he doesn’t even have to sing “America the Beautiful” this Fourth of July weekend, although surely no one could stop him.
Easiest summer job of all time? It’s got to go to Ian Ziering, teaming up with a Chippendales show that doesn’t really need any help. It’s a self-sustaining machine that gives the ladies what they scream for, and quite sensibly, doesn’t give Ziering much to do.
Catch a free show this weekend with performances by DJ Logic, The Dirty Hooks, Cash’d Out, Franks & Deans and others.
