Since the first implosion in the Las Vegas Valley in 1993, they’ve become major events celebrating the new and remembering the old.
Several actors, athletes and musicians will “LifeRide” into Las Vegas on Monday and Tuesday for a motorcycle rally to raise money for amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research.
Wiz Khalifa, in town to perform, treated 30 people in his tour crew to Tao Asian Bistro on Thursday, dining finely on Chilean sea bass, lobster wontons, sushi, Imperial Wagyu, orange chicken and vegetable fried rice, sake and cocktails.
Last time I talked to Khalifa, last year, he was telling me about the benefits of smoking weed (medicinal, happiness), so I asked him how he smokes it.
“Joints and bongs are my favorites. I don’t smoke blunts at all. Bongs are cool. They’re smoother than the pipe.”
All that food he and his crew ordered at Tao makes even more sense, if you think about it.
There’s a lingerie fight happening Saturday night, featuring women named “Babydoll,” “The Hammer,” “The Lotus,” “The Valkyrie,” “The Sorceress,” “El Toro,” “Aphrodite,” “Ladykillah,” “The Raven,” “Nuclear,” “Crash,” “Bloody,” “The Animal” and “Feisty Fists.”
Women have thrown underwear and hotel keys at Justin Shandor, who will headline Saturday’s “Elvis, the Vegas Tour Tribute” at M Resort.
A Charlotte County, Fla., deputy who may have found the catch of his life while fishing: 50 pounds of cocaine worth millions in the Gulf of Mexico.
First Friday in August may bring out a smaller crowd than you’ll see in the cooler months, but there’s still plenty going on.
Las Vegas police shot and killed a man who they said lunged at an officer with a sharp object inside a western valley home Friday morning.
Six men suspected in a yearslong series of crimes that included repeated ramming of police cars were arrested Friday. Las Vegas police said three of them were caught in the act of committing more crimes.
It’s been said that there are two certainties in life: death and taxes. There is most definitely a third: the federal government will never cease in its zeal to regulate you into those first two certainties. The latest example of this comes courtesy of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
It may be hard to imagine now after 14 years and four movies, but Shrek — the animated ogre with the flute-shaped ears — almost turned out very differently.
I totally disagree with the article on Latinos and the presidential election (“Vegas Hispanics say no to Trump, yes to a Democrat,” Monday Review-Journal). The majority of us will definitely not vote for Democrats. Democrats are trying to buy Latino votes by making false promises and offering free money (such as welfare).
State officials are dimming the lights and preparing to phase out an ambitious but short-lived program initially intended to help people stay in their homes as Nevada’s housing market crumbled and home values plummeted during the Great Recession.
For years, Quentin Abrmo rented space to other small businesses that shared the building’s open interior — a job he admits he did “poorly” without a formal business plan. But now Abramo has formalized the shared-space, co-work operation in a new role as managing partner of Co-Operate On, LLC.
A mother was charged with child cruelty and false imprisonment after authorities said her special needs children, an 11-year-old boy and 8-year-old girl, had been kept in homemade cages, investigators said on Friday.
Three Nevada correctional officers who were put on leave after a fatal shooting at a state prison in November have collected a combined $73,000 in salary and benefits while an investigation continues, records from the Department of Corrections show.
A Colorado jury sentenced movie rampage gunman James Holmes to life without parole on Friday, rejecting the death penalty for the 27-year-old who entered a midnight screening of a Batman film wielding a semi-automatic rifle, shotgun and pistol and killed a dozen people.
In a long expected move, the family of Kevin Ward Jr. has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against NASCAR driver Tony Stewart.
Las Vegas Justice Court Chief Judge Joe Bonaventure on Friday said his court lacked jurisdiction to hear motions to dismiss charges and release mentally ill detainees now languishing in jail.
“Irrational Man” continues a summer of miscastings for the talented, likable actress. But while Woody Allen’s latest plays to exactly zero of Stone’s strengths, unlike Crowe, he at least had the good sense to not ask her to play a quarter-Hawaiian, quarter-Chinese woman named Allison Ng.
A month-old baby was found dead after possibly being thrown out of a fourth-floor window in the New York borough of Queens, police said on Friday.
The easy story is the one that says family was the reason Jay’Onn Myles chose UNLV over Baylor. But it wouldn’t be correct. Myles saw an even deeper reason to go with the Rebels, a can’t-miss determination from first-year coach Tony Sanchez and his staff to change a battered and beleaguered football program.
At this point last year, running back Altee Tenpenny was preparing to help Alabama try to win a national championship.
If a team could use a little divine intervention right now, it’s the Las Vegas Outlaws. The Arena Football League expansion team has had more than its share of struggles in its inaugural season, yet here they are in the final week of the season with a chance to make the playoffs.
Lincoln Lee has filed for bankruptcy, but I’m not sure that’s going to make his life much easier.
Forget the polls. Forget the talking heads on TV. Forget the lies and empty promises being pitched by the candidates. If you want to know who the Republican presidential nominee will be, look to Vegas.

Do I really need $1 million in retirement savings? That depends on your lifestyle and the extent you want to replicate that in the future — that is, how much of your current income you hope to replace a few decades down the road. In many cases, yes, you might need $1 million or more in retirement savings if you are not going to continue working.
After a day of below-normal temps and empty threats of flooding Friday, the valley can expect to dry out and warm up over the weekend.
