2. Las Vegas police say prostitution arrests spiked during Mayweather-McGregor fight weekend. Booking logs show there were 118 prostitution-related arrests between Friday and Sunday, with a peak of 62 arrests on Sunday. By contrast, the first week of August garnered 34 prostitution arrests.
3. The new owners of Legacy Golf Club said Tuesday they intend to keep it as a golf course.
