The newcomers

The demographics of Southern Nevada are growing increasingly young, diverse and wealthy. “The diversification of the types of companies in Las Vegas has created a larger workforce pool,” said Jason Bruckman, vice president of workforce recruitment in Las Vegas for national staffing company Eastridge Workforce Solutions. “I’ve seen the demographic trend skew to a younger workforce.” The transplants making Las Vegas their home today are also younger and bringing in higher median household incomes. “Two early causes for the higher wage appear to be higher wages in the geographies of origin and the fact that we are attracting a workers to fill higher wage positions,” Aguero said.

Golden Knights to display headwear thrown on ice from hat trick

The hats tossed onto the ice Sunday in honor of William Karlsson’s three goals are not going to waste. The Golden Knights plan to build a permanent display featuring the headwear thrown by fans after hat tricks.

Chiefs flag buried under Raiders stadium site in Las Vegas

One of the NFL’s fiercest rivalries has literally taken on new depth. A man buried a Kansas City Chiefs flag near what is expected to be the 50-yard line of the new Raiders stadium going up on the Strip. Chiefs fan Chris Scherzer posted a photo of his friend wearing a white hardhat and dark glasses and holding a red and gold Chiefs banner with the inscription “Chiefs Kingdom” on his Facebook page. The Facebook post read, “Flag buried in dirt, encased in concrete, with a stadium built on top of it. Chiefs 1, Raiders 0. Las Vegas.” Scherzer says his friend was at the stadium site when another acquaintance snapped the photo. The plan was to bury the flag where they presumed the 50-yard line would be. The Raiders’ Las Vegas stadium is set to be completed by the 2020 season.
