🦷 Coyotes to humans: Just a little bite?
January 25, 2024
Welcome to the last Thursday of the week (I hope) (looong week). Today we have bitey coyotes, a view from Mount Charleston, and enough food content to shift you into Gobblin’ Mode. Let’s get to it.
What's CITY Talking About?
⚖️💸 Oh, Those Billable Hours …
To help fight the legal battle against releasing video of a school-police incident — a battle it eventually lost — the Clark County School District paid $46,000 to an outside law firm. As the ACLU points out, CCSD has its own lawyers. [Review-Journal]
🐺 From Yippers to Nippers
Henderson officials are warning people not to try petting the cute coyotes — two people have been bitten this month in the posh Lake Las Vegas neighborhood. Experts say coyotes are losing their fear of humans because too many of us feed them. [KVVU]

😠 Chips Were Down
Guy orders nachos at Fontainebleau sports book. Pays $24. Waits an hour. Nachos finally arrive — all six (6) of them. Social-media flash fire ensues. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you #Nachogate. [Casino.org]
- If Las Vegas can fix its nacho-delivery issues, it stands a good chance of prospering in the dumbly named “fun economy,” say UNLV fun experts, i.e., economists. [Nevada Independent]

🗻 What It’s Like to Live on Mount Charleston
In light of the big weather on Mount Charleston this week, we’re reupping our conversation with year-round resident Jimmy Alderson, known on the socials as “Mt. Charleston Mountain Man.” He tells co-host Dayvid Figler what life is really like up there, and the skills you need to get through winter.
I sure hope Henderson gets its coyote problem under control before the biting leads to bigger problems — anvils, fake tunnels painted on cliffsides, ACME boxes littering the desert …
