What's CITY Talking About?
🇺🇲 The Right to Talk Trash
Fast Fit body sculpting is being sued over a “muzzle clause” that prevents clients from leaving negative online reviews. The lawyer behind the suit claims the clause, said to be buried in a five-page contract, is illegal and unenforceable. The case is due in court next year. [KTNV]
👮 Quick Turnaround
A Henderson officer fired for a DUI charge a day after graduating from the police academy is a former baseball pro who played for the Mets, Mariners, and here in Vegas as part of the 51s. Chasen Bradford was “swerving” and “hitting medians” before he was arrested and promptly fired. [Las Vegas Review Journal]
🔥 Hotel Fire Evacuation
Guests were forced to evacuate in the middle of the night after a fire broke out at the DoubleTree by Hilton near 215 and Warm Springs. Flames were discovered in one of the elevators. Nobody was injured. [KVVU]

🏠 On federal land for housing…
“Dear Governor, It's time to start thinking about all this building and the profits. What happens when we run out of water? Schools are out of teachers already. What then? Start spending and give a thought to our future.”
— Gwen T.
💊 And the state of medical care…
“The doctors aren't the problem in my experience. It's the corporations that own the private practices … My brilliant doc that works for a corporation tells me he no longer hires his own staff, nor is he able to correct any mistakes they make. The office manager runs the place. It's a terrible office to go to. Mistakes everytime I go there.”
— Darlene G.
🥱 Press releases we barely read

- Nevada Ranks 2nd among the States Where Mortgage Debt is Increasing the Most
- Nevada Is 2024’s 3rd Most Stressed State

Final thoughts: A Texas man is running for president after changing his name to “Literally Anybody Else.” Wonder if someone could run for office in Nevada as “None of These Candidates”? 🙃
