👀 A Lego thief targets Las Vegas
July 16, 2024 · Rob Kachelriess
🌎 It was only a matter of time before Sin City’s love of electronic dance music hit the Sphere. The high-tech venue presents “The End of Genesys,” a one-night-only performance by Anyma on New Year’s Eve. Special guests are teased. No word on fireworks.
Anyma is a DJ — not to be confused with Anima, one of my favorite restaurants 😋
What's CITY Talking About?
🇺🇲 Biden Time in Las Vegas
President Biden is waking up in Vegas today, offering a campaign counterweight to the GOP convention taking place this week in Milwaukee. The Prez will address the NAACP at Mandalay Bay and appear at a North Las Vegas rally alongside Rep. Steven Horsford. Tomorrow, he’ll address the UnidosUS at the MGM Grand. [Nevada Independent]

💸 Rare Bipartisanship
In the U.S. Senate, Nevada Democrats Jacky Rosen and Catherine Cortez Masto signed onto a bill by Texas Republican Ted Cruz to end federal taxation on tips. The idea is relevant to Vegas’s hospitality sector and was floated by Donald Trump (who officially became the GOP nominee for president yesterday) at a Sunset Park rally last month.

🎰 The LINQ is Loud!
The LINQ comes out on top in a study of the noisiest casinos in Las Vegas, based on how often online reviews use telltale descriptions like “loud” and “deafening.” The Golden Nugget, Plaza, Tuscany Suites, and Planet Hollywood round out the top five. [Casinos.com]
🚨 Lego Thief Apprehended
A man was arrested for stealing Lego sets worth thousands of dollars from Target stores throughout the valley. The charges hurt even more if you step on them. [KSNV]
