What's CITY Talking About?
💰 Undocumented Immigrants Pay Lots of Taxes
Nevada has 170,000 immigrants living in the state illegally, and they paid at least a half-billion in taxes last year — more than the richest one-percent in the state. [Nevada Independent]
🎬 MrBeast & Las Vegas: It’s Complicated
A rep for MrBeast admits that a Vegas taping for the YouTube star’s upcoming game show for Amazon Prime was “complicated” by “logistical and communications issues.” Some of the 1,000 “Beast Games” competitors complained of disorganization, including lack of water and food during the production at Allegiant Stadium. [Las Vegas Review-Journal]
- MrBeast isn’t the first social media star to show up in Las Vegas. [City Cast Las Vegas 🎧]
🚧 Henderson Sued Over Water St. Gateway
A federal lawsuit accuses Henderson of clearing out a Motel 6, laundromat, and sandwich shop to appease the developer of a planned 22-story tower across the street. The new development will help beautify the gateway to the Water St. District. [Nevada Current]
👷 Surprise!
The past two weekends of I-15 closures weren’t enough time to get the repaving done. So another traffic shutdown is coming at a later date, most likely at night. [Las Vegas Review-Journal]
