City Cast Las Vegas
🤖 Is Vegas ready for an AI hotel?
September 20, 2024 · Rob Kachelriess
🎉 We love to talk about events, whether it’s the listings in the newsletter, on our website, or in a special weekly planner that’s exclusive for City Cast Las Vegas members.
But here’s another one worth your attention. The Space hosts Punk Rock is Beautiful, an all-ages concert with food trucks 4 - 10:30 p.m. on Saturday. All proceeds will be donated to the Vegas Pet Rescue Project, a group advocating for animal protections after the recent death of Reba, an abandoned dog.
We hope they have a packed house this weekend 🎸
What's CITY Talking About?
🐘 Team Trump Coming to Vegas
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and former Congress member Tulsi Gabbard are stumping for Donald Trump at Bob Price Recreation Center Saturday. [KVVU]
- City Cast Las Vegas reflected on Trump’s visit to Vegas last week. Co-hosts Dayvid Figler and Sarah Lohman are joined by executive producer Sonja Cho Swanson to discuss his interview with Channel 13, a recurring problem with lithium battery fires on highways, and Vegas’s place in the world of artisan coffee in a packed Friday news roundup.

🤖 Vegas Hotels, Now with Artificial Intelligence
The Otonomus Hotel and apartment hybrid will have AI features when it opens in 2025 near Allegiant Stadium. An app will track the habits of tenants and guests to customize the experience … which doesn’t sound creepy at all. [Las Vegas Review-Journal]
🎶 Big Names, Big Festivals
The headliners were announced for the Neon City Festival, a free Downtown event that coincides with Formula 1 weekend Nov. 21 - 24. Who made the lineup? Click here to find out.
- Metallica is returning to Las Vegas next year to headline Sick New World on April 12 at the Las Vegas Festival Grounds. [Las Vegas Review-Journal]
- Sick New World was founded by System of the Down, whose bass player, Shavo Odadjian, spoke to us about headlining the first two years. [Hey Las Vegas ✍️]
🚧 Chasing Pavement
This is weird. Residents in a Henderson neighborhood failed to move their cars for road work despite at least two warnings. So the work was done around the cars, leaving gaps in the asphalt. [KVVU]
