🥃 Want to do a shot and make history this weekend?
Khoury’s Fine Wine & Spirits is throwing a 20th anniversary celebration on Saturday (2 p.m. to close) with an attempt to break the world record for largest toast of Underberg (a cultish digestive) at 8:30 p.m.
What's CITY Talking About?
🗳️ Harris Returns to Vegas
Vice President Kamala Harris will be in Las Vegas for a rally Sunday, adding to an already busy weekend that includes the Life is Beautiful block party and at least three food festivals. (Scroll down for details on those events 👇) [KSNV]
- The first Nevada votes in the election were already cast via a new digital absentee voting system. City Cast Las Vegas co-hosts Dayvid Figler and Sarah Lohman welcome Michael Lyle of the Nevada Current to discuss voting on tribal land as well as controversies surrounding Macklemore’s cancellation at the Neon City Festival and a UNLV quarterback’s decision to bench himself over money in the Friday news roundup.

⚖️ Sex Abuse Case Against Actor Dismissed
The Nevada Supreme Court dismissed an indictment against Nathan Chasing Horse on sexual abuse charges based on how the definition of grooming was presented and inconsistent statements by a person claiming to be a victim. Charges against the “Dances with Wolves” actor could still be refiled. [Associated Press]
🧳 The Airport is a Crowded Mess
So let’s fix it. First, tear down part of Terminal 1 and rebuild it to accommodate at least 25 additional gates. Then add a new road with more efficient rideshare pickup areas. While you’re at it, change the name of Terminal 3 to Terminal 2 (since we no longer have a T2). These ideas are all part of a renovation plan before Clark County. [KLAS]
- I mean, we already fixed the name. Read on for more ⤵️
