What's CITY Talking About?
🏟️ Allegiant Stadium, Coolest Polling Place in Vegas
Everything is experiential in Las Vegas — even elections. For the first time ever, Allegiant Stadium will be open to the public as a voting location on Nov. 5. You even get a special stadium-themed “I Voted” sticker 😁 [KLAS]
🏈 Circa Sponsorship Fizzles Out
Circa CEO Derek Stevens attempted to step in and cover the $100,000 signing bonus a UNLV quarterback says he was promised, but failed to receive from the university before quitting the team. It appears Stevens’ offer was made too late, however. [FootballScoop]
- City Cast Las Vegas explained the situation during last week’s Friday news roundup. [City Cast Las Vegas 🎧]
🍹 Peppermill Receives a Makeover
You may have noticed — the Peppermill has a new rooftop sign. It’s part of $1.8 million in renovations over the past year. The iconic lounge and diner also replaced some seating and upgraded less visible stuff like plumbing and electrical work. [Las Vegas Review-Journal]
🎸 Radio Stations Ban Green Day
Two rock radio stations, KOMP 92.3 FM and KXTE 107.5, have banned Green Day from the airwaves after lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong went on a profanity-driven rant against Las Vegas during a recent Bay Area show. [Loudwire]
Where Is It?
A little foliage, some concrete, and a plate that says “06/12 We are the future Guardians of tomorrow Teachers of today” 🤔

A. The CSN International Student Center at the Charleston campus?
B. The Quad courtyard of UnCommons by Urth Caffé?
C. Outside the auditorium at the Historic Fifth Street School?
