What's CITY Talking About?
🔥 Home Collapses in Fire
The bodies of two adults and two children were recovered from an American West home, destroyed by a two-alarm fire near Jones and Windmill. A mother and child survived after jumping from a third-story window. [KSNV]
🚔 Charges Against Cop Get Worse
Judge set bail at $100,000 cash for a Metro police sergeant facing child pornography charges. The evidence was found during an investigation into whether Sgt. Kevin Menon abused his power to instigate arrests as a plainclothes officer on the Strip. [KTNV]
🚨 Drones Now Respond to Police Calls
Metro police have been using a new Mobile Drone First Responder Unit for more than 20 days now. The drones help when surveillance is needed, but can’t fly over private backyards or restricted airspace. How long before these things are handing me traffic tickets? 🤔 [KVVU]
🏈 Record Crowd Expected for UNLV Game
Today’s football game between the Rebels and Boise State is expected to draw up to 37,000 fans at Allegiant Stadium, making it the biggest game in UNLV history — and maybe the most beer chugged during a UNLV game too 😁🍺 [Las Vegas Review-Journal]
🏟️ Is the A’s stadium really happening?
Now that the Tropicana is gone, all eyes are looking to see how soon a baseball stadium can be built on the lot. There are a lot of promises, questions about funding, and skepticism out there. City Cast Las Vegas co-host Dayvid Figler and executive producer Layla Muhammad welcome Michael “MJ” Lyle of the Nevada Current to sort out the stadium speculation, break down early voting numbers, and discuss how Vegas tourism is getting back on track post-COVID.
