City Cast Las Vegas
🗳️ Is Sam Brown catching up on Jacky Rosen?
October 31, 2024 · Rob Kachelriess
🎃 Happy Halloween! But even more important — today is Nevada’s birthday 🥳 🎂
Yes, it’s been 160 years since Nevada officially became a state 🇺🇲
So I joined the City Cast Las Vegas podcast for the second day in a row to discuss something we all love: birthday freebies in Las Vegas. Co-host Dayvid Figler and I shared details on how to get booze, food, and even entry to cool attractions on your birthday. We also talked about the perks of year-round locals discounts. Listen in!
What's CITY Talking About?
👀 U.S. Senate Race is One to Watch
According to internal GOP polling, Nevada’s U.S. Senate race is “surging in the direction of” Republican Sam Brown. Feel free to file that information under “grain of salt,” but national Republicans are pumping millions into Sam Brown’s campaign, viewing the seat as one with heavy potential to flip. So far, Rosen has been ahead in funds and (non-internal) polls. [Nevada Current]
Beware Election Scams
If you receive a call, text, or email claiming you’re not registered to vote — listen carefully — IT’S A SCAM. And please, don’t follow any links asking you to fill out a form. [KVVU]
🛎️ Symphony Park Hotel Moves Forward
What does Vegas need? More hotels! A topping-off ceremony was held for the dual-branded AC Hotel by Marriott Symphony Park and Element by Westin Symphony Park next to the Smith Center. Catchy name, huh? The 5-story resort will have more than 400 rooms when it opens in late 2025. [KSNV]
