City Cast Las Vegas
🍳 Why egg prices are especially high in Nevada
January 31, 2025 · Rob Kachelriess
🐍 We’re three days into the Year of the Snake with celebrations unfolding across the valley (although I keep writing Year of the Dragon on my checks).
Feel the spirit of Lunar New Year to the fullest at the Las Vegas Spring Festival Parade tomorrow on Fremont Street at 11 a.m., followed by the Las Vegas Lunar New Year Festival in Chinatown, beginning at noon 🎉
What's CITY Talking About?
🔫 Oops, Missing Firearms
A man was arrested after police say he stole more than 40 firearms at the Westgate from a licensed transport vehicle in town for the SHOT show. You’d think it would be harder for one guy to pull this off 🤔 [KSNV]
💸 Job Applicants Scammed
Job seekers paid a $200 “application fee” in the hopes of becoming third-party Amazon delivery drivers. They returned for a follow-up interview to find out the hard way, there was no job. [KLAS]
🥚 Nevada’s High Egg Prices
The combination of inflation and a nasty bird flu outbreak has caused egg prices to spike across the country. The problem is even worse in Nevada, thanks to a relatively new law prohibiting the sale of eggs sourced from caged hens. [Las Vegas Review-Journal]
- 8 News Now anchor John Langeler joins City Cast Las Vegas co-hosts Sarah Lohman and Dayvid Figler for the Friday news roundup to discuss the shortage plus high auto insurance rates and the Museum of Ice Cream coming to AREA15. It’s an egg-cellent episode, so check it out! [City Cast Las Vegas 🎧]
