Yesterday’s City Cast Las Vegas podcast, featuring an interview with Mayor Shelley Berkley, went up later than usual on our site, thanks to a technical glitch.
If you missed it, check it out here before moving on to today's episode, which runs down all the amazing food festivals coming to Las Vegas this year. [City Cast Las Vegas 🎧]
We’ve got the tech issues sorted out this time. I think 🤞
What's CITY Talking About?
💧 Drinking Water Blamed for Bar Owner’s Death
The estate of Milo Hurst believes tainted drinking water contributed to his death, joining dozens of others in lawsuits against the now-bankrupt Real Water supply company. Hurst owned Milo’s Inn, a wine bar in downtown Boulder City, which closed the same month as his passing in November. [KLAS]
🎰 Western Revival
A new, mysterious owner is in place to take over the Western Hotel & Bingo Parlor, which spans a full city block on Fremont Street. The hotel part was already demolished years ago, but no further demolition is planned. The bones are good and the license can be dusted off to bring the casino component back to life.

💰 Nevada Could Get Its First Toll Road
Relax, it would be in Sparks. And the legislature has to approve the idea first. [Sierra Nevada Ally]
👠 Vegas is Fun Again
The Rio is finalizing a deal to host “The Empire Strips Back,” a saucy burlesque parody show based on the “Star Wars” movie series. [Vital Vegas]
- I would totally see that before Mötley Crüe, who just postponed their Park MGM residency to later in the year. [USA Today]
