No tariffs on this deal!
It’s Free Cone Day at Ben and Jerry’s. Just show up and get a free ice cream cone between noon and 8 p.m. 🍦 Keep in mind, the Ben & Jerry’s locations on the Strip do not participate in the giveaway, but the ones at Sunset Station and Green Valley Ranch do 👍
What's CITY Talking About?
⛔ Free Speech For Some, Not For All
Four international students at UNLV are among more than 300 nationwide whose visas were revoked for participating in campus protests or other forms of political activism. With that in mind, UNLV is reminding students that legal immigration services are available for free. [KSNV]
🚳 Hitting the Brakes on E-Bikes
Clark County is looking at a new ordinance to limit or ban e-bikes in natural spaces like parks and trails with fines starting at $150. (Now if we could only fine people who watch videos in public places without turning the phone volume down 🤔) [KTNV]
- The RTC wants to expand its bike-sharing program to Maryland Parkway. But is Vegas safe enough for cyclists? [Las Vegas Review-Journal, City Cast Las Vegas]
🦒 Is Vegas Ready to Try a Zoo Again?
Things can always change, but city and county officials seem lukewarm on a proposal to build a desert-friendly zoo of 25 acres or less. Las Vegas is currently the largest American city without a full-blown zoo — unless you count random homes in Pahrump. [Las Vegas Sun]
- The Strip has a dubious legacy of animal attractions. Maybe it’s best not to rush into another one. [City Cast Las Vegas 🎧]
🦗 Save the Bugs!!
The temperatures are picking up this week, and more sun means more bugs 🥵 Believe it or not, some are worth protecting — according to activists at least. City Cast Las Vegas gets the story about how a proposal to protect bugs could also improve the rate of home construction. [City Cast Las Vegas 🎧]
