😷 Why a hospital didn’t finish an operation

⛽ Get in line early!
The Vegas Golden Knights are giving away gasoline, beginning at 8 a.m. today. It’s happening at the Smiths at 845 E. Lake Mead Parkway in Henderson. Each car gets up to $50 in free gas (until $20,000 is reached) to celebrate Fan Appreciation Week 🏒
What's CITY Talking About?
🚨 Two Stories in One
The search continues at Lake Mead for a missing man who turned out to be a veterinarian under investigation for animal cruelty in — yep — Pahrump. [KLAS]
🩺 Hospital: Oops, Sorry
MountainView Hospital is under investigation after a cancer patient was woken mid-surgery and told the operation couldn’t be finished due to a breathing issue. (I wonder if she still got a bill? 🤔) As it turns out, it had nothing to do with the patient. A defective breathing tube was at fault, but not mentioned by the doctor. [KLAS]
🚘 Another Boring Strip Experience
A new attraction opened on the Strip and it only costs $4 🤑 Don’t get too excited. It’s another Vegas Loop station for the Boring Company’s underground Tesla tunnels. This one’s at the Wynn Encore. [Las Vegas Review-Journal]

🇨🇦 Blame Canada
Not even Coldplay can save Las Vegas. A Canadian music fan says he ate a $500 deposit on a summer vacation to see the band at Allegiant Stadium to protest actions by President Trump against his country. The move reflects a growing trend with Vegas among the U.S. cities seeing a significant drop in tourists from Canada. [Associated Press]
