City Cast Las Vegas
🏜️ A ‘city’ of art, hidden in the desert
May 13, 2025 · — Rob Kachelriess
🕺 Hey all…
Don’t be alarmed if you see an excess of neon fashion and furry boots in Las Vegas. The Electric Daisy Carnival is coming to town this week — and believe it or not, single-day admission is still available for Sunday at the Motor Speedway.
If you’re EDC-curious and want to check it out, tickets start at $280. Just be ready to call into work sick Monday morning 😴
What's CITY Talking About?
💰 Junk Fees Are Illegal Now
A new law is now in effect requiring full disclosure on the real prices of hotels and live entertainment. No surprise charges! We’ll see how it works out. Las Vegas remains the unofficial capital of the fee society — and there’s always another way to screw over customers. [Las Vegas Review-Journal]
💥 The Most Dangerous Intersections in Vegas
Police are keeping a close eye on Clark County intersections with the most car crashes:
- Flamingo & Rainbow
- Eastern & Sahara
- Charleston & Lamb
- Jones & Tropicana
- Maryland & Sahara [KVVU]
🤢 Listeria Outbreak Hits Nevada
Feel tired, achey, or nauseous? It’s probably allergies. Could be Listeria. [Associated Press]
🍝 Piero’s Sold
Word has leaked: Piero’s was sold to the parent company of Siegel Suites, Bagelmania, and Pinkbox Doughnuts. The restaurant has been a locals' favorite for more than 30 years, despite a recent alleged threat by the owner’s son to shoot up the place. [Casino.org]

City Cast Las Vegas has a live podcast taping at the Rita Deanin Abbey Museum on Thursday, May 22 at 6:30 p.m.
This is a wonderful excuse to visit one of my favorite museums in Las Vegas — a beautiful space that houses the vast and varied art pieces of the late Rita Deanin Abbey, a UNLV professor who drew inspiration from Nevada’s natural landscapes.
Tickets are free for the taping — and moving fast. Get yours today and join us for a special night 👍
