🍺 Fun stuff to do in June

🤑 Vance on the Crypto Campaign Trail

JD Vance was in Las Vegas to talk about made-up fantasy money that doesn’t exist. No, not the “big, beautiful” budget bill — but cryptocurrency.

⛏️ History Worth Preserving

UNLV and Preserve Nevada updated their ongoing list of the state’s most endangered historic places. New additions include La Concha, a vintage motel that’s now the lobby of the Noen Museum, but may not survive a location change, the Commercial Hotel in Elko, and Florence Mine in Goldfield. The work and employment of historians are also at risk, due to funding cuts at national parks and monuments. [Preserve Nevada]
