🚔 Outrage On Ice?

Metro says it won’t make additional changes to its immigration policy after applying to join a Warrant Service Officer program with ICE.

🎰We received some thoughtful feedback on the City Cast Las Vegas episode about what qualifies as a “locals casino” in Las Vegas.

Somebody tell Sarah about Jerry’s Nugget! We go there for the old-school bingo hall, generous comps, diner, and the most impressive eclair in town. If you order it for takeout, it comes in a box with Jerry’s Nugget printed on it. A bakery and a bit of kitsch all in one!

I booked our room for the Red Rock Resort online. It was expensive but we were splurging on a city view for about $400. I mentioned we were locals on a staycation for our 30th wedding anniversary. We got there to check in and it was taking them a minute to find our reservation. Then she said, “Oh! You need to go check in over there at the VIP desk.” Huh? Ok. So we went through the doors to the fancy area and were upgraded to a suite! She said it was a room that normally rents for $8,000+ but we were getting it for the same price that we originally booked for! We were blown away!
