What's CITY Talking About?

🚔 No Charges for Officer Who Shot Wrong Person

A grand jury declined to press charges against a police officer in the deadly shooting of Brandon Durham, who called 911 for help after a woman he knew broke into his home. A police union lawyer says the officer acted reasonably in viewing the homeowner, who had meth in his system and may have been hallucinating, as the aggressor in the struggle. [KTNV]

🔥 Businesses Lost in Fire Near UNLV

No word yet on what caused a two-alarm fire Friday at University Gardens, a shopping center across the street from UNLV on Maryland Parkway. Nobody was reported hurt, but eight businesses, including a post office, tattoo parlor, and vape shop were destroyed. [KVVU]

🍺 Hogs & Heifers: New Hangout for Lawyers?

After getting the boot from its longtime home near the Fremont Street Experience, Hogs & Heifers has announced a new location near City Hall on Main Street at the site of the old “historic” Little Hotel Rooming House. Added emphasis on those quotation marks. [Vital Vegas]

🚘 Nashville Gets Boring Too

Nashville is already described as a “theme park of intoxication” and the city is about to get more like Las Vegas in another way too: Elon Musk’s Boring Company plans to build an underground Tesla tunnel from the entertainment district to the airport with an official announcement expected today.

🏠 Home Demand Cools

The latest stats show that home prices are dropping as inventory increases — a reversal of trends for the Las Vegas market. [Realtor.com]

  • Are we in trouble? Do we need more Californians to move here? The responses range from “maybe” to “no way” and “just calm down, won’t you?” as City Cast Las Vegas tackles the complicated relationship with our neighbors across the state line. [City Cast Las Vegas 🎧]

Where Is It?

A wall covered with portraits of U.S. presidents.
Very presidential. (Rob Kachelriess/City Cast Las Vegas)

There’s something about presidential politics that makes you want to drink 🍸 That’s why this wall mural isn’t inside a local high school classroom, but in one of our valley’s bars.

So … Where is it?

A. AmeriCAN at The LINQ

B. ReBar in the Arts District

☝️A correction …

In Friday’s news quiz, we included Jokers Wild in a list of closed Henderson casinos. While on the way out, Jokers Wild is currently open and will remain that way until it’s replaced next year by the Cadence Crossing casino, which is under construction next door 🎰
