City Cast Las Vegas
🎰 Is Primm dying?
August 5, 2025 · — Rob Kachelriess
🍼 I tend to avoid children as much as possible — online, on TV, and in public places. But I can’t get enough of this video, showing a baby winning a halftime crawling contest at a Las Vegas Aces game — and taking her first steps to cross the finish line 🥹
What's CITY Talking About?
🎰 Say Goodbye to Poker Palace
Poker Palace will close on October 1, leaving more than 120 employees out of work. The small, locals’ casino opened in 1951 when it was known as Bunny’s Bar and is in North Las Vegas near Nellis Air Force Base. [Las Vegas Review-Journal]
💥 Car Collides with Historic Bar
The last time Dino’s Lounge was in the news, Coldplay’s Chris Martin showed up for a surprise karaoke session. This time around, it’s because a car crashed through the front wall. The woman behind the wheel was hospitalized. No one else was hurt. [KVVU]
🚗 A Vegas Loop Teslas to Escape Tunnels?
Elon Musk wants approval to use his Vegas Loop Teslas, which operate via an underground tunnel system, to service regular roads as low-cost taxis. Remember — the Vegas Loop was billed as a way to ease congestion on city streets. [Nevada Current]
🚨 Republicans Seek ‘Coyote Compound’ for Nevada
The Nevada Republican Party is polling supporters on a hypothetical “Coyote Compound” as our state’s version of the “Alligator Alcatraz” ICE detention center in Florida. It seems to be little more than an online engagement tactic — for now — but ICE suddenly has a huge budget and El Presidente would probably love the idea. [Nevada GOP]
- Nevada already has three immigration detention centers, including one in Pahrump that denied entry to Democratic Congressman Steven Horsford last week. [KSNV]
