🍎 How to fill teacher jobs in Vegas

🧳 Hey …
In more evidence that Vegas is not quite dead but in need of a little juice, Caesars Entertainment wants to pay you $200 to take a $300 vacation — sorta. I’ll explain.
Book a two-night stay at the Flamingo, The LINQ Hotel, or Harrah’s for $300 (taxes and resort fees included) and you’ll get a $200 dining credit. That should cover at least three cocktails 👍
What's CITY Talking About?
🚒 Cursed Fire Zone?
No word yet on what caused a three-alarm fire east of the Strip at an apartment complex that displaced dozens of renters and sent one firefighter to the hospital. Here’s the weird part: It happened near Maryland and Tropicana, close to where another large fire tore through a shopping plaza in late July. [KLAS]
- Video of the flames, albeit brief, was posted here. [Reddit}
🥳 The DMV Is Back
It’s the announcement you couldn’t wait to hear: The DMV is ready to see you now 🫡 Offices are back open more than a week after a statewide cyberattack, although services may be limited. [KSNV]
💰 CCSD FIgures Out How to Fill Teacher Jobs
The Clark County School District launched a new school year with just 320 classroom teacher vacancies compared to 1,400 vacancies three years ago. The secret to keeping teachers around? Paying them more. [Nevada Independent]
🎉 The Rio Celebrates 35 Years in Las Vegas
The Rio has been around since 1990, but feels new again after a series of renovations, from hotel room upgrades to revamped dining options and all-new LED exterior lights. Owner Dreamscape just closed a $176 million loan as improvements continue. [Las Vegas Review-Journal]
- CEO Patrick Miller talks to City Cast Las Vegas about the legacy of the 35-year-old property and what lies ahead in the future. [City Cast Las Vegas 🎧]

🚗 Las Vegans know a lot about traffic these days. Perhaps a little too much 😵💫
So you may have a witty suggestion for the New Yorker's latest cartoon caption contest, which depicts a circle of traffic cones, exchanging words in some sort of therapy session.
