City Cast Las Vegas
🍹 Spooky Halloween bars in Vegas
September 30, 2025 · — Rob Kachelriess
☀️ Hey Vegas,
There are just three more days left of our fall membership campaign — and we’re so close to reaching our goals.
How close?
This close.
Every day, we share stories that help you better understand your neighbors, celebrate what we have in common, and wrestle honestly with where we disagree.
When you become a City Cast Las Vegas Neighbor, you’re helping sustain this essential local conversation. Plus, you’ll get access to members-only events to connect with your actual neighbors IRL. We think that’s pretty cool 😎
If just 10 more people sign up today, we’ll be ahead of our goals for the week 🥳
And we’ll mail you a tote.
Will you join us for $10 a month or $100 a year?
What's CITY Talking About?
💡 A Sign of Something Good

🎰 Poker Palace Plans a Comeback
Poker Palace is on the way out, but returning with a new name and top-to-bottom renovation in 2026. The North Las Vegas casino was bought by Truckee Gaming, which operates nine casinos in Northern Nevada, plus one you probably don’t know about in Henderson — Club Fortune. [Las Vegas Review-Journal]
🏠 Mo Money, Mo Problems
Homes sold for more than a million bucks in Lake Las Vegas are beginning to fall apart, despite being just a few years old. Homeowners blame unstable ground and rushed construction. [KVVU]
✍️ Parents Receive Homework
The Clark County School District is surveying students and parents on the idea of starting the school day 30 minutes later. If approved, the new policy would go in effect for the 2026/2027 school year. [KLAS]
🏕️ The Best Glampgrounds Near Vegas
Fall is here, a season for glamping in the great outdoors that surround Las Vegas. The Town editor and travel expert Melinda Sheckells shares some of her favorite glamping spots to spend the night under the stars — without sacrificing comfort. [City Cast Las Vegas 🎧]

— Vince W.
