🚬 False Fees for Smoking at the Rio?

The Better Business Bureau has received nearly 30 complaints against the Rio over smoking charges this year. One woman who insists she doesn't smoke at all (and even works as an anti-smoking health advocate) had a $350 fee (plus tax 😳) added to her bill. She's questioning the accuracy of the sensors that monitor rooms. [KLAS]

🐮 Where’s the Beef (Coming From)?

Nevada ranchers and Democratic senators are taking issue with the Trump administration’s plan to import more beef from Argentina — an idea drafted to help the South American country’s economy and lower prices here in the United States. Nevada has more than 1,100 cattle ranches.

• I have a few road trips in mind to find restaurants with local beef 😋 [Hey Las Vegas ✍️]
