🍸 Drink deals for Thanksgiving Eve
November 25, 2025 · — Rob Kachelriess
🍗 Hey …
Scientists and mathematicians are doing the hard work this holiday season, finding that families in Nevada have a 48.3% chance of surviving Thanksgiving without a big argument.
And that argument is probably about politics 🫣
What's CITY Talking About
⚖️ Henderson City Council Punishes One of Their Own
Talk about a bad week — and it’s only Tuesday. Henderson Councilwoman Carrie Cox is due in court this morning, just one day after she was censured by Henderson City Council. Cox was indicted on a felony charge of secretly recording a fellow council member (from behind a curtain no less). Despite the censure, Cox retains her seat and the right to run for reelection.

🏗️ And Now … the Deconstruction
Crews taking down the Las Vegas Grand Prix track will — like us at City Cast — enjoy a holiday break on Thursday and Friday, but should have the whole thing done by Christmas. [KTNV]

👎 Raiders Get Comfortable in Last Place
Las Vegas may have the worst version of the Raiders in team history. Management seems to think so too, firing Chip Kelly as offensive coordinator after just 11 games and apologizing after quarterback Geno Smith flipped off booing fans. On the plus side, the Raiders won’t ruin your holiday by playing on Thanksgiving. [Las Vegas Review-Journal]
⛅ What About the Weather?
Between a warmer-than-expected Halloween and a wetter-than-expected F1 week, the weather’s been unpredictable of late, but things are looking mild and sunny for Thanksgiving. [KLAS]
- With the forecast on our mind, we caught up with longtime Vegas weathercaster Nate Tannenbaum and tossed every local weather question possible his way — including some fun ones 😉 [City Cast Las Vegas 🎧]
