City Cast Las Vegas
🚴 Watch out! E-bike crackdown 👮
December 4, 2025 · — Rob Kachelriess
🥃 Hey, have you ever sipped on Picon Punch?
The official state drink of Nevada is barely around in Vegas, so I joined the latest episode of City Cast Las Vegas to do the hard work and … um, “research” other cocktails we believe to be more deserving of the title. [City Cast Las Vegas 🎧]
And no, the yard-long frozen margarita doesn’t make the cut 👎
What's CITY Talking About
🔥 Thunderbird Pilot Crashes
An F-16 Thunderbird fighter jet from Nellis Air Force Base crashed in a dry lake bed in San Bernardino County. The good news: the pilot ejected and is recovering in the hospital after avoiding serious injuries. [KBAK]
🚴 Henderson Police Target Electronic Bikes
Consider yourself warned. Henderson police are on the prowl, taking part in a holiday crackdown on e-motorcycles (illegal) and e-bikes (limited to 15 mph in city parks and on trails). [KSNV]
💸 Cryptocurrency Scams on the Rise
The Nevada secretary of state says more scammers are taking advantage of Bitcoin ATMs, enticing victims to deposit money into the machines (which aren’t traceable and have no spending limits) using all sorts of tactics. [KVVU]
📺 Vegas Casino Drama Coming to Netflix
Who are the heroes and villains of modern-day Las Vegas? If that question carries too much weight in the real world, make sure your Netflix subscription is in order. The streaming giant is planning a new eight-episode drama about the Vegas gaming industry by Martin Scorsese 👀 [Deadline]
- The award-winning director already showed what he could do with our city in “Casino,” which hit theaters 30 years ago. [Hey Las Vegas ✍️]
