What's CITY Talking About
🎰 New York’s in a Vegas State of Mind
Gaming licenses were approved for three New York projects described as the state’s first-ever “Vegas-style” casinos. They include a Hard Rock next to the Mets baseball stadium, a Bally’s at a Bronx golf course, and an expansion of a Resorts World property already in Queens. [ABC News]
🫤 Tony Hsieh’s Will Is Bogus
That’s according to expert analysis submitted in court documents, claiming signatures on the document were forged or belong to people who have no traceable address. The estate of the Downtown investor and former Zappos CEO has been in dispute since the will mysteriously showed up earlier this year. [KLAS]
✍️ Nevada Receives a Mixed Grade on Gun Safety
A gun control advocacy group gave Nevada a B- on weapons safety — a solid "barely above average" I suppose. While our state strengthened gun laws after the 2017 mass shooting on the Strip, few improvements have been made since then. [Nevada Current]
🚴 E-Bike Crackdown Seems to Be Working
Henderson police have turned their attention to the real criminals — e-bike and scooter users — with nearly a hundred stops leading to 47 citations and 14 towed or impounded vehicles. [KTNV]

🎥 As someone who grew up on repeat viewings of “This Is Spinal Tap,” “Stand By Me,” “A Few Good Men,” “The Princess Bride,” and “The American President,” I’m shocked and saddened by the news involving Rob Reiner.
He was a great American storyteller. See another one of his classics, “When Harry Met Sally,” as part of a New Year’s Eve celebration at the Beverly Theater.
