What's CITY Talking About
🚨 Ohio Murder Suspect Had Vegas Ties
Have you been following the Ohio murder case about a couple shot in their home by the wife’s ex-husband? Well, the suspect may have been your doctor. Michael McKee was licensed at a medical office near Sunset and Durango a few years ago (and caught up in a malpractice lawsuit) before leaving Las Vegas. [KLAS]
💰 Allegiant Buys Another Airline

Allegiant Air will remain headquartered in Las Vegas after spending 1.5 billion to acquire Sun Country Airlines, opening up new routes — and more options for where I want to spend my PTO this year.

Whenever a big music act is teasing a “big announcement” on the Today show, nine times out of ten it’s a Vegas residency. And that was the case for Mary J. Blige, who’s coming to the Park MGM’s Dolby Live in May. [Today]
