🍸 Kash Patel’s Vegas adventures
April 21, 2026 · — Rob Kachelriess
🌤️ Our spring weather continues to fall into the “anything and everything” category. After a hot Monday, the temperatures are expected to cool off the rest of the week.
What's CITY Talking About
⚖️ Prisoner’s Fate Is Unresolved After Conviction Cleared
Rickie Slaughter spent 22 years in the Nevada prison system before a judge vacated his conviction last month on charges that include attempted murder and conspiracy to commit kidnapping. Slaughter remains behind bars, however, while District Attorney Steve Wolfson weighs his option to retry the case. [Nevada Current]
- City Cast Las Vegas explains the controversy behind the case in something new — a Tuesday news roundup that also looks at Nevada’s role in curbing the influence of Roblox on kids, and a fond farewell to the latest Las Vegas buffet to close its doors. [City Cast Las Vegas 🎧]
🍸 Kash Patel Fond of the Fontainebleau?
Kash Patel filed a $250 million lawsuit against The Atlantic, which is promising to vigorously defend its reporting on the FBI director. According to a story published Friday, the Las Vegas native spends late nights drinking at the exclusive Poodle Room atop the Fontainebleau, which has been affecting his work schedule.

🏠 Nevadans Have Trouble Leaving the Nest
According to a new study, about a third of Nevadans between 18 and 34 live at home with their parents. No word on how many pay rent — or take out the trash. [Las Vegas Review-Journal]
- Possibly related: Our state’s unemployment rate of 5.3% remains the highest in the nation. [Las Vegas Sun]
⛸️ Does Las Vegas Have Enough Ice Rinks?
Maybe not. The City of Las Vegas wants to build another one on a five-acre lot near Centennial Hills. [KTNV]

📚 I love this idea …
The Las Vegas Valley adds to a growing list of book clubs with Roaming Readers, which combines an outdoor stroll with a discussion about a book. This week’s edition meets at the West Henderson Library on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. and will go over “The Silent Patient” by Alex Michaelides. That gives you a few days to read it 👍
