As the political landscape evolves, it seems likely that Vice President Kamala Harris will step into the role of Democratic presidential nominee. If that happens, one area that many people have their eye on is the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a cornerstone of healthcare policy in the U.S.
Officially, Repair the Vote — a PAC headed by former Clark County Republican Party Chair David Gibbs — has been the public face of the ballot question that would require Nevadans to show a form of ID when voting. But behind the scenes, one entity appears to have provided the vast majority of financial muscle needed to get the question on the ballot — the Las Vegas Sands.
Gov. Joe Lombardo has one goal this November: “To win.” The Republican governor isn’t up for reelection this year. Instead, he’s referring to nearly a dozen legislative races in which candidates he endorsed seek to protect his veto power during the 2025 legislature — where Democrats are just one seat away from a supermajority in both chambers.
Nevadans in November will vote on a ballot question aimed at enshrining abortion rights in the state Constitution, and will chose among slates of candidates who either tout their long-standing support of reproductive rights, or who are softening their previous—and more radical—positions on abortion.
The passage of time has always fascinated the human mind. Tools to measure time were the first to be developed at the dawn of civilization. And each person has his or her own record of time, which sometimes seems to stretch or contract depending on the activity being performed. This perception often depends on the boredom or amusement of the situation being experienced.
Researchers from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (51ԹϺ) have discovered interesting facts about how our brain perceives the flow of time. People often think that our brains are synchronized with artificial clocks on electronic devices, counting time in very precise, minute intervals. However, a study published this month in the journal Current Biology shows that our brains do not function that way.
Along Boulder Highway near a neighborhood of chemical plants is a part of Henderson that has come to be known, disparagingly, as “Hendertucky.” But, where did that less-than-flattering nickname for the area come from?
No, President Joe Biden did not die or be “health evacuated” from Las Vegas last week. After Biden was diagnosed with COVID-19, cutting short his trip to Southern Nevada, rumors about his health began to spread on social media.
A final blast from The Mirage’s signature volcano marked the passage of an ageing Las Vegas resort that wowed crowds when it opened in 1989 and went on to revolutionise the casino resort industry in the United States, and reshape Las Vegas, Nevada as a tourist destination.

When most people think of the City of Las Vegas, they think of the iconic Strip lined with dozens of hotels and casinos and the iconic "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign. Clark County Commission Chair Tick Segerblom says what may surprise many is that the famous sign is a bit misleading, as it and the entire so-called Las Vegas Strip reside within unincorporated Clark County.
No, President Joe Biden did not die, nor was he “medevaced” from Las Vegas last week. After Biden was diagnosed with COVID-19, cutting his Southern Nevada trip short, rumors began spreading on social media about his health.
