    A leak in a fuel pipeline facility in California forced a shutdown of deliveries of gasoline and diesel from the Los Angeles area east to areas including Las Vegas and Phoenix, but officials said Friday they believed supplies would not immediately be affected. Pipeline operator Kinder Morgan told The Associated Press the leak was discovered Thursday afternoon at a company station near Los Angeles and that its CALNEV and SFPP West pipelines were shut down while the Houston-based pipeline operator worked to resolve the issue. It did not say how much fuel leaked or when service would be restored. The...

    Inflation is taking its toll on Sin City as fewer tourists are visiting the gambling Mecca, and those who do spend less than usual, according to a new report. The University of Las Vegas business school released a report forecasting the city's economic outlook between 2022 and 2024 and noted that its economy turned grim in June of this year, according to Fox 5. "Interest rates have gone up. And we know that we know that prices are going up as well. And that’s what the Fed is trying to get their hands around and solve. So it may be...

    Adele's mega-money residency in Las Vegas started triumphantly on Friday night – but behind the scenes there has been drama, with the singer shunning a luxury suite at a hotel owned by Caesars Palace, where the show is being staged. The iconic Vegas mainstay offered swanky accommodation at the Palazzo Suites at the Rio Casino as part of her deal to sing at the Caesar’s Palace Colosseum for a reported $1 million a night. The suite was said to be a luxury lodging, with a butler thrown in and the plan was for Adele to spend weekends holed up there...

    At least two people were killed and six wounded after a series of stabbings in front of a casino in Las Vegas on Thursday, officials with the police department said, according to CNN. “The initial stabbing occurs on the sidewalk area. It appears unprovoked. There is no altercation beforehand,” Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Deputy Chief James LaRochelle said. “That stabbing occurs quickly, and then the suspect subsequently goes southbound on the sidewalk area and stabs additional victims.” Three of the victims are in critical condition, police Capt. Dori Koren told reporters. “The others appear to be stable but we...

Las Vegas Metro Police didn’t specify the exact address they were searching or offer any further details of the investigation into Friday’s deadly stabbing.

Authorities are still investigating, the NPS said, adding that "no further information is available at this time." The gripping...
  • Elon Musk's Boring Company will build a 34-mile tunnel network underneath Las Vegas

    The Boring Company's underground transportation system will be more expansive than what it originally planned. The Elon Musk-founded company has just received approval from the city to bring its underground transportation system called the Vegas Loop to city limits.

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Boring Co. President Steve Davis said...

    Fears a Las Vegas strip club tryout would turn into an Astroworld-esque fiasco got officials to shut down the event, and video shows organizers openly worrying they'd end up in the same shoes as Travis Scott. Club Ice is a new strip joint in Vegas, and owners hosted open tryouts for dancers this week at Blume Lounge. We're told more than 1,000 girls signed up to show off their stuff, but interested patrons also showed up in droves to watch the dancers. Problem is, too many people crowded into Blume ... pushing in from the back and squeezing people at...

    Our sources say Red Rock Casino, owned by Station Casinos, was robbed on Nov. 12, 2021. The robbery is believed to have happened between 3:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. on Nov. 12. No one was hurt and we understand the robber, a.k.a. “asshat,” remains at large. Red Rock Casino Resort is in Summerlin, about 15 minutes west of the Las Vegas Strip. We first got wind of the Red Rock casino robbery after a guest saw the casino cage taped off, with significant police activity around the cashier area. Our source says the thief got away with between $60,000 and...

    Renderings have been released of an eye-opening Las Vegas resort that takes the form of a giant moon. Its name? 'Moon', naturally. According to the Canadian entrepreneurs behind it, it would cost £3.6billion ($5billion) to build and, with a height of 224 metres (735ft), would become the joint-second-tallest building in Sin City with the JW Marriott, which is currently the second-loftiest structure behind the 350m- (1,149ft) tall Strat Observation Tower. The celestial retreat – which would be the world's largest sphere - features 4,000 hotel rooms, a 'crater café', a spa, a casino, a lagoon and guests seeking a space-age...

    Mask requirements are popping back up again across the United States following new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance that even vaccinated people should wear masks indoors in public in high-transmission communities. Nevada quickly reinstalled a statewide mask mandate within hours of the CDC’s Tuesday announcement, requiring face coverings be worn indoors in public in counties with “substantial or high transmission” starting Friday. Twelve of Nevada’s 17 counties fit that criteria, the state said. That includes Clark County, home to Las Vegas, where the renewed mandate has raised questions about how it will affect its tourism industry, which had...

    Workers in Las Vegas and other parts of Clark County, Nevada, will have to resume wearing masks indoors but customers will not under new rules. The Clark County Commission voted Tuesday in an emergency meeting to require face coverings for all employees working indoors and around co-workers or members of the public in an increase in Covid cases driven by a more transmissible variant and a slowing vaccination rate.
