This December, the world’s entertainment capital will host an extraordinary celebration of film, art, and culture. From December 6-8, 2024, the inaugural "Best of Cinema+Art+Culture" (BCAC) festival will take center stage at the UNLV Department of Film. This premier event will spotlight award-winning creators and works, solidifying its place as the ultimate showcase of excellence in these fields.

Take a walk on UNLV’s campus and you might see a knee-high white box on wheels branded with an orange Grubhub logo. The robots speed among students and faculty making their way across campus on a food run to a hungry recipient. These robots from Starship Technologies have made UNLV home for the past two years, but their food deliveries are limited to the university’s boundaries.

Clark County Commissioners passed an ordinance Tuesday that will allow food delivery robots to roam on public streets around UNLV’s campus. The robots are operated through the company “Starship,” and so far, they’ve only traveled on campus. They’ve made 3,300 deliveries in the past two years since launching.

The U.S. is in the midst of the largest COVID-19 wave we’ve seen since July 2022, according to CDC data.

UNLV’s programs are just a few of many efforts underway in Nevada to combat persistent teacher shortages, a statewide strategy that also includes pay raises of 18 percent or more and recruiting teachers from outside of the country’s borders.

Vice President Kamala Harris told supporters in Nevada she supported eliminating taxes on tips during a campaign rally speech. Francine Lipman, a tax law professor at UNLV's William S. Boyd School of Law, discusses why she doesn't believe cutting taxes on tips would help service workers.

The Clark County Commission voted Tuesday to expand the range personal delivery robots at UNLV may operate in to include nearby public sidewalks. The white pod robots from Starship Technologies and Grubhub may now deliver food from on-campus establishments to students living in nearby off-campus housing. The robots were previously restricted to university property.

Clark County commissioners unanimously voted to expand UNLV's automated food delivery services to extend beyond campus. While the service is convenient, many safety advocates brought up concerns with what the technology could bring to the neighboring campus community.

For many influencers who make content as a career, chasing down followers and sponsorships takes precedent over painting a nuanced picture of a destination. They need to keep up appearances – and promote their brand – even at the expense of a destination’s quality of life.
