Derek Stevens, owner of Circa, The Golden Gate and The D, took a big gamble on remaking Downtown Las Vegas. He now has a portfolio of properties worth more than $1 billion—including the world’s largest sportsbook and Sin City’s biggest pool.

A segment of Boulder Highway in the City of Henderson is undergoing a significant transformation as part of the "Reimagine Boulder Highway" project. The $170 million initiative aims to revitalize a seven-and-a-half-mile stretch with new bus lanes, improved lighting, traffic systems, and buffered bike lanes. However, the project has sparked concerns.

Nevada is steeped in historic buildings — from the C. Clifton Young Federal Building and U.S. Courthouse in Reno, to weathered saloons scattered across the state’s former frontier, to the midcentury modern houses of Las Vegas’ Paradise Palms neighborhood.

No matter how much we try to bust Vegas myths, we don’t always succeed. Though we are certain that many repeated Las Vegas stories are baloney, it’s not always so easy to prove it. Part 1 of this series ran last Monday.

The iconic Joker's Wild casino is undergoing significant changes as Boyd Gaming plans to replace it with the new Cadence Crossing.

Let’s play word association. If I said entertainers and Las Vegas, what combinations come to mind? A lot of them, I’m sure. Liberace, certainly. Siegfried and Roy, of course. Wayne Newton? Sure. You might think of other entertainers, or symbols like the showgirl, the production show, or the Cirque show. But you can’t talk about entertainment in Las Vegas without talking about the Rat Pack. And you can’t talk about the Rat Pack without talking about its leader, Frank Sinatra. December 12th marked the centennial of the birth of the chairman of the board.

Another worthy addition to the gambling bookshelf is David G. Schwartz’s Something for Your Money: A History of Las Vegas Casinos. It takes the reader from the sawdust floor of the earliest gambling parlors to the high-roller salons of the new Strip. The Las Vegas story is a well-worn subject, and many tales have been told. But Schwartz brings much new material and the academic rigor that reflects his expertise and stature as UNLV’s ombuds and a history professor. It’s the latest in his growing body of work on a subject that continues to fascinate writers and readers alike.

The Fremont Street Experience is marking a major milestone this weekend, celebrating 30 years since the unveiling of "The Canopy" — what was once the largest LED screen in the world.

MAGA is seeing red over a pink J.Crew sweater for men. A few weeks back, an image of the sweater ― a traditional Fair Isle knit in light pink ― was posted by Juanita Broaddrick, a retired nurse who accused President Bill Clinton of sexual assault in the late ’90s.

Humans have been building cities for centuries, but they don't always last. In some cases, nature has reclaimed them. Other times, people simply built on top of older structures.

Notorious Boston kingpin James “Whitey” Bulger’s reign over the city’s criminal underworld has proven one few gangsters could emulate in real life. But in Hollywood, the high-profile, Irish American mob boss has served as a blueprint for loathsome and complex characters in several blockbuster movies and television story lines. The late Bulger’s astonishing double life as an infamous, ruthless gang leader who simultaneously served as a top-level FBI informant is considered by some to be cinema gold.
