👟 Traffic Alerts for Rock ‘N’ Roll Las Vegas Marathon Weekend
The annual Rock ‘N’ Roll Las Vegas Marathon is set to take place this weekend, bringing with it a series of road closures both on the Strip and downtown. The event is divided into two days of races: a 5K run in downtown Las Vegas on Saturday and a 10K along with a half marathon on Sunday, impacting various streets and causing temporary road closures.
Saturday's Road Closures for the 5K Race:
Location: Downtown Las Vegas, starting at Bridger Avenue and 4th Street.
Time: Race starts at 5 p.m., with road closures beginning at 8 a.m. and ending by 11 p.m.
Areas Affected: Las Vegas Boulevard (between Ogden and Hover avenues), Fremont Street, Carson Avenue, and Garces Avenue, with rolling road closures and specific times detailed for certain sections.
Sunday's Road Closures for the 10K and Half Marathon:
Start Point: Tropicana and Las Vegas Boulevard at 4:30 p.m., with a four-hour race completion limit.
Closures Throughout the Day: Various closures on Las Vegas Boulevard and surrounding areas, from early morning until late at night or early Monday morning. This includes specific closures for staging areas, with a detailed list of timings for different sections of the road and associated I-15 ramp closures.
These races will not only bring excitement and energy to the city but also significant traffic alterations. Residents and visitors are advised to plan their travel accordingly during the marathon weekend to avoid delays and navigate the closures smoothly.
🎰 Nevada Gaming Commission Streamlines Reporting on Casino Independent Agents
The Nevada Gaming Commission has unanimously approved amendments to Regulation 25, simplifying the reporting process for casinos regarding independent agents who recruit high rollers. Previously required to submit annual reports to the Gaming Control Board, casinos will now maintain records for inspection during audits, significantly reducing regulatory paperwork. This adjustment aims to streamline operations and allow casinos to focus on attracting big spenders without the administrative burden of detailed periodic reporting.
Diane Presson, a Control Board supervisor, noted that over 300 agents globally are registered to bring high rollers to Nevada's casinos, with some representing multiple resorts. The move reflects a broader effort to ease business operations within the state's gaming industry, focusing on efficiency and practicality in oversight.
Under the new regulation, casinos are tasked with documenting the tenure, compensation, and contractual details of independent agents, retaining files for five years for potential review. This change addresses previous concerns about the timing of report submissions, which coincided with peak periods for attracting high rollers during events like the Super Bowl and Lunar New Year.
The regulation amendment represents a shift towards more trust-based oversight, with registered agents spared from the rigor of suitability investigations unless specific issues prompt review by board investigators. This policy update is seen as a balanced approach to maintaining regulatory standards while acknowledging the operational realities of casino marketing efforts.
🏒 Golden Knights Suffer Heavy Loss to Maple Leafs Amid Injury Crisis
The Vegas Golden Knights faced a severe setback, succumbing to a 7-3 defeat against the Toronto Maple Leafs at T-Mobile Arena. The game, which saw a season-high seven goals allowed by the Knights, was marred by the team's inability to capitalize on chances and a noticeable lack of effort, execution, and discipline at various points. Coach Bruce Cassidy's pre-game emphasis on defense and goaltending in light of the team's injury woes did not translate into performance, leading to the Knights' fourth consecutive home loss and exacerbating their struggle for playoff positioning.
The Maple Leafs dominated from the start, with a 4-0 lead in the first period alone, prompting a goalie change from Adin Hill to Logan Thompson. Despite a slightly improved performance in the third period, the damage was done, leaving the Knights to reflect on a missed opportunity to secure crucial points in the tight race for the playoffs.
The Knights are grappling with significant injuries, with key players like Mark Stone, Jack Eichel, William Carrier, Pavel Dorofeyev, and Brett Howden sidelined. This situation underscores the necessity for other players to elevate their game and assume leadership roles, a challenge that Cassidy acknowledges and hopes his team can meet.
As the Knights embark on an upcoming five-game road trip, they face the dual challenge of improving their game and navigating through their injury crisis, with the ultimate goal of entering the playoffs in a strong position.
🦹♂️ Trial Date Set for Teens Charged in Fatal Beating of Rancho High Student
A Las Vegas judge has scheduled an April 1 trial for four teenagers charged as adults in the death of Jonathan Lewis, a 17-year-old Rancho High School student. Damien Hernandez, 18; Dontral Beaver, 16; Gianni Robinson, 17; and Treavion Randolph, 16, face second-degree murder and conspiracy to commit battery charges following their indictment over a month ago. These four are part of a group of nine teenagers implicated in the November attack near Rancho High School, which resulted in Lewis's death.
The incident, captured on video, showed a violent altercation where Lewis was beaten by up to 10 teenagers, leading to his fatal injuries. Initial confrontations, including Lewis pushing a student and engaging in a physical fight, were also recorded on surveillance and cell phone footage. Despite claims of prior disputes over a stolen vape pen, defense attorneys argue that the evidence against their clients for murder and conspiracy charges is insufficient.
As the legal proceedings advance, four other juveniles have already admitted to voluntary manslaughter in juvenile court, receiving sentences of detainment. Another teenager's case remains in juvenile court pending a mental health evaluation. The upcoming trial and preceding court dates will further address the charges and the defendants' roles in this tragic incident.
