🏒 Golden Knights Face Lineup Decisions as Playoffs Approach
The Golden Knights are navigating a challenging yet positive situation as they approach the playoffs with an almost fully healthy roster, presenting coach Bruce Cassidy with tough lineup decisions. With only six games left in the regular season, managing the roster becomes a crucial task, especially after strengthening the team at the NHL trade deadline by adding defenseman Noah Hanifin and forwards Anthony Mantha and Tomas Hertl, without losing any players from the previous Stanley Cup run. Mantha has seamlessly fit into the team, contributing significantly in recent games, while Hanifin has quickly become a key defenseman. The team is awaiting the debut of Hertl, who has been recovering from knee surgery, potentially affecting lineup decisions further, especially with the pending return of players like William Carrier and captain Mark Stone. Despite these roster complexities, the Knights are on the brink of securing a playoff spot, needing only a few points in their remaining games to officially clinch. Cassidy emphasizes the importance of team depth and the need for players to stay prepared and professional, regardless of their status in the lineup.
🎰 The Mirage's Next Chapter: From Iconic Volcano to Hard Rock Hotel
The Tropicana, one of the Las Vegas Strip’s historic gaming establishments, recently said goodbye to the public as it begins its transformation. Next in line for a major makeover is The Mirage, a property deeply rooted in Las Vegas history as the Strip’s first megaresort, known for its many industry firsts. Opened in 1989 by Steve Wynn, The Mirage was the first casino financed through Wall Street junk bonds and the first to feature onsite wildlife habitats and an exterior entertainment attraction – the iconic volcanic eruption.
In 2021, MGM sold The Mirage to Hard Rock International, owned by the Seminole Indian Tribe, for $1.08 billion. Plans include changing The Mirage's name to Hard Rock Las Vegas and replacing the volcano with a guitar-shaped hotel tower, marking another significant shift on the Strip.
Local analysts and professors note that while there's a sense of loss with The Mirage’s transformation, it represents Las Vegas's continuous evolution. The Mirage's renovation and preservation are seen as crucial for maintaining its legacy, highlighting Las Vegas's ability to reinvent itself while welcoming new opportunities for growth, such as the inclusion of tribal gaming enterprises on the Strip.
🦹♀️ Las Vegas Street Race Crash Claims Two Teen Lives; Suspect Arrested
Jacob Michael Ybarra, involved in an alleged street race that resulted in a fatal crash killing two teenagers last month in Las Vegas, was arrested and charged with reckless driving and failing to stop at a crash site. The incident, which occurred late on March 1, involved Ybarra allegedly racing against a 2008 Ford Crown Victoria driven by 16-year-old David Gomez-Mojarro with passenger Jovan Barrios, 17, both of whom died at the scene. Despite Ybarra's claims of not racing but merely driving alongside the teenagers, police allege the vehicles were traveling at about 75 mph in a 35 mph zone when the Ford collided with a pickup truck and crashed into a light pole. Captured on video, Ybarra is seen fleeing the scene immediately after the accident. Released on $100,000 bail with high-level monitoring and barred from driving, Ybarra's next court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday.
