The Resort Corridor Court coincided with a rise in court orders banning people from the Strip, which critics say targeted the homeless population. Judges ended the program in 2024. Here's why the casinos want to bring it back: reviewjournal.com/crime/critics-…

Nevada is one of a handful of states without a dram shop law. Experts told me that gaming and entertainment industry interests are why businesses are shielded from liability in DUI crashes, and why lawmakers are unwilling to examine the policy. reviewjournal.com/investigations…

.@BrighamNoble and I worked on this article for months in an attempt to explain why this court program was formed, why it ended, and why there's a push to bring it back. Las Vegas Justice Court data also revealed more about the type of cases that led to order-out orders.

UNLV has removed mention of the Office of Student Diversity Programs and the Undocumented Student Program from its website. UNLV said they have not ended, but the school has started to "restructure" some of its programs. reviewjournal.com/local/educatio…

Seven local judges failed to disclose trips to conservative-backed educational programs in recent years. State law requires the disclosure of gifts and reimbursements so the public knows who judges may be “beholden to,” an ethics expert said. My latest: reviewjournal.com/investigations…

I wrote about how a legal loophole in Nevada allows government retirees to obtain contract work for local governments while still receiving their pension. Local and state agencies have paid at least $3.3 million for these contracts in recent years. reviewjournal.com/investigations…

Now for the mass exodus. The barriers blocking sidewalks is not making it easy to get into the Flamingo right now.

Happy New Year’s Eve, Las Vegas! Some small crowds are starting to form outside Caesars and the Bellagio already. Lots of vendors out and about selling light up hats and glasses. Follow along with the @reviewjournal, there’s a bunch of us reporting out here tonight!
