Working Stiff

Around 100 million years ago, several thrust plates pushed up out of an ancient sea and created the foundation of the Spring Mountains. That rupture lifted limestone from roughly 300 million years ago into the sky, forming what Dr. Steve Rowland from UNLV calls “a classic Monte Cristo formation.” The limestone on these sheer faces of Mummy Mountain is full of fossils from a world older than the dinosaurs. All of that limestone we hike across and climb on was made from the remains of marine creatures that lived so deep in old earth’s time that the mountains themselves had not yet been imagined.

Hello No action was taken on multiple reports. I’m not gonna have this hotel take heat because every Marriott needs to be looked at from maintenance to housekeeping and leadership is at fault. Thank you for replying. I’m saddened. I’m going to have to start looking at other hotels. Independent hotels because I can no longer count on Marriott to be a good brand.

@metalmax7541 Hello, thanks for connecting with us. We're sorry to hear of any frustration. We'd be happy to document for hotel management's further review. Please DM the full name on the reservation, dates of stay, confirmation number, email on file, and any additional information.

As a Lifetime Titanium Elite, I’ve stayed through it all, but the decline in @MarriottBonvoy standards is impossible to ignore. From Courtyard to Autograph Collection, housekeeping and maintenance have gone pear-shaped. It’s time to prioritize basic room quality across all brands. #Marriott #CustomerService checking into a room with a dirty comforter stains all over it. It’s just the latest example. This is a brand problem.

@ApacheUSCLV @LasVegasLocally Joe has vetoed some amazing legislation that even got by partisan support especially SB10 for housing.

Gas is at $5/gallon in Nevada. In 2025, Aaron Ford introduced AB44 — a bill to criminalize corporate price manipulation on essential goods: 🛾 Gas 🏠 Rent 🍞 Food 💊 Medicine 📶 Internet The bill specifically targeted corporations using SECRET ALGORITHMS to collude on prices — the same way RealPage was caught fixing Nevada rents. It passed the Assembly 24-18. It passed the Senate 14-7. Joe Lombardo vetoed it in June 2025. Called protecting Nevadans from corporate price cheating "government overreach." Then blamed California for high gas prices. He killed the only tool that could have prosecuted the corporations gouging you.

Las Vegas regular gas is averaging $5.22 a gallon. Exactly one year ago it was $3.78. The all-time record is $5.61.

“Somebody Save Me” - Cinderella

Nothing hits like a UK 12” single at 45 RPM. 🇬🇧 Currently blasted “Too Late for Love” and “Photograph.” The clarity and bottom end on these British pressings make the standard LPs sound like a radio edit. If you haven’t heard Leppard like this, you haven’t heard them. I am stunned! 🤘#DefLeppard #NowSpinning #VertigoRecords #VinylAddict #VinylCollection

Like a scene straight out of a movie Golden Tempo goes from DEAD LAST to FIRST PLACE Incredible.

From the Friends of LV SAR: “On Friday, May 1st, 2026, at approximately 11am, SAR personnel aboard AIR1 conducted a rescue operation in Pine Creek. A hiker sustained injuries after taking a 20-30 foot fall. SAR personnel were inserted via hoist to the scene. The victim was assessed for their head, neck and knee injuries and packaged into a helitack hotseat. AIR1 returned to the scene and extracted the SAR personnel and victim. They were then transported to the BLM Helipad and transferred to ground ambulance and subsequently transported a local hospital.”

The big question is not Spirit Airlines shutting down. The concern we all have is ... which airline do their customers start flying on next.

Mötley Crüe - ‘Knock ‘Em Dead Kid’….take this live performance from 1983. Things used to be different for Crüe way back when compared to now…

35 YEARS AGO TODAY 🐐 Michael Jordan did this to Patrick Ewing! MJ also considers this his favorite dunk Magic Johnson's commentary

Richie F***ing Sambora. Last Night!

When Luxor opened, there were talking camels.

United buying Spirit would be an absolute boss move. ✈️ As a business traveler, I prioritize direct routes and last-minute flexibility over loyalty. Currently, United lacks the agility and reach into up-and-coming U.S. markets. Swallowing Spirit’s network would be a total game-changer. I could then remain loyal to one airline. #Aviation #UnitedAirlines #BusinessTravel @united

"To give you a sign of the desperate measures [Iran is] contemplating, the Wall Street Journal reported today that they're contemplating suicide dolphins, you know, dolphins equipped with mines to try to go after U.S. ships," @ksadjadpour says. "That's not a that's not a measure which projects real strength."

@vegasstarfish That is a waste of money. So LVCVA focused on an Uber experience what a joke. I saw that for the first time as I’m a local and I Uber to the airport and Uber back home in a rare occasion, and I just feel shaking my head when I saw that.

I wonder who is approving the marketing and advertising plans for the Las Vegas Convention & Visitors Association, (LVCVA) because their ideas are consistently expensive and tone deaf. In five years of daily interaction with people planning a vacation here, not once has someone said they wish our airport had disco ball features. I do hear regularly from would be guests who want free parking, low or no resort fees, free bottled water & coffee. Our visitors want to have a great experience they can afford. Selfie walls should be second to that. #vegas #lasvegas #vegasstarfish #travel #vacations

this movie is perfect.

Guns N’Roses, 5 years before being officially released on Use Your Illusion I, heres ‘Back Off Bitch’ At the Whiskey A Go Go, on 1986. When the time is right people…

In Casino, apparently this scene, the Blackjack scene, took the longest to film because the extras couldn’t stop laughing at Pesci.
