If you were in Las Vegas last year, odds are you were inconvenienced by the Formula 1 Grand Prix in some way. Now, local business owners are leading the charge to try and hold F1 and the county accountable for financial losses caused by the event and construction: The owner of Ellis Island is the first to file an actual lawsuit, but more businesses are expected to follow. Also, a controversial campaign ad triggers an ethics complaint for the district attorney, and an art exhibit focuses on the Goodmans' legacy. Co-hosts Sarah Lohman and Dayvid Figler are joined by artist and writer Vogue Robinson to break down this week’s headlines.
