Red Rock’s Fee Hike, a Shooting Victim’s Lawsuit, and Vegas In Memoriam
It’s Friday (hooray!) which means that we’re getting into this week’s news: Today, Sonja, Dayvid, and Scott dig into the tough topic of the Chinatown shooting victim’s lawsuit (and why he’s going after a bail nonprofit), and the Red Rock fee hikes and who gets priced out of the outdoors. Plus, we take a look back at the notable Las Vegans who’ve passed on this year, and what they meant to our city.
Find out more about Blairfest events here, and check out KNPR’s feature on this musical tribute festival.
