This Funeral Home Had ONE Job. Plus, the National Guard Aids ICE and the Golden Gate Nixes Live Table Games
Governor Lombardo has just announced that the Nevada National Guard will be supporting ICE — albeit with "paperwork," not boots on the ground — so how does this play into the political chess between GOP state governors and the Trump administration? Plus, a local funeral home was discovered with uncremated bodies, some stored for up to 10 months, and the Golden Gate Casino, the oldest casino in Las Vegas, does away with live table games. Co-hosts Sarah Lohman and Dayvid Figler sit down with Andrew Kiraly, creator of TheList.Vegas, to discuss what this all means.
