I’m sorry, but the natural tone of Southern Nevada is traffic cone orange.
That’s funny
i cant believe this shooting was over $350/month child support and $2800 in arrears. really? you want to kill the mother of your child and ruin countless lives over that?
DV charges in his past and child-support issues, this is the formula for like two thirds of shootings. The amount of money doesn’t really enter into the equation.
Those poor babies will carry this forever.
Recently, the case of Betty Broderick, who shot and killed her doctor/attorney husband and his new, 28 year old wife Linda (in San Diego) has been all over the news.
Looks like it was their oldest child’s birthday.
The two bystanders who tackled and detained the murderer are true heroes.
Seems optimistic to have pro women’s hockey play at TMobile vs. where the Silver Knights play. The cost to use the TMobile is likely pretty high per game? Anyone have any idea? There are a lot of sports in this town already, not sure this will work. Anyone know how the Silver Knights do financially? They are a farm team for the Golden Knights so they are likely expected to lose money and are in a much smaller arena.
Optimistic, Yes
Pro Teams already here:
– Raiders
– Golden Knights
– Las Vegas Aces
– Las Vegas Athletics
– Las Vegas Aces
– Las Vegas Aviators (Baseball)
– Las Vegas Lights (Soccer)
– Henderson Silver Knights (Hockey)
– Las Vegas Desert Dogs (Lacrosse)
– Vegas Thrill (Volleyball)
Did I miss any?
Do the Las Vegas Aces ever play the Las Vegas Aces?
Smile, yes in practice
The Las Vegas Aces
Vegas Knight Hawks (Indoor Football)
And the yet to be finalized, but almost guaranteed, NBA team.
There has to be a saturation point, but I have no idea where that would be. I am honestly far more skeptical of the A’s ability to sell 2.8M tickets every year than I am of women’s hockey.
I’m not. Hotels will comp tickets. People will come and catch a game as their “show.” It may largely be fans of other teams traveling to Vegas, but with the location of the stadium and the popularity of baseball in certain areas it will do alright. Women’s hockey on the other hand is a different story. It doesn’t have an NHL-funded marketing budget on the scale the WNBA does, there are very few high schools or middle schools that have women’s hockey teams, hockey is less popular in the States in general, etc. Could be an uphill battle. I would expect a huge loss from holding games in T-mobile.
I used to be on the other side of the fence but I agree. I have friends from around the country who have asked if we are getting a season ticket package because they would take the homestand against (the Yankees) (the Red Sox) (the Royals).
I was against the team coming here but if the tickets are cheap I’ll go with my kids. Getting out of the heat for a couple hours will be nice, no matter how bad the baseball is.
I have bad news for you. The tickets will not be cheap. The A’s are the third most expensive franchise to attend in person, behind only the Dodgers and Cubs.

People paying that to go sit in a minor league park, incredible.
People misunderstand the sheer MAGNITUDE of ticket inventory. Let me give a little context. The total season inventory for VGK is around 840k-ish. The A’s have to sell more that THREE TIMES that, including games that are in the middle of the day during the work week. It will be STUNNING if there are more than 14,000 in attendance, on average.
And of course, it doesn’t help to put butts in seats when John Fisher’s business strategy is to sign young talent cheap and let them go at the end of their contracts just as the athlete is about to begin his prime years. This is a franchise, that as long as Fisher owners them, has a ceiling of MAYBE an occasional Wild Card win and ALDS appearance. MAYBE. The baseball fans in the town already have their own teams (unlike when hockey arrived). The most popular team in LV, by far, is the Dodgers. Why would a Dodgers fan take any interest in the A’s? Dodger ownership is exactly the opposite of John Fisher. They invest to win.
Lifelong Yankees fan here, plan to attend at least 2 home games monthly once stadium is built. I will go for the love of the game – I cannot be the only one in Las Vegas with that mindset, even a little bit.
Nevada Supreme Court is issuing a published decision today on whether the new statute regarding IMEs is constitutional. Petition for Writ of Mandamus was filed by Polsenberg. Amicus brief by Lowry. It was granted in part and denied in part. The decision is not yet available from the NV S Ct website.
Nothing is available from the Supreme Court website this morning
Weird. It appears that the case has vanished from the Forthcoming Opinions portion of the website. However, I know that the decision has already been handed down.
They take it off forthcoming decisions once the advanced opinion has been uploaded. Sometimes it takes them longer to get around to deleting it from forthcoming opinions and sometimes they do it very quickly. This particular decision is on the front page now.

The result was foreordained, of course – those of us who read my Legal Note will have seen this coming several years ago. This Court holds its NRCP rulemaking authority with the proprietary zeal of a feudal barony, which is not entirely a bad thing (a position I have defended for decades, including in a 2018 FLEXCOM memorandum and at the 2021 CLE on this topic). NRS 52.380 was, at minimum, a hybrid: procedural in form, substantive in character. Reasonable minds may disagree, though I struggle to identify any. A narrower as-applied disposition was available; the Court did not take it; the Court rarely takes the narrower path; the Court is, in this sense, our most consistent institution. Polsenberg ran the table, as he tends to – one does wonder what the result might have been with different counsel, though I shall not speculate. Had this been a family law matter, the analysis would have been textured rather than absolutist; the line between procedural and substantive blurs constantly in our domestic relations work, and one becomes accustomed to operating on both sides of it. The civil bar, I fear, has lost some of that nuance. I shall reserve fuller treatment for a future Note. Vote, as ever, with care.
