@_GrandPaD That's my dad brother standing behind him playing pit boss. Isadore "Irish" Figler was also a Big Wheel dealer at Caesars + was cast in that role on the spot. He was so funny, so the story goes, they bumped him up to a speaking role and he earned a SAG card. Never in another film

Serious question: do you wonder why there isn't even a discussion of either convincing Stations, or the City of NLV looking at legal options, to turn the dormant rooms and kitchens into a temporary shelter for the unhoused during this brutal summer? Not even a discussion?

@RalstonReports @joeygilbertinc It's not funny. It's fucking terrifying because I think it's earnest. And if that's the case...if ANY fellow citizens (especially those vulnerable because of mental illness) buy into this ... it's highly highly problematic and maybe dangerous. I don't know how else to take this.

Tropicana has 1500 rooms. Appreciating the A's and Nevada Resort Assoc are claiming they're dedicated to battling homelessness with $$, but why not cut out the middlemen? Turn the hotel into a supportive housing facility and build permanent housing on the rest of the 35 acres!

Reminder that the judge didn't rule on ANY of the merits of the case. Didn't say the "fake electors" were justified in their actions, or that what they did wasn't unlawful. The judge made a straight ruling on jurisdiction. Said Southern Nevada was NOT the right venue. That's all

TFW people get apoplectic about a speakeasy haircut but nary a peep about defrauding charities, running a scam university, profiting off public office, misusing bankruptcy to wipe out small business subs, fostering divisivness and actively seeding mistrust in elections, etc.

Tomorrow is the 1st legislative hearing to repeal of the death penalty. I plan to testify about how it's overwhelming misused in Clark County. Sadly, this discussion won't encompass how many OTHER penalties are misused especially against BIPOC for decades in Nevada. ( 🧵)

The ongoing fight that keeps Las Vegas (the City) from ever growing up. The City and County have rarely worked together to solve issues of mutual interest. Homelessness, affordable housing, policing, education...all suffer under this 70 year old blood feud.

The unincorporated township of Paradise City, NV was formed on Dec 8, 1950 mostly to prevent annexation of the Las Vegas Strip by the City of Las Vegas. As most know, the Las Vegas Strip is not technically in Las Vegas.

So much to unpack from the Danzig Does Elvis show at the declining Tropicana hotel. Bottom line...quasi amazing and that's without even mentioning we sat next to Fred Armisen and Chino Moreno. Stories soon about the show + hotel! Oh, Vegas. You never disappoint.

It's not funny. Love him or hate him (the only two options I'm told), @RalstonReports and the @TheNVIndy are keeping the flame of truth and integrity of elections in the face of a concerted effort by bad actors to undermine it for bad ends. They are our firewall....

Those who know me will tell you I enjoy the game of politics as well as anyone and have for 35 years. But Trump and his lackeys undermining the faith in elections is not funny. It's dangerous. I hope NV officials stand up for the integrity of the process. It matters. #WeMatter

@forstall_ @Nerd4Cities @CityCastVegas Um, did you listen to the episode? Also, do you really wanna troll Ray on facts and math? He's pretty pretty great at it. Of course, @CityCastVegas is always looking for engaging experts who can talk about Vegas planning issues. Any suggestions?

A leader urging mask usage and to stay at least 6 feet from each other while refusing to wear a mask and standing within a foot of 6 people is like a health teacher demonstrating safe sex by having a bareback orgy with a bunch of random I.V. meth addicts fresh from Coachella.

Will Nevada legislature EVER stop conflating sex work with human trafficking and exploitation. Every session we see more and more movement to criminalize (harshly) any party involved in sex work saying ...oh no, trust law enforcement they'll only use this to go after bad people.
