Cassandra Snyder+FollowPuppy sales stir debate in Las VegasA Las Vegas vet is facing heat for selling Labrador puppies without a breeder’s permit—right after Clark County hiked fines for unlicensed breeding. The pups, offered at $1,800 each, were promoted to clients as “adoptions,” but animal advocates say this is exactly what new rules are meant to stop. With local shelters overwhelmed and euthanizing animals to make space, many are questioning whether even vets should be exempt from the law. Should personal pets be bred for profit, or is this a wake-up call for stricter enforcement? #Pets #LasVegas #AnimalWelfare00Share

Faith Jackson+FollowHow Binion’s Horseshoe changed Vegas foreverLas Vegas wouldn’t be the same without the bold moves made by Binion’s Horseshoe back in 1951. Imagine walking into a casino with plush carpeting instead of sawdust floors, and getting free drinks or meals even if you weren’t a high roller. That’s the kind of game-changing hospitality Benny Binion brought to the Strip. He also raised table limits sky-high, making big bets possible for anyone. Plus, the World Series of Poker got its start right here. It’s wild to think how much of today’s Vegas vibe traces back to this one spot.

TwilightTurtle+FollowLas Vegas teachers push for fair payLongtime Las Vegas teachers are speaking out after discovering that some new hires are earning more than seasoned educators. The Clark County School District is now reviewing how veteran teachers are placed on the pay scale, aiming to fix these pay gaps.

For many teachers, this is about more than money—it’s about feeling valued for years of dedication. How do you think pay equity should be handled in our schools? #Education #K12 #LasVegas00Share
