Joshua Townsend+FollowLas Vegas pets need urgent homes nowThe Animal Foundation in Las Vegas is bursting at the seams—over 900 pets are packed into a space meant for far fewer, with many dogs and cats now living in pop-up crates.

Aaron Ballard+FollowInside Vegas’ wildest treasure mansionA $2.5 million mansion in Paradise Crest isn’t just a home—it’s a living museum packed with Las Vegas’ lost icons. From an Apollo space capsule to neon signs from legendary casinos, this place is a time capsule of the city’s wildest days, all thanks to the late Lonnie Hammargren. He opened his doors every Nevada Day, letting locals wander through themed rooms crammed with everything from a 60-foot dinosaur to Mayan relics. With celebrities like Nicolas Cage dropping by and TV crews calling it “weird, but not ugly,” this house is pure Vegas. If you could own a piece of local history, would you keep it as-is or start fresh? #RealEstate #LasVegas #LocalHistory00Share
gregorybrown+FollowVegas on a budget? Not anymoreVegas locals and visitors alike are feeling the pinch as the city’s legendary affordability fades away. Rising resort fees, parking charges, and sneaky gaming odds are making it tough for anyone who isn’t a high roller to enjoy the Strip. Add in new federal policies—like higher taxes on gambling winnings and visa fees for tourists—and it’s no wonder hotels are seeing fewer guests and airport traffic is down. It feels like Vegas is turning its back on budget travelers. Has your recent Vegas experience felt more expensive or less fun? What changes would bring the magic back for everyone? #News #LasVegas #TravelCosts6266Share
