Hovenweep National Monument makes a fine fall getaway

Typically balmy autumn days in the Southwest invite vacationing Southern Nevadans to explore scenic and historic regions such as the Four Corners area of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah.

The little town 115 miles from Las Vegas on U.S. 95 schedules family-style events and entertainment reminiscent of celebrations during Beatty’s early years more than a century ago.

Binion movie paints sympathetic portrait of Sandy Murphy

If there’s one thing wrong with TV — other than the fact that there’s still not a Tina Fey Channel — it’s this: My attention span has been obliterated. Seriously, sometimes I’ll just trail off in the middle of a …
