Las Vegas approves urban chicken-keeping

Las Vegans may now keep up to 10 chickens in the yard of a single family home as long as their neighbors approve. Residents can keep hens for their eggs, but cannot breed the animals for sale or slaughter. Chickens are required to be kept in a fenced-in area with a run, and coops can’t be located any closer than 20 feet from their neighbors’ homes. Each adjacent property owner to the land where the chickens will be kept must provide their written consent. Some residents approached Councilman Bob Coffin about keeping chickens, and he sponsored the ordinance by request.

Las Vegas casino owner bets $363K on first round of NCAA Tournament

Las Vegas casino owner Derek Stevens inadvertently upped the ante during his second annual NCAA Tournament betting binge. For the second straight year, the owner of the D Las Vegas and Golden Gate wagered $11,000 to win $10,000 on each of the 32 opening lines moments after they were posted Sunday during a live show on VSiN.com. But when the stacks of cash settled into the coffers of the South Point and Golden Nugget sports books, Stevens had actually wagered a total of $363,000 — or $11,000 more than the $352,000 he bet last year. “Last year was kind of tough. I had to make every bet within 10 seconds of being told the line,” he said. “To try to do it by yourself is impossible. This year, we had some of our team come down and they kind of helped me out. And we used two books to get all 32 bets in at a little better number.”

Nevada governments denied many of the Review-Journal’s public record requests…

Southern Nevada competed to become home to Amazon’s second headquarters. But the state’s offerings were kept under wraps. Former state Sen. Mark Manendo sexually harassed more than a dozen women in 2017. The transgressions were documented in a taxpayer-funded investigation. The public paid $67,000 for the report but never got to see it. The RJ seeks government records to make transparent the inner-workings of local and state governments. Most requests are honored. However, some are ignored, denied or met with great resistance.

Las Vegas struck out with Cashman Field pitch to Amazon

To persuade e-commerce giant Amazon to open a new headquarters in the Las Vegas area, state and local governments offered 84 acres of land in downtown Las Vegas. Among the landmarks on the proposed Amazon land: Cashman Field, home of the Las Vegas Lights soccer team; Cashman Center exhibit hall, a library and the former Reed Whipple Cultural Center. The proposal said Amazon would get the 84 acres for free if it met criteria. In January, Amazon released a list of cities the company considers for the second headquarters. Las Vegas didn’t make the list. (Las Vegas Review-Journal)
