If you struggle with a fear of flying, due to unexplained sounds on planes or other reasons, you are certainly not alone.

All eyes are on the Sphere this weekend, as the one-of-a-kind event and entertainment venue — which has garnered worldwide attention for its unique architectural and technological design — celebrates its grand opening in Las Vegas.

A pair of top executive branch officials left Nevada earlier this week, potentially leaving no formal acting governor as required by state law.

This week, Culinary Union workers voted to authorize a strike. The bartenders union did the same. The teacher’s union contract dispute with the school district is now in the hands of an arbitrator.

Workers across the country have taken to walkouts and strikes to demand better wages and working conditions. Las Vegas hospitality workers could be the next to join.

The programme was delivered by responsible gaming expert Prof. Bo J. Bernhard, vice president of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas’ (UNLV) Office of Economic Development, sharing insights on responsible gaming knowledge and his experience from the US.

While the technological marvels of the Sphere have dazzled tourists and locals, UNLV Professor Glenn Nowak sees the building that opens its doors Friday from a different perspective.

Claytee White, historian and director of UNLV’s Oral History Research Center, mentioned the Historic Westside’s resiliency and long-lasting legacy.
