This is a day that will be embedded in American history — when President Biden dropped out of the 2024 race for the White House. "No president has stepped out of the race this late. Lyndon Johnson and Harry Truman both did it fairly early in comparison.” Michael Green, Ph.D. — a professor and chair of UNLV’s history department — said a president giving up his shot at re-election this close to November is historically unusual. However, not having an established nominee at this point is not.

Ever hear the old adage that time flies when you’re having fun? A new study by a team of UNLV researchers suggests that there’s a lot of truth to the trope.

A recent rat-brain study offers insight into how the brain tells time, and its lead researcher believes the findings have practical applications for how we can cope with unpleasant things in life, or make the most of a good time.

Time is relative, and not only in an astrophysical sense – we’re all familiar with that feeling that time drags when we’re bored and flies when we’re busy. New analysis of brain activity patterns shows how our brains track time, and some intriguing insights into how cells handle it.

Scores of swimmers waded past a drowning woman as she clung to a pool railing because they had no idea she was in trouble, a psychologist believes. Leticia Gonzales Triplett, 58, died on the morning of February 4 in the North Decatur Las Vegas Athletic Club's swimming pool.

Former President Donald Trump took the stage Thursday during the Republican National Convention, and for 26 minutes of his 92-minute-long speech, he spoke of uniting our deeply divided country. But while some pundits have argued his speech showed he is more subdued and humble in the wake of last week's failed assassination attempt against him, others aren't so sure he's changed at all. And some political scientists and experts on authoritarianism warn Trump could become even more radical after his near-death experience.

Time flies when you're having fun. A new study from the University of Nevada (UNLV), Las Vegas, published in the journal Current Biology, explains what happens to our brains in these cases . Many people think that their  brains  are intrinsically synchronized with the artificial clocks we have on electronic devices , which mark the passage of time minute by minute.

The political fallout continues Thursday following Joe Biden's COVID diagnosis which has led to more calls for him to step aside as the Democratic nominee for president.

Ever hear the old adage that time flies when you're having fun? A new study by a team of UNLV researchers suggests that there's a lot of truth to the trope. Many people think of their brains as being intrinsically synced to the man-made clocks on their electronic devices, counting time in very specific, minute-by-minute increments. But the study, published this month in the latest issue of the peer-reviewed Cell Press journal Current Biology, showed that our brains don't work that way.

The Shag Room, with its Moroccan theme, is a throwback to another era in Las Vegas when intimate casino lounge venues kick-started a night of entertainment. On Wednesday nights, the lounge’s open mic supports four hours of singers from country to rock to pop rap and R&B, with no cover charge or drink minimum.
