Today's riddle: What has a tail, but no body? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. East Las Vegas residents want more grocery stores as development continues (ktnv.com) — East Las Vegas residents say rapid redevelopment on their side of town still hasn't brought enough full-service grocery stores or healthy food options close to home. As new housing, a police substation and a future fire training center move forward, neighbors are pressing city leaders and developers to ensure Ward 3's "Future East Las Vegas" plan delivers better food access, not just more construction.
2. 9 years later: 1 October Sunrise Remembrance ceremony to honor victims of Las Vegas shooting (8newsnow.com) — Las Vegas residents are invited to a 1 October Sunrise Remembrance ceremony at 7:30 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 1 at the Clark County Government Center Amphitheater downtown, honoring victims of the 2017 Strip shooting. Local leaders will speak, the event will be broadcast online and on CCTV, and attendees can visit a special "Remembering 1 October" exhibit at the Government Center afterward.
3. Las Vegas tourists, experts weigh AI takeover fears as technology advances (news3lv.com) — Las Vegas residents, tourists, and cybersecurity experts are voicing concerns about how advancing artificial intelligence could affect local jobs, casinos, and even critical infrastructure like Lake Mead's water pumps. Local specialists warn that AI-driven cyberattacks could target major gaming companies and essential systems, urging stronger safeguards and more transparency from lawmakers to protect people living and working in Las Vegas.
4. Las Vegas may have seen its final 100-degree day of 2026 (reviewjournal.com) — Las Vegas may have logged its final 100-degree day of 2026, with temperatures expected to ease into the mid-to-upper 90s this week after a record-warm August. Forecasters at the National Weather Service in Las Vegas still caution that a stubborn high-pressure system could briefly push readings back near triple digits, capping a summer of notable heat and very weak monsoon rains.
5. Waymo Starts Las Vegas Robotaxi Operations With Autonomous Rides—Is Availability Limited? (itechpost.com) — Waymo has launched paid driverless rides in Las Vegas, initially covering a 24-mile zone centered on the Strip and approved by the Nevada Transportation Authority. Locals and visitors can hail these autonomous minivans via the Waymo app, with full in-car controls, as the company plans to expand service across more of Clark County over time.
