Here are the top stories today in Las Vegas:

  1. A Las Vegas man, Kirk Mondshour, 44, was arrested last week and facing charges for communicating a bomb threat and making a threatening phone call, according to a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department arrest report. Mondshour is said to have called the hospital 11 times asking to see his wife, while she was in the ICU getting treatment. But when hospital staff informed him he could not, according to police, Mondshour then told a nurse he was "Coming up now, going to (expletive) bomb you all. I want to talk to my wife."
