Nevada Pharmacies Unable to Offer New COVID-19 Vaccines Pending Federal Recommendation

Posted by oshv — Thu, 4 Sep 2025 11:22 GMT

Nevada pharmacies are currently unable to administer the newly authorized COVID-19 vaccines due to state regulations requiring a federal health agency recommendation, which has not yet been issued. When customers attempt to schedule a COVID-19 vaccination appointment at major pharmacies like CVS, Walgreens, or grocery store pharmacies, they are met with notifications that the service is unavailable or find that the COVID-19 vaccine option is missing entirely.According to CVS, this restriction also applies to pharmacies in Massachusetts and New Mexico. These states require a recommendation from the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), which works under the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), before pharmacies can begin distributing the new vaccine. The FDA recently authorized four different COVID-19 vaccines for the 2025-2026 season, but only for certain populations: those aged 65 and older, and people with underlying conditions starting at six months of age, depending on the formula. Previously, vaccines were approved for all age groups.The ACIP is scheduled to meet on September 18-19 and is expected to discuss recommendations for the COVID-19 vaccine. Until ACIP issues its guidance, pharmacies in Nevada, New Mexico, and Massachusetts are unable to administer the latest COVID-19 vaccines, despite FDA authorization for certain groups.The Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD) confirmed that the updated vaccine is not available at its clinics, though the previous formula remains in stock. SNHD operates three clinics in East Las Vegas, Henderson, and Mesquite, and has stated its commitment to providing COVID-19 vaccines to eligible individuals, including those 65 and older and people with underlying health conditions that increase their risk for severe illness.

Saturday's Powerball Jackpot Soars to 1.7 Billion After 41 Drawings Without a Winner

Posted by oshv — Thu, 4 Sep 2025 11:10 GMT

The Powerball jackpot has surged to $1.7 billion after no ticket matched all six numbers in Wednesday's drawing. The numbers drawn were 3, 16, 29, 61, 69 and Powerball 22. Two tickets sold in California matched the five main numbers, each winning $984,594, but missed the Powerball.There have now been 41 consecutive drawings without a grand prize winner since May 31. The next drawing is scheduled for Saturday night, with the jackpot expected to be the third-largest in U.S. lottery history.Powerball's odds of winning the jackpot stand at 1 in 292.2 million, a design intended to create massive prizes as drawings roll over. Smaller prizes, however, have significantly better odds. Powerball drawings are held three times a week.If a winner had matched all six numbers Wednesday, the estimated $1.4 billion prize would have been paid out as an annuity in 30 payments over 29 years. Most winners opt for the lump sum, which for Wednesday's drawing would have been about $634.3 million.Powerball tickets are sold in 45 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Nevada does not offer Powerball due to a constitutional ban, but hopeful players often travel to neighboring states, such as California, to buy tickets. Popular stops include The Lotto Store just over the California border, where many Nevadans purchase their tickets.

Federal Judge Halts Clark County's Airbnb Regulations Amid Legal Battle

Posted by oshv — Sat, 30 Aug 2025 11:21 GMT

A federal judge has temporarily blocked new rules in Clark County regarding short-term rental listings on platforms like Airbnb, pending the outcome of a federal lawsuit. The ruling was based on a preliminary injunction that favors the plaintiffs, who argued that the county's regulations violate Section 230, which provides limited immunity to online platforms. The new regulations would have required platforms to monitor and verify listings for compliance with county licensing rules and imposed fines for non-compliance.The lawsuit was filed by the Greater Las Vegas Short-Term Rental Association and Airbnb, challenging the county's licensing rules as overly restrictive and inconsistent with Nevada state law that permits the short-term rental model. The county's rules include a cap on licenses, separation requirements between rentals, and a lottery process for issuing licenses, which the plaintiffs argue is too burdensome and effectively bans most short-term rentals.Airbnb praised the court's decision as a significant victory for Nevada residents, indicating their ongoing battle against the county's restrictions. The county, on the other hand, is reviewing the court order and has not yet commented on the ruling's implications. The lawsuit highlights the tension between local regulations and the interests of short-term rental operators, with the association representing 856 homeowners in their challenge against the county's approach.

Las Vegas Visitor Decline Offset by Rising Gambling Revenue and Optimism

Posted by oshv — Sat, 30 Aug 2025 11:19 GMT

Las Vegas experienced a notable decline in visitor numbers last month, dropping 12% year-over-year, with nearly 3.1 million visitors compared to 3.5 million in July 2024. This decline in visitation did not affect gambling revenue, which increased compared to last year. The Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) reported a year-to-date visitor volume decrease of 8%, from 24.6 million to 22.6 million.Despite the downturn, LVCVA President and CEO Steve Hill expressed optimism about Las Vegas's future, asserting confidence in the city's resilience. The city has faced challenges, including reduced international tourism, with Canadian airline traffic down 18% and flights from Mexico and the UK each down 9%.Hotel occupancy in July was 76.1%, a 7.6% decrease, and the average daily room rate fell from $160 to $155. However, Las Vegas still boasts the highest hotel occupancy rate in the U.S. at 81.1% through July. Factors like politics, consumer dissatisfaction, and perceptions about the declining value of a Las Vegas vacation have uniquely impacted 2025's summer visitation.On a positive note, the Nevada Gaming Control Board reported a 4% statewide increase in gambling revenue in July, totaling $1.36 billion. The Las Vegas Strip generated over $749 million, a 5.6% year-over-year increase, largely driven by a significant rise in baccarat winnings. Downtown casinos also saw a 3.6% increase, earning over $74.4 million.Clark County's gaming revenue hit over $1.15 billion, marking a 3.2% increase from July 2024. Additionally, year-to-date gaming revenue for Nevada and the Strip rose slightly by 0.93% and 0.16%, respectively. This trend of rising gambling revenue amid declining visitation continued for the second consecutive month.

The team announced it will play two three-game series: one against the Milwaukee Brewers from June 8 to 10 and another against the Colorado Rockies from June 12 to 14. These games mark the first regular-season appearances for the A's in Las Vegas, where they are building a $2 billion stadium expected to open for the 2028 season. This new venue is being constructed at the southeast corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Tropicana Avenue, with significant progress anticipated by next summer.A's President Marc Badain noted the increased significance of these games compared to prior spring training matches held at the ballpark, emphasizing the community's excitement to see the full roster in action.

Southwest Airlines Updates Seating Policy for Plus-Sized Passengers

Posted by oshv — Tue, 26 Aug 2025 11:04 GMT

Southwest Airlines is modifying its policy regarding passengers who require more than one seat. Starting January 27, passengers who cannot fit into a single seat will need to purchase a second adjacent seat. However, they can apply for a refund if the flight isn't fully booked. Previously, Southwest allowed such passengers to buy two seats for the price of one if the flight had available space.The new guidelines encourage passengers to assess their needs and make necessary arrangements in advance. Airline staff will also evaluate if a passenger requires an additional seat for safety reasons. This change coincides with Southwest's transition to assigned seating, moving away from its traditional open seating policy based on check-in order.Additionally, passengers traveling with partner carriers who need extra space must purchase an additional, non-refundable seat. These policy updates, including the introduction of baggage fees, have sparked mixed reactions. While some see it as a necessary adjustment for fairness, others believe it detracts from Southwest's reputation for being accommodating to plus-sized passengers.

Michael Symon's Mabel's Bar & Q is set to close next month, followed by the closure of Vetri Cucina on the 56th floor of the Ivory Tower and Laguna Pool House & Kitchen, along with Rojo Lounge at Palms Place.

Summerlin South NV Wins U.S. Championship At Little League World Series

Posted by oshv — Sat, 23 Aug 2025 22:22 GMT

Summerlin South from Nevada has advanced to the championship game of the Little League World Series, securing their spot after defeating Fairfield, Connecticut, 8-2 in the U.S. title game. They will face Taipei (Chinese Taipei) for the championship at Lamade Stadium. This achievement marks the first time a team from Nevada has reached the LLWS championship game, with Mountain Ridge having previously reached the U.S. title game in 2014.Key player Garrett Gallegos played a pivotal role in Summerlin South's victory, contributing both offensively and defensively. He scored a run in the first inning and hit a home run in the fourth, widening the lead to 4-1. On the mound, Gallegos pitched the first five innings, allowing two runs on four hits and striking out eight batters.The team dominated the game early, scoring three runs in the first inning and breaking it open with four runs in the sixth. After recovering from a challenging start, where Gallegos hit two batters, he managed to limit Connecticut to one run in the first inning, capitalizing on strikeouts to end the threat.Taipei secured their spot in the championship by narrowly defeating Santa Cruz (Aruba) 1-0 in the International championship game. Liu Wei-Heng excelled on the mound for Taipei, allowing only four hits and striking out seven across 5 1/3 innings. Chen Shi-Hong scored the game's only run on a series of plays involving a walk, a passed ball, and an errant throw.Taipei aims to secure its first LLWS title since 1996. Historically, Taiwan has been successful in the LLWS, with 17 titles to their name. The championship game between Summerlin South and Taipei will be broadcast on ABC.

Father of NBA Star Jaylen Brown Arrested for Attempted Murder in Las Vegas Stabbing

Posted by oshv — Thu, 21 Aug 2025 22:55 GMT

Quenton Marcelles Brown, father of NBA star Jaylen Brown, was arrested in Las Vegas on suspicion of attempted murder following a stabbing incident. The altercation reportedly began after a minor vehicular incident, escalating to Brown allegedly stabbing the victim multiple times. During the initial court hearing, the judge set bail at $300,000, citing concerns about community safety and Brown's potential flight risk. The court also mandated high-level electronic monitoring should he be released.Prosecutors argued that Brown initiated the confrontation, challenging the victim to a fight and attacking from behind, which negates claims of self-defense. They highlighted Brown's prior domestic battery conviction and an outstanding warrant in Georgia as factors in their bail request.In contrast, Brown's defense attorney, Arnold Weinstock, contended that Brown was the actual victim, stating the alleged victim attacked Brown's vehicle and hit him with a gun, prompting Brown to defend himself. Weinstock proposed a lower bail, noting Brown's long-term residency in Las Vegas, family support, and recent medical issues.Despite these arguments, Brown remains in custody, with a court appearance scheduled for August 26. Jaylen Brown, a key player for the Boston Celtics and 2024 NBA Finals MVP, has not publicly commented on the incident.

Two guests have filed a lawsuit against MGM Resorts International, claiming false imprisonment, negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligent hiring, training, and retention after an incident at the Delano, now known as W Las Vegas. The plaintiffs, Andriana Thomopolous and Rania Kassab, allege they were detained for about four hours by hotel security following an altercation with another guest. The suit states the altercation began when a female guest became verbally aggressive and threw a drink at them after a minor contact in a crowded area.The plaintiffs claim they were separated from their spouses, detained without explanation, and unable to communicate during their detention. Despite surveillance footage allegedly showing they had done nothing wrong, they were held in a holding cell and issued a warning upon release, indicating that any future incidents could lead to trespass charges. The lawsuit seeks various damages and legal fees. MGM Resorts International has not commented on the case.
