CCSD SCHOOLS CUT FRENCH AND OTHER ELECTIVES TO HELP BRIDGE BUDGET GAP It’s been a month since Clark County School District announced a $68 million deficit and asked schools to cut $47 million from their budgets (the rest will come from administration). Nevada already lags at the bottom of education rankings, so where will the money come from? “Each individual school site makes the decision on where they would make adjustments to their budget,” said CCSD spokesperson Mauricio Marin. While this independence allows schools to choose what works best for their specific population, it makes it difficult to pinpoint what exactly is cut. Teachers and advocates from an unofficial CCSD Facebook group reported that JD Smith Middle School is cutting its library position; J. Harold Brinley Middle School is ending band; Southwest Career and Technical Academy is saying au revoir to French. By press time, the CCSD spokesperson could only confirm that Coronado High School is cutting French (but has “several other foreign language options”), as is Arbor View High School (due to lack of interest, not budget cuts). Expect more clarity to emerge as fall approaches. — C. Moon Reed

THINGS THAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK

NO VISITATION: On the same day that the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles were supposed to be commemorating their championship at the White House — but were disinvited by President Donald Trump — the stars of both teams in the NBA Finals said they would not be going to the White House should their team win. LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers said “no one wants the invite anyway” and Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors reiterated his position from last year, when his team was not invited after winning the NBA title.
SPORTS BETTING SPREADING: The market for legal sports gambling in the United States widened significantly June 5 when Delaware launched single-game sports betting. Now, people can drive from cities such as Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, D.C., rather than fly to Las Vegas or gamble illegally.
IT’S NOT ABOUT LOOKS: The Miss America pageant said June 5 it is dropping the swimsuit competition and will no longer judge contestants on their appearance but on “what makes you you.” The announcement came after a shake-up at the Miss America Organization that resulted in the top three leadership positions being held by women.
If you’ve ever visited Blue Sky Yoga inside Downtown’s Art Factory then you probably know Cheryl Slader—the instructor and founder who teaches many of the studio’s most popular classes. Slader recently teamed up with Sunrise Coffee in Henderson to launch a meditation and tea group, complete with free tea and pastries. Join Slader on July 13 at 10:30 a.m. as she guides a mind-calming meditation suitable for beginners, followed by a stress-relieving group chat. Feel like sticking around? Order a “Teacher’s Pet” strawberry lemonade and 15 percent of the profits will help teachers to acquire school supplies. Sunrise Coffee, 3130 E. Sunset Rd., 702-433-3304. — Leslie Ventura

BEG YOUR PARDON: In an early-morning tweet June 4, President Donald Trump declared that he has the “absolute right” to pardon himself, though he also insisted he had no reason to. The tweet came amid talk of pardons for high-profile convicts such as Martha Stewart, Rod Blagojevich and Dinesh D’Souza.

We need Border Security! (June 5) ■ ...Four reporters spotted Melania in the White House last week walking merrily along to a meeting. They never reported the sighting because it would hurt the sick narrative that she was living in a different part of the world, was really ill, or whatever. Fake News is really bad! (June 6)

FESTIVAL TO RAISE FUNDS FOR NEVADA’S ART PROGRAMS A procession of intergalactic art cars—30-foot aliens, rhinos and praying mantises and more—will cruise down the Las Vegas Strip for the Intergalactic Art Car Festival hosted by Lyft and Fired Up Management. The festival will help raise funds for Nevada’s art programs. The procession will begin at 7 p.m. from the Llama Lot at Ogden and 9th Street, down the Las Vegas Strip to Harmon Avenue before returning to the Llama Lot where an art festival will take place from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. and will include fire dancers, live DJ performances, food trucks and more. General admission tickets are free while supplies last. Philanthropist ticket packages start at $75 and feature festival upgrades like an open bar at Atomic Liquors, express entrance to the festival and free credit for a Lyft ride. All ages.

VOTING IN THE ELECTIONS? HERE’S WHAT TO EXPECT AT POLLING LOCATIONS s many as 500,000 Clark County residents will take to the voting booths for this month’s primary elections and the general midterm elections in November. With 172 polling locations, Clark County is by far Nevada’s largest polling site, followed by Washoe County. Several rules apply for candidates, staffers and poll volunteers to ensure that all voters have a fair and unbiased experience and Nevada polling places don’t turn into campaign rallies. Here’s what voters can expect June 12 and November 6:
A
1
A CAMPAIGN-FREE VOTING ENVIRONMENT, AT LEAST WITHIN 100 FEET OF THE BALLOT BOX Electioneering, by federal law, is not allowed within that space, which means a candidate, staffer or member of the public cannot legally attempt to influence a would-be voter. Owners of voting locations on private property, like Meadows Mall, can also choose not to allow any electioneering at all on their properties. Distance markers surrounding the voting booths at most locations will signal to voters and campaign influencers the location of the 100-foot boundary. Polling place volunteers are also prohibited from electioneering, which includes wearing any kind of attire in support of a political party or candidate. That means no “Make American Great Again” hats or buttons with donkeys on them. Those in violation of electioneering laws at the ballot box are subject to arrest and gross misdemeanor charges carrying up to $2,000 in fines and one year in prison. “We wouldn’t allow somebody who’s wearing a campaign T-shirt to work at the polling place,” says Jennifer Russell, spokeswoman for the Nevada Secretary of State. “Every polling place has supervisors to make sure that doesn’t happen.”
2
AN ABUNDANCE OF LOCAL VOTING LOCATIONS WITH SEVERAL BOOTHS Most polling places in the Las Vegas Valley are located within three miles of any county resident, according to the Clark County Election Department, and have anywhere from 20 to 40 individual booths for people to vote. Residents of the county can cast their vote at any of the 172 Clark County centers. Bunkerville, Indian Springs, Laughlin, Mesquite, Moapa, Moapa Valley, Sandy Valley and Searchlight will also have a voting center on Election Day. County residents can also search for the closest voting poll to their homes at clarkcountynv.gov/vote. Voters need only to provide their signature. A state-issued ID is not required, but recommended, says Joe Gloria, registrar of voting. Voters aren’t allowed to wear buttons and hats endorsing candidates, as such paraphernalia is seen as electioneering. Gloria said voting poll staffers will ask voters wearing certain propaganda to remove it, but that they’ll “never ask anyone to take their shirt or pants off.” Weapons, like firearms, are permitted where not banned by law, but several voting polls are located inside schools where federal law prohibits guns.

AN INSTANTANEOUS RECORDING OF A PERSON’S VOTE— BOTH DIGITALLY AND ON PAPER All results are recorded immediately on the voting machine and backed up with a printed piece of paper, county spokesman Dan Kulin said. The materials and records of votes cast are all transported to the Clark County Election Department’s downtown office and added up at the end of the day. The “standalone” voting booths in Clark County are not connected to the internet, Kulin said.
6 . 7.1 8
LANGUAGES AND BALLOTS
Besides English, all ballots in Clark County are also offered in Spanish (since July 2002) and Tagalog (since October 2011). Federal law requires ballots to be printed in any language spoken at home by at least 5 percent of a county’s residents or more than 10,000 people of voting age. Clark County spokesman Dan Kulin said despite the growing number of native Mandarin Chinese speakers—which U.S. Census Bureau and online estimates put between 24,000 to 29,000 total residents in the Valley—county officials have not received any new mandates to add that language to the ballot. All counties in Nevada offer ballots in both English and Spanish, but Kulin said only Clark County also includes ballots in Tagalog. An additional mandate for Mandarin in Clark County may come as soon as the 2020 Census statistics are released, he said.

EARLY AND ABSENTEE VOTING Nevadans wishing to stay at home or who are traveling out of town during this year’s elections can still place their votes via early and absentee voting. Early voting, which briefly opens some polling sites during the weeks before Election Day, will take place until June 8 for the Republican and Democratic primaries, and October 20 through November 2 for the general election at nearly all of the same polling locations open on Election Day.
■ Absentee voting allows Nevada voters to cast their votes via mail. About 12 percent of the county’s almost 123,000 voters in the 2014 primary midterm elections, and 6 percent of its roughly 341,000 voters in the 2014 general election, voted via absentee ballot.

TURN HEAT up the
how to look hot but keep cool this summer
F
or countless Las Vegans, summertime in the desert is the start of a truly epic season: weekends by the pool, scenic road trips and excursions through the region’s sprawling hills and mountains. For the fashion-conscious, it also means preparing for some serious
wardrobe gymnastics; after all, looking your best in triple-digit weather isn’t always an easy feat. But if you have the right essentials in your closet, we’re confident you can look effortlessly chic no matter where you’re headed. This season is all about breezy, flowing fabrics (think cotton, linen and chambray) that will keep you cool all day. Skin-baring bathing suits add a mix of classic vintage with nods to ’50s and ’60s silhouettes, all retrofitted for an updated look. Light, creamy color palates are infused with bright swatches of color (think: zesty oranges and effervescent reds) to make every outfit pop. Get dressed and hitch a ride to the hip new Cottonwood Station eatery in the scenic village of Blue Diamond, where modern meets the Wild West. What are you waiting for? Slip on a pair of sandals, grab your camera and go. After all, this is what summer memories are made of.

HOW TO PROPERLY USE AND STORE HOUSEHOLD POISONS BY EMILY KULKUS | SPECIAL TO WEEKLY
Let’s face it, life is messy. Sometimes things get dirty, clogged, broken, damaged or destroyed, and little critters—bugs, spiders, rodents and more—decide they’d like to be your roommate. So you head to the hardware store and come home with a bag full of fixes: cleaning products, drain opener, glue, paint, rodent repellent and weed killer. These products, and countless more, are a part of life. Ridding your home of all of them is likely not an option, but making your home safer for everyone under your roof definitely is. Here are tips, suggestions and more information about making your home safer, regardless of what’s in it.
HOW TO IDENTIFY POISONING According to the Mayo Clinic, you can suspect poisoning if any of the following symptoms are present: 1 Burns or redness around the mouth and lips 2 Breath that smells like chemicals 3 Vomiting 4 Difficulty breathing 5 Drowsiness 6 Confusion or other altered mental state CALL 911 IF MORE ADVANCED SYMPTOMS OCCUR: 7 Unconsciousness 8 Difficulty breathing or not breathing 9 Restlessness or agitation 10 Seizures
PESTICIDES The purpose of a pesticide is to kill something. Consider that when you’re spreading, storing and using products. Many of the rules that apply to cleaning products also apply to pesticides. STORAGE Pesticides should be stored by themselves and away from children, pets, food and water. If you pour a pesticide into a sprayer or other container, be sure to label that bottle once you’re finished with it.
BUY ONLY WHAT YOU NEED Sale on ant killer? Skip it. Buy only what you need, and you won’t have to deal with storing large quantities or disposing of unwanted chemicals later. Have something you don’t want anymore? Many municipalities offer hazardous materials recycling events to safely dispose of pesticides, chemicals, paints and more.
FLEA AND TICK PRODUCTS Keeping bugs at bay also means keeping them off your pets. Handle and store flea and tick products the same as you would any other pesticide in your home.
CLEANERS
Germs are everywhere. It’s a fact. Science has shown that being exposed to some germs builds immunity and can be good for you. But when a package of raw chicken spills onto your countertop or the stomach bug hits, it’s time to clean—here’s how to do it safely.
STORAGE Keep all of your cleaners in one place, away from children and pets. Tall shelves or a locked cabinet are best. It should be a place that’s well-ventilated and away from extreme temperatures. Make sure it’s also far from furnaces or fire sources, ponds, streams, water sources, drinking water wells, etc. DOUBLE-BAG IT Consider storing chemicals in an extra container or bin. Five-gallon buckets from the hardware store, old plastic tubs or caddies can catch spills before they leak off a tall shelf or seep into a cabinet. READ THE LABELS All cleaning products should remain in their original packaging. If that’s not possible, clearly label bottles with exactly what’s inside. (While you’re at it, date the bottle, too.) If the product’s label is obscured (age, leaking, sun damage) and you’re not sure what it is or how long it’s been in there, toss it. WHEN IN DOUBT, DON’T MIX IT Many mixtures can create dangerous and deadly fumes. For instance, bleach should never be mixed with vinegar, ammonia, rubbing alcohol, acids, oven cleaners, hydrogen peroxide or insecticides.

HIDDEN DANGERS
Aside from obvious dangers, there are things in your home that can be a risk if left unchecked. ■ Loose throw rugs: Use sticky tape or Velcro to secure them to the floors. ■ Slippery stairs: Add carpet or tread to any and all stairwells to avoid falls. ■ Extension cords: Don’t overload them and make sure they are new models. Many
older models don’t meet modern safety requirements and could be a fire hazard. ■ Toys: Picking up after your kids at the end of the night is exhausting. Tripping
over a tiny dump truck or a pile of blocks in the middle of the night is much worse. ■ Tippable furniture: Make sure bookshelves, dressers and televisions are strapped down and secured to walls or other furniture to avoid tipping onto children or pets. ■ Corners: Jagged edges (bed frames, door jams, exposed brick, fireplaces) can cause serious injuries to people of all ages. Consider padding edges with foam kits or taking precautionary measures against anything that would hurt bad if you ran into it with your arm, leg, toe or worse—your head.
KEEPING PETS SAFE Your dog, cat or other pet will consider anything on the floor or within reach fair game as a treat or snack. So keep those pesticides and cleaners up and out of their reach, too.
DANGEROUS PLANTS There are many plant varieties, indoor and outdoor, that can cause digestion issues and potentially fatal side effects. To view the full list from the ASPCA, search “Poisonous plants” on their website or visit: aspca.org/ pet-care/animal-poisoncontrol/toxic-and-non-toxicplants. And according to several websites, the following indoor plants can be dangerous to an animal if ingested: 1. Philodendron 2. Pothos 3. Arrowhead 4. Lily 5. Peace Lily 6. Dieffenbachia 7. Oleander 8. Caladium 9. Mother-in-Law’s Tongue 10. Ivy
DANGEROUS FOOD Many of the foods that grace our plates every day can be dangerous or lethal to pets. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), the following foods can be harmful to your pets—cats and dogs especially: ■ Chocolate ■ Alcohol ■ Citrus (stems, leaves, peels, fruit and seeds can contain various levels of citric acids that can be dangerous) ■ Grapes and raisins ■ Macadamia nuts and other nuts ■ Milk and dairy ■ Onions ■ Garlic ■ Chives ■ Raw or undercooked meat ■ Eggs ■ Bones ■ Salt and salty snack foods ■ Xylitol ■ Yeast dough

THU, JUNE 7 WINCHESTER GALLERY KARIN Q. MILLER’S I AM GREAT? We’ve all been there: bouncing between moments of extreme self-confidence and crippling self-doubt. Then, the second you find a balance, you start comparing yourself to others and your whole self-concept is again thrown into flux. It certainly doesn’t help that the United States at large has been suffering from a similar identity crisis, especially surrounding the divisive 2016 presidential election and the popularity of the “Make America Great Again” slogan. When exactly did America stop being great? And how does one become great? Las Vegas-based conceptual artist Karin Quindo Miller (UNLV BFA ’12) explores these themes and more in her new video installation I AM GREAT? In this piece, she teases out the connections between identity and emotion, asking: “Is true identity hidden from others and the self? Which nuance is indicative of this transition and can it be truly seen or exposed?” She uses a “meditative and ritual process” in her work, connecting “external environment and internal dialogue.” The installation runs through June 29, and there’s a free artist workshop on June 23 at 11 a.m. Reception: 5:307:30 p.m. Gallery hours: Tuesday-Friday, 10 a.m.8 p.m., Saturday, 9 a.m.-6 p.m.; free. –C.

Aussie electronic group Rüfüs Du Sol launches its EBC residency By Brock Radke
ncore Beach Club is celebrating its eighth anniversary this weekend with a rare Las Vegas performance from Australian alt-dance outfit Rüfüs Du Sol. The group played last year’s Electric Daisy Carnival and will drop the first in a series of 2018 DJ sets at EBC Saturday. The Weekly spoke with Jon George, one-third of Rüfüs (with Tyrone Lindqvist and James Hunt), about the group’s Wynn Nightlife debut and upcoming third album.
E
Are you looking forward to spending more time in Las Vegas? We moved to LA last year to start writing this record so we’re so close to Vegas now, we can smell it. It will be good to get out there and have some fun. We’ve had some good times in Vegas already during our last tours and it’s a pretty extravagant experience. At EDC last year we went out in a helicopter into the festival and that was pretty mindblowing, to totally feel the energy before we were about to play. We’re ready.

RÜFÜS DU SOL WITH MOTEZ AT ENCORE BEACH CLUB NIGHTSWIM June 9, 10:30 p.m., $25-$45. Encore, 702-770-7300.
Will there be any live instrumentation or are these traditional DJ sets? We are strictly there to DJ but I guess the difference with our sets is that we’ve been finishing this album so we’ll be able to use a lot of original cuts people haven’t heard before, to test those new songs out and have some really fresh sets. That’s the advantage. But we’ve always been DJs as well as being in the band.
Why is Encore Beach Club the perfect venue for Rüfüs? Definitely because of the lineups they are putting on now, [with] Jamie Jones and Solomun and Guy Gerber. We really like that type of music and it’s just perfect for a pool party. We wanted to be among that crowd and to have that place to test out all our new records and what we’ve been working on.
Is your collaboration in the club similar to the process of writing and performing together in the band? I guess it’s pretty similar in the way we’re bouncing ideas back and forth. When we’re getting supercreative on the decks and creating loops and not just going song to song, that’s when we get that backand-forth and start to use our musical background a little more.
When will the new album be finished? Sometime this year, that’s the plan. We just released a new song [“No Place”] and we’re really excited to start getting feedback on that. It’s been a really cathartic experience to finally have some of this music out there because we had a lot of fun making a record [for the first time] in America. I think we always try to isolate ourselves when we’re writing so we can fully immerse ourselves in it and that’s what we did in LA. It was about drawing on the experiences of the last two years of touring, the ups and downs that come with that lifestyle, being away from friends and family for so long, that euphoria that comes with playing big stages. That all speedballs into one big feeling and that’s what has driven the album. (Courtesy)

Hey Mr. DJ: Chvrches’ “Miracle”
+
Chvrches might not make the dancefloor bangers you’re accustomed to hearing in the club, but in the seven years since the Scottish outfit arrived on the indie circuit, it’s perfected its own brand of synth-pop, a sound that needs to be heard in the big room. “Miracle” reflects that sentiment—an obvious standout off the group’s May release Love Is Dead. Singer Lauren Mayberry has a voice that stands out among the best of the Billboard charttoppers: think Daya, Halsey, Bebe Rexha— you get the picture. Shimmering electronics, emotive vocals and a thundering chorus— “Miracle” has all the ingredients of a summer jam, the kind of track that’s just begging to be played again and again. Sure, indie pop isn’t what Vegas clubs typically play, but in a city full of top-rate DJs I’m willing to bet there’s one out there who could work this in effortlessly. Could it be you? –Leslie Ventura

YOUR NEW DOWNTOWN JAM JAMMYLAND FINDS ITS GROOVE WITH ITS JAMAICAN-INSPIRED FARE BY LESLIE VENTURA
A
warm and inviting patio, friendly staff and a kick-ass food and drink menu— Main Street’s latest restaurant and bar has all the necessary ingredients of a neighborhood staple. Jammyland—a craft cocktail bar and “reggae kitchen”—has been years in the making. Owners Danielle Crouch and Allan Katz started dreaming up the joint nearly a decade ago, but it wasn’t until this February that their brainchild came alive. Created out of Katz’ love of reggae (and of the former NYC vinyl shop of the same name), Jammyland is a restaurant and bar inspired by island life—on Jamaica, of course, but other Caribbean islands as well. The menu, headed up by nomadic Chef John “Bubba” Grayer, reflects that vision, fusing together tropical flavors with other cuisines like American, African, Indian and Thai. As such, it isn’t traditional Jamaican fare, but that doesn’t stop Jammyland from being damn good. Order a cocktail (a Golden Misfit, perhaps?) then start with ugali sticks ($7). Ugali is a Kenyan staple made from maize flour, which Chef Grayer shapes into golden-brown “fries” with a heavenly exterior that keeps the inside soft and molten-hot. Next, choose the low and slow pork ribs ($14). They’re dry rubbed with coriander, allspice, cumin, turmeric and star anise and topped off with a spicy-sweet habanero pepper jelly. If you like yours smothered in barbecue sauce, you won’t find that here, but they’re satisfyingly delicious nonetheless. Pulled chicken curry ($17) is one of the more surprising dishes on the menu, with tender meat swimming in a broth of turmeric, chiles, ginger, Chef’s curry blend and a side of buss up shut—the most addictive roti I’ve ever had, crafted after the Trinidadian and Indian-style paratha bread. And yes, before you ask, vegetarian options abound. The portions are on the smaller side while price tags land a bit higher—a ridiculously savory (albeit tiny) bowl of black pepper shrimp and porridge will set you back $22. But if you’re seeking a unique experience in the heart of Downtown, there’s no better place right now than Jammyland.

Imagine it’s 1925, alcohol is prohibited and the only way to wet your whistle is if you’re privy to the password. Say the wrong word and you’re on your own, but say the right one and the door opens, an evening of debauchery and mischief awaiting you downstairs. Such is the setting of the Mob Museum’s new bar, The Underground. Modeled after a Prohibition-era speakeasy and in keeping with the museum’s theme, here you can learn all about the Roaring Twenties, jazz, the mob and more—plus explore a real distillery that produces 100-proof moonshine made from corn (and yes, it’s bottled and available for purchase). Of course, presentation is key at the Mob Museum’s new bar—anything and everything to transport you back in time. Order an Underground Old Fashioned with bourbon, vanilla bean, brown sugar and bitters, and receive a glass of ice and an unassuming book—a discreet vessel that happens to be harboring your cocktail, perfectly mixed inside a glass bottle. The Marlow is the Underground’s specialty, featuring bourbon, sherry, blackberry, lemon and rosemary for a velvety mouth-feel “and a hint of sass.” There’s also coffee cocktails like the Cuban— made with rum, banana, pecan, scalded milk and espresso—beer on draft (The Underground Ale is brewed on site), wine by the glass and more. Rumor has it there’s a secret door waiting to be discovered, too, but you didn’t hear it from me. –Leslie Ventura

Wish this was
Six reasons why Nine Inch Nails By Annie Zaleski
N
ine Inch Nails’ three shows at the Joint sold out well in advance. That’s no surprise—after all, the L.A.-via-Cleveland electroindustrial rock pioneers remain one of the most reliable, vibrant live acts around. However, the quick sellout meant that many fans were shut out of tickets. To solve this frustrating, supply-and-demand problem, we’d like to pose an interesting potential solution: NIN should sign on for an extended Las Vegas residency. The idea might seem like sacrilege, but here are six reasons why it actually makes perfect sense.
1
The band is a major draw in Las Vegas. Nine Inch Nails makes it a point to play here on a regular basis, perhaps because its headlining shows routinely sell out. This fan loyalty even extends to co-bills: When NIN opened for Jane’s Addiction at the Pearl in 2009, the Weekly observed that “a noticeable portion of the sold-out crowd didn’t bother to return” for the headliners.
2 3
NIN fans are willing to travel. The band doesn’t just have a strong local fanbase: NIN aficionados are willing to travel to see the band, especially for special performances, making a residency a safe bet in terms of attendance.
The band’s catalog lends itself to intriguing performance possibilities. With the forthcoming release of Bad Witch, the final part of a planned trilogy, Nine Inch Nails will have nine albums under its collective belt. Combine these with the band’s numerous EPs, covers and b-sides, and it adds up to a massive catalog. In context of a residency, this poses intriguing performance possibilities—whether it’s a fluid setlist from night to night, a rotating full-album set spotlighting LPs from different eras or a mid-concert acoustic break.
6 . 7.1 8
c u lt u r e C ov e r S t o r y
23
something real should get a Vegas residency A residency gives them the chance to put on an (even more) amazing production. The band’s arena shows always include dazzling displays of cuttingedge lights, video and production. Giving NIN an entire permanent venue to themselves opens up enormous creative possibilities with respect to design. A stage that doesn’t need to be torn down and rebuilt every night also creates the potential for experiments with groundbreaking technology and effects.
5
A NIN residency aligns with the band’s subversive history. Residencies are no longer the domain of older classic artists—after all, Blink-182, Nickelback and Incubus have all done extended stays in Vegas. But Nine Inch Nails would be the first Generation X rock band (and, arguably, the most nihilistic and cynical act) ever to sign on for a residency, which makes the prospect rather compelling. Plus, Trent Reznor and company relish going against the grain—so a Vegas residency aligns perfectly with their history of subversion.
6
NIN are still one of the best live bands going. Although they no longer resemble total anarchy, NIN concerts have never lost their urgency and ferocity. Few bands remain captivating live performers three decades into their career. That NIN easily dominates both small and large venues is even more impressive.

Real name: Stephen Fasano Where might I know him from? He co-founded the Belgian house duo Aeroplane with Vito de Luca (who kept the act going after Fasano went solo in 2010). What’s he sound like? He’s as all over the place as a longhauling cab when it comes to his genre flirtations—he spans the dance spectrum, while infusing heavy doses of pop and R&B—but he anchors his productions with house beats and guest vocalists. Cred establishment: After breaking away with Aeroplane, Fasano launched his new act on esteemed French house label Kitsuné (with “I Don’t Know What To Do”). He followed that up with a smash remix of Lykke Li’s ‘I Follow Rivers,” which you most certainly heard if you partied in Downtown bars in the early 2010s. Got anything more recent? He’s released four earworm jams in the past 16 months, including the Ne-Yo-reminiscent “Tied Up.” Pander away: Also among those four songs is one called “Las Vegas.” Are we gonna groan through it? No, you’re going to dance through it. And if dude doesn’t play it on June 7, run him out of town. –Mike Prevatt

Roast beasts Jeff Ross and Dave Attell’s insult-comedy juggernaut rolls back into Vegas By Julie Seabaugh
W
hen the former star of Insomniac with Dave Attell and lead judge on Jeff Ross Presents Roast Battle get together onstage, the comedic output is decidedly dirty, often spontaneous and proudly no-holds-barred. The duo’s first co-headlining Bumping Mics show was unleashed in May 2015 at the House of Blues; this weekend’s Vegas return marks a homecoming, an anniversary and a showcase of the most lightningquick insult comedy imaginable, all rolled into one. Jeff Ross spoke with the Weekly about it. How does your Bumping Mics tour with Dave Attell differ from an average stand-up show? My shows are weird anyway. You add Dave to the mix, and it’s like one plus one equals three. We are like firepower. It’s almost rock-concertlevel comedy. We wanted to take it up a notch and start working theaters and big casinos, because it’s really, truly a show. We go back and forth making fun of each other, making fun of the world, making fun of the audience. And sometimes we have celebrity guests. It’s the most fun, highest-jokes-per-minute comedy has ever seen. The now-sober Attell used to be a bit of a wild card on the road. How do the two of you now spend your offstage time? You know, it’s interesting: The guy’s actually loosened up a little bit. He actually gambled at our last couple of casino gigs in Tahoe and Atlantic City. As a matter of fact, we did a private party in Vegas [in May], and I got Dave to come out at the Mirage’s daytime crazy beach club. Very un-Dave like. I feel like the Bumping Mics tour has really brought Dave out into the limelight. Normally he would go right back

Stage over screen Hannibal Buress cozies up to Vegas at the Mirage By Brock Radke

Hannibal Buress (Courtesy)
You’ve seen Hannibal Buress stealing big-screen scenes in Neighbors, Baywatch, Daddy’s Home and Spider-Man: Homecoming. Now the Chicago-born comedian is getting all the screen time he can handle in this month’s goofy ensemble flick Tag, also starring Jon Hamm, Jeremy Renner and Ed Helms. Does that mean the notoriously deadpan Buress is taking his acting career seriously? Not exactly. What’s your favorite movie you’ve done so far? Well, Tag is the biggest one so far, the movie I have the most to do with the story. I’m just excited to see how this one connects. Ultimately, I enjoy movies but hopefully this helps my stand-up and gets more people to come to my shows. This one is a whole different ballgame. When you’re on the posters and the billboards and a bigger part of that whole promotional process, it’s a different set of obligations. Tag looks kinda fun and ridiculous. HANNIBAL It is pretty ridiculous. It is ridiculous to BURESS do a movie about tag. A lot of us, while we June 8, 10 p.m., were doing it, would stop and say, ‘Yo, we’re $33-$55. Mirage, doing a movie about tag.’ But it’s really more 702-791-7111. about the friendship and the fun and the conversations and camaraderie that come with it. The cast is really good. It’s solid. Are there similarities between prepping for a movie and getting material ready for a stand-up show? At the risk of sounding incredibly unprofessional, I don’t really prep for movies. I just do a movie. [Laughs.] I just show up and say words until they say it’s time for lunch, then it’s time to go back and say some words until it’s time to go home. You just try to be funny in the context of this movie, you improvise, you try to stay on point with the story. If I was playing a boxer or something, that would be another level of prep where I gotta get in shape, learn boxing mechanics, watch old fights and interviews. If I get a role playing an anesthesiologist, I would read up on some of that terminology and probably shadow somebody. Maybe you’ll be a boxer or anesthesiologist in the next movie? Neither. I don’t want to do that level of work. [Laughs.] It is awesome to be in a finished movie because you get to see the result of everyone’s work, how the sound and editing and effects come together. But when you’re doing it, it can get kinda boring. And doing stand-up is not boring, especially doing it in Las Vegas. I come to Vegas just to kick it. I go to games, I gamble, I go see shows. I’ve probably been to Vegas ten times since my last show there. I’m in LA a lot so before I go back to Chicago I’ll stop in Vegas to kick it and go watch a Golden Knights game. They have been very fun to watch. I have become a hockey fan but it’s funny because I haven’t been to any Blackhawks games in Chicago.

Fringe Benefits Las Vegas Little Theatre presents its ninth annual buffet of dramatic delights BY c. Moon Reed ormally, theater directors act as gatekeepers. They enjoy an endless library of possible plays, but limited time and resources. So the act of choosing a play to produce is one of curation. They must say “no” countless times to deliver the rare “yes.” Las Vegas Little Theatre’s ninth-annual Vegas Fringe Festival flips those usual parameters on their heads. The festival fills its schedule on a firstcome, first-serve basis. “We don’t want to be sitting there in judgment of other people’s work, saying which one merits [inclusion] more than another,” says Las Vegas Little Theatre president Walter Niejadlik. He based this selection process on a San Francisco fringe fest that he participated in as an actor years ago. “We haven’t turned anything away yet; have gotten pretty full.” The mission is to provide a venue for play producers and performance artists. The festival helps them bypass the usual obstacles to production: costs, finding a stage space, marketing and ticket-

Ghost town, revisited Two local historians invite you to explore the everyday Las Vegas that was
By Geoff Carter hen we talk about Las Vegas history, we tend to talk big. We invoke memories of the Sands, the Stardust and other landmarks, and the epic demolitions that felled them. But historians Dennis McBride and Lynn M. Zook would like you to remember another Las Vegas: the one where people lived, worked and raised families. “These are places that were part of our lives when we were younger, like the restaurants we ate in, the drive-ins, the movie theaters, the department stores. … They played a big part in our ordinary lives,” McBride says. In “Places That Aren’t There Anymore”—part of Clark County Library’s Las Vegas Stories series—McBride and Zook will show photos of these forgotten spots as they were in their heyday, relate some of their history and allow the audience to fill in the gaps with their own stories. “It’s not going to be terribly formal,” McBride says, chuckling. But judging from a partial list of the places he intends to discuss—the Charleston

We provide them with free proactive and reactive programming, meetings and the opportunity for positive change. Since its inception, we have served 1,194 participants and successfully graduated 686. Our overall graduation rate to date is 57 percent. Our monthly Change One meetings provide youths an opportunity to engage with motivational speakers, as well as male and female ex-offender volunteers who share their stories to offer our young attendees a window into the life that is ahead of them if they make destructive choices. Another component of the program is working with the parents. While youth participants attend their meetings, parents have a meeting of their own in a separate room to discuss issues, concerns or questions they may have. They’re provided information about signs and symptoms of negative behavior in their child and how to navigate the behaviors. As participants continue the program, obstacles to the youth’s success are uncovered, so RTYIP provides a variety of other community resources and partners with other agencies. We’re also expanding with a leadership and career mentoring program to keep youths involved for more than just three months, so they continue to grow and development their skills and goals.

2018 ELECTION GUIDE
WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOU VOTE
V
BY YVONNE GONZALEZ | WEEKLY STAFF
oters will have a slew of candidates to choose from this year, an election season marked by President Donald Trump and a wave of activism. The GOP tends to have stronger turnout in the midterms, though races in Texas and elsewhere have shown an uptick in Democratic turnout.¶UNLV associate history professor Michael Green said Nevada’s races will be key and may influence the balance in Washington, D.C., and at the state level. “Democrats seem likely to keep control of the Legislature in 2018,” Green said. “The seats that seem to be on the bubble don’t really favor a Republican takeover.” Here are the key races to keep an eye on and their front-runners, based on campaign funds raised.
GOVERNOR With Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval term-limited, the seat is ostensibly up for grabs for either party. Voters haven’t put a Democrat in the office since Bob Miller, who had the position from 1989 to 1999. There are 17 candidates in the race. Experts and groups including Nevadans for the Common Good consider Clark County Commissioners Steve Sisolak and Chris Giunchigliani the Democratic front-runners in the race. Where Sisolak has been a major supporter of the Raiders stadium deal that carries a $750 million public investment and could generate 45,000 jobs, Giunchigliani has been critical of the plan at a time when Nevada’s schools are struggling financially and academically. Giunchigliani has said the state may not be able to renegotiate the deal, but that the contract shows where Nevada’s priorities are. Attorney General Adam Laxalt is favored among many Republicans, including GOP donor Sheldon Adelson. Laxalt has skipped several gubernatorial forums and debates, but has said he supports repealing the Commerce Tax, which became law under Sandoval in an effort to support education. Treasurer Dan Schwartz is considered one of Laxalt’s biggest rivals. Schwartz has been critical of the $750 million stadium deal as well, and wants to use that public investment in place of the Commerce Tax, which he also supports repealing.

ATTORNEY GENERAL Republican Wes Duncan is vying to replace his former boss as attorney general, announcing his campaign on the heels of Adam Laxalt’s official launch of his gubernatorial bid in November 2017. Duncan had resigned from the Assembly in 2014 to join Laxalt’s office. Duncan, a favorite in the race with Laxalt’s endorsement, faces former deputy district attorney Craig Mueller in the Republican primary. A first-time candidate who wants to expel the Bureau of Land Management from Nevada, Mueller has been outspoken in support of states’ rights when it comes to marijuana, and has called on Duncan to do the same. Duncan has declined to weigh in on the issue, saying he has “no comment on any possible future legal actions by the federal government.” Democrats have criticized Duncan as another Laxalt, whose office

Democrats faced criticism from the AG’s office during the legislative session, where Aaron Ford was Senate Majority Leader, after several Laxalt-backed bills, including a measure to reduce the rape kit backlog, were incorporated into other measures sponsored by the majority party. Ford also signed on to a sanctuary state bill that he and other Democrats never brought up for a hearing. Ford, the Democratic frontrunner, received endorsements from a number of party leaders, including U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif. His primary opponent, Stuart MacKie, is a Northern Nevada resident and farm owner who has not reported receiving any contributions for his campaign.

Dean Heller is the only Republican senator working to retain a seat in a state that went for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election. He’s received some support from President Donald Trump, who helped push his chief primary opponent out of the race after Heller jumped on board with Obamacare repeal, which failed. Republican Sarah Gazala is the only other GOP primary candidate to report contributions in the race and is being labeled a “Make America Great Again” candidate. Heller had previously stood alongside Gov. Brian Sandoval last year in support of protecting health care coverage in Nevada, saying it would be very difficult to get him to vote yes on an Obamacare repeal-and-replace plan that lawmakers were considering at the time. More than 200,000 Nevada residents gained health coverage when Sandoval became the first Republican governor to expand Medicaid

under the Affordable Care Act. Freshman Rep. Jacky Rosen, DNev., is considered the front-runner among more than a dozen challengers for Heller’s seat. Heller and Rosen supporters have sparred over Congress’ recent passage of tax reform. Rosen has criticized the new law for its permanent corporate tax cuts and temporary reductions for individuals. Heller’s campaign has pointed to companies such as Apple that have committed to giving employees benefits related to the new tax law, while opponents have pointed to companies that are buying back stock and giving higher dividends for shareholders. Rosen’s next-closest competitor in the Democratic primary, in terms of fundraising, is Medicare-for-all candidate Jesse Sbaih, who lent his campaign more than $2 million of the almost $2.2 million it took in from April to March 31. Rosen is not signed onto the House’s Medicare-for-all bill.

Rep. Dina Titus, D-Nev., is running for re-election in a relatively safe district where Republicans have less than 60,000 active registered voters. There are more than 133,000 active registered Democrats in the district, which includes the Strip. Her opponent in the primary is Reuben D’Silva. Republican Joyce Bentley is vying for the party’s nomination against Fred Horne, who also campaigned in 2016. Bentley is running on Trump’s “Make America Great Again” platform.
In Northern Nevada, Rep. Mark Amodei is also relatively safe in a district where Republicans have at least 48,000 more active registered voters than Democrats. He supported tax reform in Congress and signed on to a discharge petition in the House to force a vote on the Dream Act, legislation offering deportation protection to certain young immigrants who are living in the country illegally. Financially, Sharron Angle is his next-closest opponent in the primary. Amodei and Angle used to serve in the state Legislature together. Rick Shepherd, a Medicare-for-all candidate, is leading Democrats in fundraising. Next is Democrat Clint Koble, whose platform supports Medicare for those who need it most.

Almost two dozen people have filed to run for this position since Jacky Rosen decided to vacate it and challenge Sen. Dean Heller. Democrats have a slight edge with more than 148,000 active registered voters compared with less than 143,000 active registered Republicans as of the end of May. Susie Lee is considered the Democratic front-runner, with endorsements from prominent Democrats including former Vice President Joe Biden and Emily’s List, a group supporting pro-choice women for office. Her nearest opponent in fundraising is Jack Love, a Medicarefor-all candidate. Repeated Republican candidate Danny Tarkanian jumped into the race after talking with President Donald Trump, taking himself out of a contentious Senate primary against Heller. Tarkanian criticized Heller for not supporting Trump’s agenda. Relatively new to the race, he has been endorsed by Attorney General Adam Laxalt. State Sen. Scott Hammond is next behind Tarkanian in fundraising. Hammond is one of the lawmakers who helped establish Nevada’s Opportunity Scholarship program and its currently defunct Education Savings Accounts. Republican and former reporter Michelle Mortensen also is in the crowded Republican primary. She has criticized the “liberal media,” which has been a focal point for Trump and his attacks against socalled fake news.
Accusations of misconduct against women have been a focal point of the race for a seat that could have been an easier keep for Democrats, who had at least 32,000 more active registered voters in the district than Republicans as of last month. The race is in play after Rep. Ruben Kihuen, D-Nev., was accused of sexual misconduct. Buzzfeed first reported that a former member of Kihuen’s election campaign said she quit after he harassed her. Kihuen has said he is looking forward to clearing his name. Running for the seat he lost to Kihuen in 2016, Republican Cresent Hardy’s campaign has also been touched by misconduct scandals. Red Rock Strategies fired a political consultant who worked on Hardy’s campaign after the consultant was accused of domestic violence, the Associated Press reported. It’s unclear whether the harassment and abuse cases will register with voters, though Green said that in Alabama’s recent Senate race, Democrat Doug Jones won against Roy Moore, also accused of sexual misconduct, largely because the candidate was a problem for Republicans. The rest of the race for the fourth district, where Yucca Mountain is located, is crowded with more than a dozen other candidates as well. Former Democratic Rep. Steven Horsford is leading in funds raised and is endorsed by the local Culinary Union. He had previously led an affiliate of the union, the Culinary Academy of Las Vegas. Democrat Amy Vilela, a Medicare-for-all candidate, is second in funds raised, followed by John Anzalone, a school principal whose platform focuses on school safety and a system to help schools maintain staffing for mental health experts. Aside from Hardy, the Republican primary is crowded with relative newcomers. The fundraising frontrunner is David Gibbs. His next-closest opponent in terms of fundraising is Bill Townsend.

2018 election guide
LAS VEGAS WEEKLY ENDORSEMENTS Governor’s race In the race for Nevada governor, the decision on the Democratic side comes down to one question: Which candidate has the best chance of defeating Republican Adam Laxalt? The answer is Steve Sisolak. Sisolak has the experience, the record and the fundraising clout to overcome Laxalt, who, assuming he performs as expected and emerges as the Republican candidate after the June 12 primary, will be heavily supported by conservative GOP donors in Nevada and well beyond. Sisolak also is seen as a mainstream candidate, and thus able to attract voters across the spectrum — especially against Laxalt, who is holed up at the far right of his party. Laxalt’s record includes campaigning against the 2016 ballot question on expanded background checks for gun purchases, signing up Nevada to help defend a restrictive Texas abortion law without consulting with Gov. Brian Sandoval, and also signing Nevada on to a lawsuit challenging the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, also without Sandoval’s blessing. He’s also done the bare minimum in trying to work with federal authorities to implement the background check initiative. With Laxalt on the ballot in the general election, many moderate Republicans will be looking for an acceptable alternative. Sisolak is just that. As chairman of the Clark County Commission, Sisolak has promoted projects that contribute to the economic development of Southern Nevada and the entire state. He played a lead role in the Raiders stadium project and also voted in favor of increasing the hotel room tax to fund expansion
of the Las Vegas Convention Center, both of which will help boost the economy. Conservatives will scream that Sisolak is a stereotypical tax-and-spend Democrat, but that’s a false narrative. First, the Raiders stadium and convention center expansion were good business investments. Second, Sisolak has opposed some tax increases during his career in public service, such as the 2014 margins tax. Sisolak also is on record saying he’d be more stingy than Sandoval has been in providing tax abatements to large companies, like Tesla, to lure them to Nevada. A free spender? Hardly. Then there’s Sisolak’s 10year record on the Nevada Board of Regents, which includes being the only member of the board to vote against restructuring the higher education system to give the chancellor power to fire school presidents. That change has been a disaster for UNLV, which has gone through a parade of presidents since the regents created the strong chancellor position in 2005. Sisolak was the only regent to foresee the damage that was coming and try to head it off. He’s been proven right about his concerns. Sisolak’s leading opponent in the Democratic primary, Chris Giunchigliani, also is a strong candidate who has served her district well as a Clark County commissioner. Giunchigliani served capably in the Nevada Legislature too, spending 15 years as an assemblywoman. But she is seen as far too liberal for most Nevadans. And in a head-to-head fight with Laxalt, we are concerned he would become the default candidate.
And Nevada can’t afford for that to happen this year, not with Laxalt expected to win on the GOP side. A win for Laxalt would be a huge step backward for Nevada, which has made remarkable progress under Sandoval’s moderate leadership. The Legislature is expected to remain in Democrats’ hands, meaning that electing a Democratic governor would allow the state to make even greater strides in areas like gun safety, school funding and protection for our immigrant communities. With Laxalt in office, the veto pen would get a workout, and Nevada would suffer. In fact, Las Vegas Weekly and its sister publication, the Las Vegas Sun, would not normally side with a candidate in a Democratic primary. But the stakes here are too high for us not to weigh in. To put the most competitive candidate on the November ballot and keep the state moving forward, Democrats should side with Sisolak in the primary.
Clark County District Attorney When it comes to the Clark County District Attorney’s race, the choice is much easier. Steve Wolfson, the incumbent, deserves another term. Wolfson has done an admirable job since being appointed to his position in 2012 and elected to it two years later. He hasn’t been free of controversy, including facing heavy scrutiny a few years ago over a lack of accountability measures for victim-witness payments. But those instances have been rare, and Wolfson has reacted to them professionally and responsibly. The primary vote between Wolfson and challenger Robert Langford will be a winner-take-all affair, as no candidates filed on the Republican side. We urge voters to choose Wolfson. There’s simply no compelling need to disrupt the continuity in leadership at the DA’s office.

KNIGHTS VS. VS BY CASE KEEFER | WEEKLY STAFF
+ Desperation accompanies the Golden Knights as they arrive back in town for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final. Facing a 3-1 deficit to the Washington Capitals, the Golden Knights must now win three straight games to finish off their inaugural season with an NHL championship. Here’s a refresher on how the series has arrived at its current juncture.
GAME 1
FINAL SCORE: VEGAS 6, WASHINGTON 4 KEY MOMENT: A minute-and-a-half
after the Capitals took a 4-3 lead early in the third period, Golden Knights’ fourthliner Ryan Reaves collected a rebound in front of the net and poked it past goalie Braden Holtby. Reaves, who didn’t score in the regular season with the Golden Knights, managed a massive, momentum-swinging goal for the second straight game.
BIGGEST GOAL:
Reaves’ similarly underappreciated linemate, Tomas Nosek, scores the game-winner seven minutes later after defenseman Shea Theodore threaded a pass through traffic to find him open on the left side of the net.
TELLING STAT:
Three total goals by Vegas’ fourth line of Reaves, Nosek and Pierre-Edouard Bellemare. The bottom of the Golden Knights’ depth chart won them the game.
FINAL WORD:
“I’m not totally happy with that game,” Golden Knights coach Gerard Gallant said. “But the bottom line, we won the game so we’re going to be a lot happier than they are. It was a bit of a sloppy game, two teams still feeling each other out.”
GAME 2
FINAL SCORE: WASHINGTON 3, VEGAS 2 KEY MOMENT:
Washington goalie Braden Holtby makes a potentially legendary save with two minutes remaining in the game and his team clinging to a 3-2 lead. Vegas had attacked throughout the period, and got its best chance when Cody Eakin corralled the puck off the boards and fired a pass to Alex Tuch on the other side of the net. Holtby dives and outstretches his stick just in time to knock Tuch’s attempt away.
BIGGEST GOAL: Superstar Alex Ovechkin gets on the board in the series by finishing a perfectly executed Washington power play. The Capitals’ puck movement from Lars Eller to Nicklas Backstrom to Ovechkin was flawless, leaving little chance for Vegas goalie Marc-Andre Fleury to stop a goal that gave Washington a lead, 2-1 at the time, it never relinquished.
TELLING STAT:
37 saves by Braden Holtby. Vegas was able to pressure Washington late, but couldn’t crack the goalie who came into the Stanley Cup Final having not allowed a goal in 159 straight minutes of play.
FINAL WORD:
“I think we were trying to be a little bit too fancy at times,” Golden Knights defenseman Shea Theodore said. “That’s not our game. We really have to simplify a lot of things and get back to our roots.”
RYAN REAVES
6 . 7.1 8
CAPITALS GAME 3
FINAL SCORE: WASHINGTON 3, VEGAS 1 KEY MOMENT:
Jonathan Marchessault gets a puck past Braden Holtby late in the first period, but it clanks off of the post to keep the contest scoreless. It was Vegas’ first shot on goal of even-strength play despite coming 14 minutes into the game, making for an anemic offense showing that would plague the Golden Knights for the rest of the night. But it’s hard not to think everything could have been different if Marchessault’s shot was an inch to the left.
BROOKS ORPIK
BIGGEST GOAL: Capitals’ fourth-line
wing Devante Smith-Pelly iced the game by flipping the puck over Marc-Andre Fleury’s left shoulder and into the net with seven minutes to play. Linemate Jay Beagle started the sequence by intercepting a pass behind the goal, and finding Smith-Pelly in prime scoring position right in front of the crease. Putting the Golden Knights at a twogoal deficit, the score greatly diminished any possible comeback chance.
TELLING STAT: 63 percent of face-offs Our season celebration of the Golden Knights coming in a special issue on July 21
won by the Capitals. Face-off statistics are generally regarded as useless and likely to equal out over time, but Washington’s dominance certainly seemed to factor into its Game 3 win. Washington’s success in the circle was able to kick start its fast-paced attack and limit Vegas’ possessions.
FINAL WORD:
LV W S P O R T S
71
THE SERIES SO FAR
GAME 4
FINAL SCORE: WASHINGTON 6, VEGAS 2 KEY MOMENT:
An encouraging start looks like it will pay off in a 1-0 lead for the Golden Knights when James Neal receives a pass with a wide-open net in front of him. Neal then inexplicably misses the shot off of the far post, failing to convert on an attempt he later laments he’d make “nine out of 10 times.” It’s a sign that the Golden Knights’ problems in finishing off scoring chances from the previous two games aren’t yet solved, and they look deflated as they go on to give up three first-period goals.
BIGGEST GOAL: Golden Knights’
agitator Tom Wilson cuts in front of the net, fields a pass from Evgeny Kuznetsov and slides the puck between Fleury’s knee and elbow to give the Capitals a 2-0 lead. The Capitals’ first even-strength goal sends Capital One Arena into a frenzy, and the team adds another score three minutes later.
TELLING STAT: .739 save percent-
age by Fleury, his worst showing of the playoffs. Vegas’ previously impenetrable goalie allowed six of 23 shots on goal to get past him. They weren’t all his fault, as the Golden Knights had several defensive breakdowns, but Vegas reached the Stanley Cup Final in the first place because Fleury consistently avoided any semblance of an off night.
FINAL WORD:
“Obviously, we have no more room for error so we’ve got to get ready for the next game,” Gallant said.
“I think it will be important to remind everyone that it is not over,” Golden Knights goalie Marc-Andre Fleury said. “It’s just 2 to 1. There is still plenty of time to return to this series.”

Organizations aiming to ease job search woes for LGBT individuals BY MICHAEL LYLE
I
SPECIAL TO VEGAS INC
n the little time Samantha Mejia has been in Las Vegas, she applied for about 20 jobs and had six interviews. However, she said being transgender has slowed down the process of finding employment. “If I look passable to them, I don’t have a problem,” Mejia said. It’s when employers take a look at her identification and other documents that she starts having issues. She hasn’t updated all her information, including her gender marker or her previous name. It’s usually right after employers find out that she is trans that the application process ends. She was able to find a little relief at the April 4 career fair at the Gay and Lesbian Community Center of Southern Nevada, knowing the 20-plus booths were vetted and LGBT friendly. Organizations in Southern Nevada are trying to provide more resources for LGBT individuals searching for work. The career fair, which the Center hosts twice a year, is just one of them. Connie Shearer, a volunteer with the Center who organized the event, said she often receives comments from participants detailing their struggles with finding employment. “It’s a bigger problem than people are willing to admit, especially for trans people,” she said. “This means something for them—to talk with a (job recruiter at the fair)—and be given the same dignity and respect a heteronormative person is given during an interview.” Unemployment and workplace discrimination is still something the community faces nationally. According to Out and Equal Workplace Advocates, a nonprofit that advocates for workplace equality for
LGBT people, one in four LGBT employees have reported they’ve experienced discrimination at work. Almost 30 percent of transgender people (either who have held a job or applied for work) have reported not being hired or denied a promotion because of their gender identity. Some states have laws to address these issues. In Nevada, gender identity and expression are protected classes, which is supposed to prevent employers from discriminating.
“This also covers the application process when people are applying for jobs,” said Rosa Mendez, a spokeswoman with the Nevada Equal Rights Commission. If a person feels they were discriminated against, they have 300 days from the time of the incident to bring a claim forward to the agency. Mendez said even if the person isn’t completely sure, they should still reach out to NERC just in case. “Everything is confidential,” she added. While there are mechanisms for people to file complaints, it’s still important for them to have access to employers who are accepting. The center enlisted companies it recognizes as LGBT friendly, such as MGM Resorts, Caesars Entertainment, Las Vegas Metro Police Department, the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas and Nike Las Vegas. Each place set up booths and had human resources coordinators answering questions from applicants. Among the booths was also Lambda Business Association, which is the LGBT Chamber of Commerce of Southern Nevada. Russ White, the executive director, is hoping to bring more economic development to the LGBT community and promote business ownership among them. “Since there is a high-level of discrimination, especially against trans people, having (LGBT-owned businesses) could open the door to offer employment opportunity in the community,” he said. It’s not just about finding work environments that accept LGBT people. It’s also about finding companies hiring at the moment—all the vendors at the April fair had job openings. “We are specifically looking for LGBT companies who are actively hiring,” Shearer said. “We had quite a few people who got to set up interviews.”
