Ice Age Fossils State Park

One of Nevada’s newest state parks has received a $3.5 million grant to help complete its outdoor amenities. With this grant, the park—located just north of Downtown Las Vegas—will open to the public later this year.

The park’s visitor center will feature fossils and artifacts and interactive exhibits. Hiking trails will have interpretive panels and shade structures, also. The 315-acre park features a portion of the upper Las Vegas wash rich in both paleontological and historical resources. During the Ice Age, the wash provided verdant habitat for several species of nowextinct mammals including Columbian mammoths, American lions, camels, dire wolves, and ground sloths.

All around Nevada, you’ll find exciting things happening. This issue, we’ve got big news from Las Vegas!

The Beverly Theater

The city’s newest independent film house and performance theater is open for business. The Beverly Theater hosts film festivals, concerts, firstrun indie films, poetry readings, author events, and so much more. Located in Downtown, the Beverly’s mission is to bring uncommon cinematic, literary, and live experiences to the city.

The Lexi

A new hotel concept has opened in Las Vegas. The Lexi— formerly the Artisan Hotel Boutique—has opened after a multi-million-dollar renovation, and it’s offering a twist. The new 64-room hotel is the city’s first cannabis-friendly property. The hotel’s fourth floor will have a special filtration system that will allow guests to use cannabis in their rooms. The rest of the property, including the pool and restaurant, are cannabis free.
