Few hospitals. A shortage of medical professionals. 300,000 rural Nevadans face major health-care challenges.
A year ago an Idaho family was traveling on spring break in rural Nye County when they were hit head-on by a driver, high on meth and fentanyl. Three people died, and two survived. Newly released body cam footage shows the cops had stopped the driver an hour before, suspected he was under the influence, and let him go.
Cassie McCarthy is shy and introverted, but in the ring she becomes what she always wanted to be.
Deverynn Bryant yearns to bring the Moulin Rouge back to life. The resort on Bonanza Road was the first racially integrated hotel and casino in the United States. Black performers on the Strip, who were barred from eating or staying at the resorts where they played, made the Moulin Rouge an all-night party spot for the six short months it was open in 1955 before closing in bankruptcy. Bryant visits the abandoned property often, sitting, listening to music, collecting mementos. West Las Vegas was headed toward becoming an area to celebrate black culture and black-owned businesses when the Moulin Rouge opened. Its closure stifled that momentum, he says. “The story of the Moulin Rouge is the story of me, the story of my people.” Bryant believes restoring the property can start a positive new chapter for black history in Las Vegas.
