John L Smith and Heather Harmon on Elaine Wynn.
Remembering Las Vegas resort leader and philanthropist Elaine Wynn
Elaine Wynn, who, with her ex-husband Steve Wynn, co-founded Mirage Resorts and Wynn Resorts, has died at age 82. She made as much of an impact in the Las Vegas community as she did on the Strip.

My chat with Las Vegas artist James Stanford.
How artist and author James Stanford was influenced by an atomic Las Vegas

How and what do you recycle in Southern Nevada? We'll tell you

Two standout films this year put Las Vegas in the spotlight
Ocean’s 11. Mars Attacks. The Hangover. Las Vegas is no stranger to the big screen. Especially when it comes to spectacle movies, broad comedies, and camp films.
