An intersection in central Las Vegas came to the attention of the News 3 team due to the lack of a crosswalk. The intersection is at the corner of Naples and Paradise, an area home to trendy bars and lots of pedestrian traffic.
Nevada is taking its first serious steps toward exploring a potential merger of its gaming and cannabis industries, as policymakers and industry leaders discuss how these two major sectors can legally co-exist. A recent panel hosted by the ҳ| 鶹ýӳ (UNLV) brought this conversation into the spotlight, as reported by Kolo.
For the first time the ҳ| 鶹ýӳ is debuting a mariachi program exploring the traditional Mexican folk music that originated in the late 1800s. “The culture is just so rich. The music is one of the most beautiful kinds of music I’ve heard in my life,” Stephen Blanco, director of mariachi for UNLV’s School of Music, said.
Of the over 30,000 students that flocked to the first day of UNLV classes on Monday, some returned to the building where three professors lost their lives last year for the first time since. Frank and Estella Beam Hall holds the Lee Business School, where classes have not been held since December 6, 2023. The deadly shooting provoked $5.1 million in security upgrades, including $2.6 million to hire private security officers for the fall semester.
“By taking an apprenticeship approach to workforce development, we’re removing barriers for individuals who are already committed to education in their communities across the state,” said UNLV College of Education Dean Danica Hays. “This program expedites teacher preparation without sacrificing quality and allows students to continue earning a paycheck while they learn. In addition, thanks to grant funding, our students have no out-of-pocket costs and can start their careers debt-free.”
Nevada, she said, would have a leg up in applying for funding. Why? Because it already has a program that fits the mold. On Monday afternoon, Cortez Masto visited UNLV, where Nevada Forward Initiative first started (originally called Paraprofessional Pathways Project) in 2021. The program has since been expanded into an undergraduate and graduate program, offering apprenticeships to people on their path to becoming licensed teachers.
UNLV is hoping to sell Sam Boyd Stadium, even though the property was given to the university at no cost. The university invested millions of dollars to upgrade the stadium throughout the years. Now it's hoping to get some of that investment back.
