You wanna see her move? I think that's the fun part. The room is thick with anticipation and fabricated skulls. She's gonna wake up. Give her a second. Matt McMullen eyes his creation as her eyes flutter open in return, her gaze settling upon all the disembodied faces and mechanical mandibles surrounding her in this workshop where fake hair co-mingles with real ambition.
A dangerous weekend across valley roadways is raising even more concern for local advocates who, for years, have been calling for change and safer roadways. Updated Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department traffic statistics show pedestrian crashes and fatalities have more than doubled from where they were this time last year.
Amid a world of evolving AI, a Las Vegas man brings his creations to life.
The word “highway” invokes the image of a road with a high-speed limit, connecting two cities with little to no foot traffic, and initially, Boulder Highway was just that, however, after years of development safety activists point out the name might be causing some drivers to go beyond the limit.
When driving past a middle school in the Las Vegas Valley, you may notice a new addition: crossing guards are now officially stationed at middle schools in Clark County during morning and evening hours.
Several factors impact solar panel prices, but our research found that the average solar system for a 2,000-square-foot home is roughly $31,460. If that cost seems out of your budget, don’t worry — this figure is before applying valuable solar incentives that can shave off thousands.

The end of the school year is nearing which means thousands of parents in the Las Vegas valley will be looking for camp options for their children over the summer months. It’s never too early to start planning because many camps are already accepting registrations and some fill up fast.
Yazmin Martinez, a Ph.D. candidate in computer science at the ҳ| 鶹ýӳ, was recognized as the 2023 doctoral student of the year by the Pacific Southwest Region University Center for her innovative research methods and achievements.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is investigating its 46th traffic-related death so far in 2024. During the first three months of 2023, 16 pedestrians lost their lives in Clark County streets. This year, the number of pedestrian fatalities has doubled to 32 during that same period.
This weekend teams from across the Valley and around the world will meet on the field of battle to put their robots to the test. The teams are made up completely of high school students, with the help of some very special mentors sent to them from UNLV. FOX5 caught up with one team to learn more about the competition, and the bonds formed while building robots and futures.
UNLV student mentors are assisting high school robotics teams to compete in the Las Vegas Regional FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC). The international robotics competition has teams producing robots to compete against other teams in a game that changes with every tournament. This year involves collecting “notes”, orange, foam rings, and shooting them into goals.
