Casino MonteLago Celebrates a Year Since Reopening

Casino MonteLago Celebrates a Year Since Reopening

A year ago, Casino MonteLago reopened at Lake Las Vegas after shutting down because of the recession.

A lot has changed in that year. More shops at the Village at Lake Las Vegas are opening and real estate values are up 14 percent. The resorts on the lake, including The Westin Lake Las Vegas Resort, Hotel Ravella and Casino MonteLago, are working together to keep people visiting.

“The cooperation between the village, the casino and the hotels is at an all time high. Where as before when everything was high times everyone could sequester themselves into their own little world. Now, we all recognize we all have to pull together,” CEO of Casino MonteLago Jon Berkley said. 

Weekends brings in more traffic. Free concerts on Fridays and Saturdays means more people walking through the casino and playing. Plus, more foot traffic in the village with people shopping.

DA Gets Case Against Former Henderson City Councilwoman

LAS VEGAS -- Las Vegas police have given the Clark County District Attorney their case against former Henderson City Councilwoman Kathleen Vermillion.

An official at the DA's office says the case is under review and there is no estimated time frame of when that review will be completed or when a decision will be made.

In January, Clark County Commissioner Steve Sisolak filed a criminal complaint against Vermillion, who is his ex-girlfriend, alleging that she tried to extort $3.9 million from him.

Vermillion is also under scrutiny for misappropriating money at the charity she founded called Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth.

Graduates Optimistic Despite Pessimistic Job Market

HENDERSON, Nev. - Each college graduate at Nevada State College's commencement Friday night has something that makes getting a degree that much more special.

"It's exciting. I'm actually the first in my family to graduate, so I mean that's a big accomplishment for me," said graduate Magaly Hernandez. "I'm really excited and happy. It was a lot to go through, but this moment makes it worthwhile."

"It means a lot actually. It was a very long, excruciating journey in nursing school," said graduate Shantel White.

"I'm proud of my accomplishments," added graduate Michael Intinarelli. "I worked really hard to get here, but maybe it just feels surreal. That's the best word for it."

Nevada State College graduated its largest class ever Friday night. The workforce now has a new crop of nurses, psychologists, and educators to choose from, but that doesn't mean those jobs are available.

Judge Rules on Henderson Dog's Future

LAS VEGAS -- A Nevada judge ruled against a temporary injunction by an animal activist group trying to save the life of a dog that fatally mauled a 1-year-old boy. The group plans to file an appeal.

The New York based Lexus Project wants ownership of the dog, named Onion, so it can be sent it to an animal sanctuary instead of euthanized. Currently, the dog is in the possession of the City of Henderson. The child's grandmother gave up ownership to Henderson Animal Control. The dog was deemed vicious and scheduled to be euthanized until the Lexus Project took up the cause.

The family pet attacked and killed Jeremiah Eskew-Shahan on April 27. The judge found that the group had no legal right to try to save the dog's life. 

Several people gathered outside the Regional Justice Center Friday morning prior to the hearing and voiced their opinions on what should happen to the dog.
