¡Hola, Nevadenses!

Did you notice today’s date could be a math equation? 5 x 5 = 25. And it’s Cinco de Mayo! If you’re looking to go out today, here are 16 Nevada restaurants with delicious deals today. 

Mother’s Day is this upcoming weekend. And it’s not always that May 10, when Latin America celebrates Día de las Madres, lines up with the US Mother’s Day which falls on the more fluid “second Sunday in May.” 

If you need inspiration of where to take mom out to eat this weekend, check out this list of the 10 best farm-to-table restaurants in Nevada.

Have a good week!

The best thing about Vegas is that it doesn’t matter if you’re a local or a tourist—you can always find a new bar or restaurant to try. If you’re looking for a more elevated experience than your traditional night on the town, these five rooftop bars and restaurants are exactly what you’re looking for. 

My personal faves mentioned:

– Legacy Club, located on the 60th floor of Circa in downtown Las Vegas.

– BrewDog, on the Strip.

Not mentioned but if you like to dance: Commonwealth on Fremont Street. 

Holding a sign outside the Paris Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Peter Kulkin, an attorney and former New York City Court Judge, underscored the importance of the rule of law, voicing concerns about President Donald Trump’s defiance of the Supreme Court and warning of authoritarian threats to American democracy. Kulkin said that without the rule of law, everything from our economy to our personal freedoms is at risk.

The protest held May 1, in honor of May Day and International Workers Day, was part of a national mobilization to demand justice, protections, and investment in people over profit. 

Late Thursday night, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to end public funding for National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcast Services (PBS) to stop what he called “biased and partisan news coverage.”

It’s unclear whether the president has the legal authority to make such decisions. PBS President and CEO Paula Kerger called it “blatantly unlawful Executive Order, issued in the middle of the night.”

Millions of people rely on local NPR and PBS stations for quality programming and emergency services in times of crisis, especially in rural areas where our broadcast is one of the only reliable sources of emergency communications.

Congress allocated $535 million for Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) for the current fiscal year. According to CPB, Congress has fully funded it through Sept 30, 2027.

“This is not about balancing the federal budget. The appropriation for public broadcasting, including NPR and PBS, represents less than 0.0001% of the federal budget,” said Katherine Maher, NPR President and CEO, in a statement.
