BUSINESS NEWS

  • ➤ Eldorado Resorts has filed permits to remodel several floors of the Eldorado Reno Resort & Casino in downtown Reno at a total cost of $24 million—upgrades include suites in Sierra Tower and guest rooms in Virginia Tower.  Reno Gazette Journal

CRIME NEWS

  • ➤ On Sept. 1, a 72-year-old man was stabbed in his Sparks apartment and rushed to surgery for life-threatening injuries—police later arrested Makayln West, who now faces attempted murder and elder abuse charges.  Reno Gazette Journal
  • ➤ Washoe County Regional Animal Services is asking for help finding Miguel Olier—suspected of cruelty toward Prince, a black, long-haired Chihuahua/Spaniel mix missing his right hind leg after the September 3 incident on Nichols Boulevard in Sparks—and urges anyone with information to contact dispatch immediately.  2NEWS

DRINK NEWS

GOVERNMENT NEWS

  • ➤ Gun sales have halted in Reno since a cyberattack on August 24 crippled the state background check system that dealers use for concealed carry permits. Local gun shop owners report that transfers remain on hold and expect the backlog to be cleared once the system is restored — they say the delay affects customers and their constitutional rights.  KRNV
  • ➤ Today at Spanish Springs Library, the Citizen Advisory Board met with community members and experts from the Sheriff's Office and Search and Rescue — led by Darrell Billings — to discuss wildfire preparedness by packing emergency kits, planning safe evacuation spots, and taking steps like clearing brush and trimming trees to defend homes.  2NEWS

HEALTH NEWS

  • ➤ Pharmacies in Nevada such as CVS and Walgreens are not scheduling COVID vaccine appointments because state rules stop them from giving shots until a federal panel meets. Updated shots from Pfizer and Moderna are expected in late September—local centers can only offer limited last season’s vaccines until then—so Nevadans may face delays.  Reno Gazette Journal
