- Description
- Two conversations, 20 years apart, represent the tent posts of Denise Valdez’s career in Las Vegas.
The first was on the phone as Valdez drove to Las Vegas from Los Angeles to start her career at KLAS, Channel 8. The second was again on the phone, as Valdez ran errands just after announcing she is ending her broadcast career.
Her decision to walk away was simple.
“I think it’s time for me to step away from an industry that’s changing so quickly, and I’d like to go out on my own terms,” Valdez said Tuesday afternoon. “This was a perfect opportunity to do that.”
Valdez is bowing out after 20 years at KLAS, the past 11 years as evening anchor. Her final newscast will be Oct. 22. Brian Loftus and Kirsten Joyce have joined Valdez as co-host in the nighttime broadcasts.
She is the second prominent, veteran broadcaster to leave KLAS in the past six months. Sherry Swensk, who spent more than 30 years at the statio...

- A government-funded on-the-job training program is helping some Las Vegas businesses cover the cost of training new employees, an effort Acting U.S. Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling highlighted Tuesday during a visit to the Vegas Chamber.
Sonderling toured the EmployNV Business Hub, an American Job Center housed inside the chamber’s downtown Las Vegas office, and spoke with local employers who have used its hiring and training programs.
He said getting employers more involved in workforce programs can better match training with the jobs businesses are trying to fill.
“As employers are creating these jobs, they know the exact skills and what the job descriptions are,” he said.
The hub connects employers with government-funded workforce services, including On-the-Job Training, or OJT, which can reimburse businesses for a portion of the wages paid to workers while they are being trained.

- Description
- Frank Sinatra was making news for all the wrong reasons ahead of his Las Vegas performing debut.
The weeks leading up to that first show — Sept. 4, 1951, inside the Painted Desert Room at the Desert Inn — were filled with tabloid-worthy stories about his relationship with the twice-divorced screen siren Ava Gardner. The problem? Sinatra was still married to Nancy, the mother of his three children.
When the couple vacationed in Mexico the month before, gossipy wire service reports were built around tales of screaming matches Sinatra had with reporters as well as threats by his bodyguard to shoot a photographer. Divulging the name of their hotel and their adjacent room numbers only added to the lurid nature of the stories.
It didn’t help matters that those first Las Vegas concerts stemmed from Sinatra’s desire to rid himself of Nancy so he could marry the movie star.

- One of the country’s largest casino operators has scheduled a shareholder vote for next month on a multibillion-dollar acquisition that would take the company private.
Caesars Entertainment Inc. shareholders will vote Sept. 22 on billionaire Tilman Fertitta’s $17.6 billion takeover of the gaming giant, according to a definitive proxy statement filed Tuesday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Reno-based Caesars scheduled the special shareholder meeting for 9 a.m. at the Eldorado Resort & Casino in Reno. Shareholders of record as of Aug. 21 will vote on Fertitta’s $31-per-share, all-cash acquisition, which, if approved, would ultimately end its run as a publicly traded company.
Approval requires support from holders of a majority of Caesars’ roughly 203.8 million outstanding shares. The company’s board is recommending shareholders approve the transaction.

- Las Vegas’ home of lederhosen, huge beer steins and German dishes such as schweinebraten is up for sale.
The Hofbräuhaus Las Vegas building, a mile east of the Strip, is on the market for $16.2 million, as seen in marketing materials released last week by brokerage firm Colliers.
The offering is for the real estate only and does not include the business itself, said Colliers broker Deana Marcello, who added that a sale of the building will not affect the beer hall operations.
As she described it, in an email, selling the building gives the ownership group the “opportunity to explore the market for their real estate investment while maintaining the Hofbräuhaus brand and operations at the property.”
Located at the southeast corner of Paradise Road and Harmon Avenue, the distinctive Bavarian-style building was constructed more than 20 years ago and stands out in Las Vegas, especially compared to the low-slung strip malls at the s...

The new series is currently known as “Untitled Male Friendship Show,” according to Deadline.
The outlet described the comedy as focusing on “a 30-year-old barber, aspiring sports manager and professional best friend” to a young fighter “as they navigate ambition, insecurity, loneliness and the double-edged sword of success within the high-stakes world of professional boxing in Las Vegas.”
“Insecure” ran from 2016 to 2021. Rae, showrunner Prentice Penny, who’ll oversee the new series, and cast members will take the stage at The Palazzo Theatre on Sept. 25 as part of “...

- For decades, Donny Osmond has collected testimonials about a different kind of Osmond Brothers song.
James Hetfield of Metallica told Osmond the band covered this track in an old set list. The tune was a favorite of the late Ozzy Osbourne. Duran Duran frontman Simon Le Bon has confessed he loves the single.
It is not “Puppy Love.” It’s “Crazy Horses,” a thunderous rocker that reached No. 2 on the U.K. charts (12 spots higher than the U.S.). Osmond has recalled that fans who turned out for concerts in Europe were primarily long-maned, jeans-wearing rockers expecting more Allman Brothers than Osmond Brothers.
“We’ve had all these people saying they we’re such closet fans of the Osmonds,” Osmond says. “Simon Le Bon told me, ‘It’s just not cool to to say that we used to like the Osmonds, but “Crazy Horses” was just so out of the realm of who we thought the Osmonds were.’”

Golden Nugget Las Vegas has added 3-Dice Yahtzee to its gaming floor, becoming the first casino in Las Vegas to offer the table game, according to Galaxy Gaming, the game’s developer.
The house-banked game pits two sets of three dice against each other, with players wagering on whether the Red or Blue side will win, or whether the two sides will tie.
“There’s a reason Yahtzee has been a favorite around kitchen tables for generations, and we wanted to bring that same fun to the casino pit,” said Tyler Knight, director of product management at Galaxy Gaming. “3-Dice Yahtzee takes the excitement of Yahtzee and turns it into a fast, head-to-head table game. Golden Nugget is our first Las Vegas installation, and after seeing how well players in other markets have taken to it, we think Las Vegas is going to love it too.”
