A San Diego investment firm was the winning bidder for the historic Mizpah Hotel in Tonopah, which went on the auction block Sept. 16. Deftco Corp., represented by Joseph F. Dau, got the long-closed hotel for more than $500,000.
"We are going...
So, with a few teams now regularly ranked in the Top 25, the Mountain West Conference has been chittering lately that it deserves more national respect for its football and basketball programs. But the conference won't get that recognition until all...
Clark County Commission Chairman Rory Reid is on the campaign trail. He was at a Reno park on Saturday shaking hands and denouncing the lack of leadership exhibited by Gov. Jim Gibbons. Check out the Reno Gazette-Journal's story here.
People in Las...
Where have you been, President Obama? It's clear after tonight's excellent speech to a joint session of Congress that your relative absence from the health care reform debate has been the primary problem in pushing a workable bill forward. We could...
Just watched President Obama's speech to students today, and I am shocked and outraged by his brazen attempt to indoctrinate our impressionable young Americans with his Red agenda. Here are just a few of the detestable comments the president...
Two thoughts on Saturday's resignation of Van Jones, President Obama's green jobs adviser:
1. The Obama administration did a poor job of vetting this appointment. Considering his past record of activism, Jones was certain to be a lightning rod....
The Mizpah Hotel, the most famous building in Tonopah, always subject to comment and speculation as motorists roll through the old mining town en route to Reno or Las Vegas, is set to be auctioned Sept. 16, according to the Tonopah...
I spent my first 11 years in Wisconsin and became a Packers fan at a very young age. It was the 1970s, when the Packers weren't very good, so it wasn't easy as a kid not to defect to John Madden's Raiders or Terry Bradshaw and the Steelers. But I...
I'm not one of those journalists who gets a lot of scoops. Too much navel gazing. But I have a little one today.
A few months ago, Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada closed its two thrift stores, one on the northeast corner of East Tropicana...
A fairly compelling case can be made that the $787 billion stimulus package is not having the desired effect.
Some signs indicate the recession has hit bottom and the economy may be on the way back up. Let’s hope those signs are right.
But...
If a reporter happens to be driving through Mina, Nev., on U.S. 95 north of Tonopah, and has his or her eyes open, he or she will find a story. Ashley Powers of the Los Angeles Times is the latest to hit the brakes and find out more about the town's...
Politico.com reports that the National Republican Senatorial Committee has spent $1 million on Sen. Norm Coleman's quixotic legal efforts to defeat Democratic challenger Al Franken. The case is sitting with the Minnesota Supreme Court, which almost...
The author Sally Denton, who grew up in Southern Nevada, writes an occasional blog for The Daily Beast, the new-ish website run by longtime magazine diva Tina Brown (Vanity Fair, The New Yorker).
In her latest entry, Denton, author of several works...
Not much good can come from Sen. John Ensign's admission that he had an affair. This kind of thing obviously is hardest on the senator's family, but it affects staffers and constituents as well.
That said, I would suggest one small positive effect:...
I spent all day Tuesday on the Strip and on Fremont Street, and all I can tell you is that both places were swamped with tourists. In the evening, Fremont Street was packed as visitors perused the street vendors, tapped their feet to an Elvis...
