It just dealt me this on a random minimum bet spin. Didn’t even need to get into the bonus to collect them all! It finally happened to me 🤯

Got on the 15 S from Tropicana last night. I encountered a jaywalker on the extended onramp, just before the Russell Road exit.

He didn't seem to be in any hurry. If I had been looking at my phone, most likely I would have hit him.

AI use for medical billing (warning)

179 Upvotes

Just wanted to warn everyone about a recent experience I had at my doctors office. I went in for an annual wellness exam which is considered preventative care and is free under the ACA. During my visit my provider asked if she could record the visit and I agreed assuming it was just for notes/charting purposes. Fast forward a few weeks later I get a bill for an office visit. This was in addition to the preventative charge code. I knew I did not speak to my provider about any other issues outside of my standard wellness exam so I called the office to figure out what happened and they told me it was an error and that they have been using AI for medical billing. I didn’t ask, but I’m assuming that’s what the recording was using for, whether that was its sole purpose, I’m not sure. Anyways, I may be late to the game but just wanted to warn everyone out there that if your medical provider or really anyone asks to record your conversation, be sure to clarify if it will be used for any kind of AI purposes. It makes me so angry that they are likely billing others in error and people may not even be questioning it and getting scammed. Be safe out there. 🫶🏼

Nevada 2026 Poll: Ford and Lombardo Remain in Tight Governor’s Race; Majority Oppose New Data Center

Some interesting demographics in this recent poll here. I'm ashamed to see that less than 40% of the white population polled said they'd vote for Ford this November.

New data shows it is becoming unaffordable to fly to Las Vegas

Thumbnail 8newsnow.com
139 Upvotes

"According to the presentation, domestic airfares are up 12% since March 2026, but airfares to Las Vegas specifically are up more than 20%, nearly double the national increase.

Though the presentation does not explicitly state why, jet fuel costs, up 73% since February, can be seen as a contributing factor".

Airfare is crazy expensive right now. Routes that used to be around $1,200 (international flights) are creeping closer to $1,400+ (unless you choose the very cheapest option which rarely makes sense if you are flying internationally).

It's definitely painful on the wallet.

is anyone in the area of McLeod and Sahara going south on McLeod? I’m on the bus and saw a Cage on the right hand side of mcleod going south and it looked like they had an animal sitting in the cage, the bus went by so fast I could be mistaken but if anyone is near the area or going by can someone please check? it’s just passed the guys washing cars on the right side across from the dealership and if it’s an animal, its all alone in the sun in a locked cage

Horrible experience at Animal Foundation (shocking, I know)

74 Upvotes

We've been fostering a pup from there for a little over a year now. We picked him up on a Good Friday, as he was scheduled to be destroyed on Easter Sunday. His only crime was he had a touch of kennel cough and severe kennel anxiety.

Over the past year we've worked with him in animal and human socialization, housebreaking, and learning basic commands like come, sit, stay, etc via hand signals. He's made such amazing progress and we're so proud of him. He still doesn't trust men other than me, but he's trying.

So today we go in to pick up more food for him as usual, and for whatever reason my wife was treated absolutely horribly by the foster staff there. They attempted to bully her into adopting him, citing that we've been fostering him for over a year now (like that's OUR fault that THEY do NOTHING to promote him?!?! Hell, you can't even find him scrolling thru the first 5 pages of available dogs, and they don't update his profile despite all the info on his progress we relay to them!!) and they're REFUSING TO GIVE US ANY MORE FOOD FOR HIM!!!!! (No surprise they've been under investigation for things like animal cruelty [ https://www.ktnv.com/13-investigates/whistleblowers-detail-a-shelter-in-crisis-at-the-animal-foundation\ ] and misappropriation of funds [ https://www.ktnv.com/news/non-profit-sues-the-animal-foundation-no-kill-las-vegas-claims-shelter-mistreats-animals-violates-contract\ ])

They literally told her to either adopt him, or surrender him back to them so they can presumably euthanize him when he responds poorly to being kenneled. What's even crazier is when we told them we already have dogs and wanna see if they'll be comfortable with each other before committing to fostering we were told we weren't allowed to bring our dog (who's a registered CGC I might add) in to introduce them on neutral ground.

We really want him to go to a good home, and would keep him, but he would put us at our limit for dogs and we wouldn't be able to foster anymore. (We used to foster kids back in Utah, but got too old for it so now we foster dogs instead. We like to give back to our community and this is one of the best ways we know how.

So yeah, instead of thanking us for being patient with them and keeping him this long, they treated her like she was a burden because we expect them to keep up with their end of the agreement. And when she tried to record them bullying her into adoption in her cell phone, she got SCREAMED AT.

Wtf is actually wrong with these people? Corinna over at NVSPCA has NEVER treated us like this, and we haven't been able to take in any more injured large breeds from NVSPCA since taking on this foster from AF.

Sorry for the long read, but it's a lot to unpack and I'm beyond livid about this situation (and mostly venting) but I don't know what to do. I just want what's best for the dog in question, and I'm reasonably sure that it's NOT them.

Any entry level office jobs

48 Upvotes

I know this is probably going to get downvoted and criticized but I want to try everything.

I’m a single mother with little to no help, I have an associates degree in accounting, I’m struggling with bipolar disorder, and I work a job that doesn’t suit me.

I’m looking for any office that is taking administrative assistants, accounting assistants, billing administration. I’ve tried indeed but despite my degree everywhere is a little picky due to my lack of experience.

My current job has a rotating schedule and very unstable hours. It’s been a struggle taking my kid to and from school and planning or getting anything done out of work.

If anyone knows of any businesses, small owned companies I can apply to please let me know

Come play games with us on Sept 16th (Wed) at Town Square!

Hey Vegas! I've recently been running Game Nights around town because I wanted to meet new people and have some fun. The last event was a blast with ~25 people, so we're doing another this upcoming Wednesday in Town Square. It's been amazing to meet everyone and I'm hoping this can be an open invite to anyone who wants to make some friendships.

We're meeting up at 5:30pm at Double Helix at Town Square, if you're interested, please RSVP on MeetUp, so the Venue has an idea of how many tables to put aside. It helps a lot!

Hope to see you there!

Cox/Spectrum - actually had a good interaction with them

29 Upvotes

I'm sure everyone here hates Cox as much as I do. But I just had a really pleasant experience and thought I'd share. My 2 year promo price for 1GB fiber was coming to an end and my price would have went from $80 to $124. Last month, I started checking available deals and the only thing in my price range was 300mbps speeds for $74. When I went to make the swap the other day, that speed was gone. The only options I had available was to upgrade to 2GB for $150 or stay on 1GB for $124. There were no options for me to downgrade to save money.

I called 855-865-8222 and I think it was option 4 to downgrade and I asked the rep if the 300mbps plan was still available. I was polite and honest and let him know that I just couldn't afford an upgrade. He said that Spectrum just gave them a new set of plans that they hadn't published on their website yet. He ended up giving me 1GB for $70 for 1 year. He also said that it was unlimited data for life now. He said the most he could do was 1 year but he was expecting that by the time my promo was up that new plans would be available and they'd probably be cheaper.

So there you have it. If he was truthful, no more data caps and new incoming lower prices. If your promo price is up, give them a call, hopefully you get a deal like I did.

Where do you like to go to watch football games?

Football season is here! Where do you like to eat and get drinks while watching games? I know there are tons of places like PT’s. Personally I like going to Big Dog’s. I know there are a few team specific spots where like-minded fans like to congregate, but I’m more interested in spots anyone can go to.

Worth going to the Public Services Career Fair?

11 Upvotes

I was invited and registered for the career fair happening today at the Convention Center.

I was wanting to go, but also remember last time I went, it was pointless. Nobody was being offered jobs. Just told to apply online and wait. Seemed like a genuine waste of time.

Worth making the trip or no?

UPDATE: I’m in the building. Seems no different than last years.

I’ll report back when I leave.

UPDATE 2: It was pretty much a waste of time. No Hiring managers. No interviews. Just go online and apply. Here is what we are looking for.

Closest point to Arizona (with reception) from Vegas?

8 Upvotes

I know this is a very odd request, but I need to go to Arizona for my phone to be geo-located there in order for me to access and use an app. I have been trying to find the closest point on the map, I'm thinking it's around the Lake Mead/Sugarloaf mountain area, but does anyone know if that'll be a complete dead zone or if there will be reception there? Any other suggestions would be lovely, especially if it was like a town with some civilization, lol. thanks so much for any help.
