Nevada Casinos Report Record October Win

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

bestbets_vegas_90.jpgA state Gaming Control Board report shows that the win, driven by losses by high-stakes baccarat players in Las Vegas Strip megaresorts, gave the clubs a statewide gain of nearly 10 percent over the same month a year earlier.

The $1.16 billion win eclipses the previous month-over-month record of $1.15 billion set in July.

Las Vegas-area casino action accounted for $1 billion of the total, and marked the first time the southern Nevada resorts hit that level.

But the southern Nevada gains didn’t extend to the Reno-Tahoe area in northern Nevada.

Beat the Traffic!

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

We debuted a new "real time" traffic system today on Eyewitness News This Morning.  It’s the valley’s only system that can show you REAL time traffic conditions on the highways.  You will be able to actually see the traffic speeds on the highways.  You will be able to glance at the T.V. and see if there is a slow down that affects your commute!

Green flows mean speeds are at 45 mph or above.  Yellow shows speeds of 45 mph to 30 mph.  And, Red shows 30 mph or under.  If you are seeing a red highlighted highway.. you will probably want to take another route. 

The system allows us to fly around the valley…. it even lets us fly over the California and Arizona border to show traffic conditions.  It really is unique.  Beat the Traffic will help us more accuratley point out traffic conditions.

You can also get this information on the internet… 24 hours a day!  Just click on our traffic page.
