The Gates of Hell are located in Las Vegas just off the 215 Beltway and next to a pop-up pumpkin patch in a parking lot near Ikea.

Satanist nun Sister Mary, a stark red cross on her forehead, recruits bewildered passersby to meet their deaths and the devil himself in an immersive haunted house hosted by Freakling Bros Horror Shows and open through Halloween.

Actor Abigail Fitzgerald, who plays Sister Mary, has been with Freakling Bros since 2013. In its 29th year, the horror show company has three haunts available: Coven of 13, Gates of Hell and Castle Vampyre. Unlimited passes start at $50.

Sister Mary is a performance Fitzgerald has embodied since 2016, when she switched from Castle Vampyre, a family friendly haunted vampires castle, to Gates of Hell. The third haunt at the companys Trilogy of Terror is Coven of 13, a dark crawl through a witchs domain.

Set up like a long, curving hallway with a few spooky stops along the way, the haunts place actors intermittently throughout to carry the narrative and direct the group. Gates of Hell is Freakling Bros and Nevadas only R-rated horror house.

At the front of Gates of Hell, Fitzgerald adheres to a script that she said may change per group. She lays out the rules and, importantly, provides a safe word, the only thing that can stop the gruesome show, where the actors can roughhouse and scream absurdities at attendees.

Shes standing out there for all of eternity to try to convert those to Satanism and to follow Lucifer and, you know, damn their souls to Hell, Fitzgerald said.

Another character, the sensual Succubus, played by Joanna Chestnut, is the final performance the group sees before facing the Devil, who slithers close to participants before chasing them out of the haunt. Chestnut, draped in a pink dress, said not many people reach her portion of the hall because they shout the safe word and opt out.

Im really sweet and seductive to get them to come over to me, and then I yell at them, put them in their place, and then I send them to go meet the Devil, Chestnut said.

Like stage actors, hot tea, apple cider vinegar and rest are pre-show essentials, Chestnut and Fitzgerald said. One other key step is the actors makeup, which can vary every year but stays consistent per character through the season.

Makeup artist Anna Prager said she designs the characters looks with the managers of each haunted house, drawing from the characters real-life counterparts as well as leaning into their fantasy elements. Doing all the actors makeup takes approximately two hours, she said, a process she has enjoyed for its creativity.

Creating all these monsters, crazy characters, and seeing the makeup that I designed really come to life with the actors adding the dialogue to it, its really, really fun, Prager said.

Partners Autumn and Jared Harper, visiting from Ogden, Utah, waited in line for Castle Vampyre Oct. 21. Jared, a former Las Vegas resident, said he enjoys Castle Vampyre for the childhood nostalgia it provides.

This brings back a lot of memories of growing up, he said. It was the thing to do for a date or [with] members of the family. Its always been a blast.

This was Autumns second visit to the Trilogy of Terror, and she recalled the intensity and thrill of Gates of Hell.

It was way different than just walking through a haunted house, much more interactive, she said. Youre around people who love it, and the environments just fun.

The attraction opens at 7 p.m. nightly at 6555 S. Riley Street.

Food and drinks are also available near the haunted houses through food truck Alpha Dawg Gourmet and mobile bar Trixie's.

Unholy trinity: Freakling Bros offers horror enthusiasts scare of their lives - Las Vegas Sun

A sign directs people where to vote at a polling place during early voting in Las Vegas, Oct. 30, 2020. Donald Hartle, a Las Vegas businessman, is facing criminal charges of voting twice in the November 2020 election, including with his dead wifes ballot, Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford announced Thursday, Oct. 21,2021.

Tuesday, Oct. 26, 2021 | 2 a.m.

For Stop the steal Republicans, recent events in Nevada and Pennsylvania reveal a couple of inconvenient truths about voter fraud.

One is that when cheating occurs, which is rare, cases are investigated and violators are prosecuted. That was evidenced last week by an announcement from Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford that charges had been filed against a Las Vegas man for allegedly casting more than one ballot, and by news that Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick had paid a Pennsylvania poll worker a bounty he had offered for evidence of fraudulent voting.

But contrary to the rights false claims that Democratic voters are committing voter fraud on a scale sufficient to flip an election, the two isolated violations were both allegedly committed by Republicans. They involved two fraudulent votes in total.

In Nevada, the defendant is Donald Kirk Hartle, 55, who was charged with two felonies after allegedly voting twice in the 2020 presidential election, including with the ballot of his deceased wife, Rosemarie. Hartle is an executive with Ahern Rentals Inc., whose owner, Donald Ahern, also owns the off-strip Ahern Hotel, which was the site of an event last weekend for QAnon sympathizers and right-wing extremists.

As for Patricks bounty money, $25,000 of it went to a Pennsylvanian who caught a Republican voting twice. The violator was Ralph Thurman, 72, who pleaded guilty in September to voting once with his own ballot and a second time using his sons name.

Patrick had offered between $25,000 and $1 million of campaign cash for violations, and apparently gave the poll worker the minimum because the larger awards were being reserved for bigger fish.

The poll worker, Eric Frank, said he felt he got the minimum because the case he uncovered involved a GOP voter and not a Democrat.

Good assessment, Mr. Frank.

The reality about the Big Lie is that it was investigated in state after state after state, and not a single one found evidence of substantial fraud that would have changed the outcome of the election.

Meanwhile, its become common to discover that Republicans, not Democrats, are behind the few cases of voter fraud that occur.

That outcome is an essential goal of the Big Lie. By promoting the falsehood, Republican leaders are trying to normalize the idea of voter fraud and provide a permission structure for their followers to commit fraud themselves. The delusion goes like this: The other side is doing it, so we should too. This is how democracies die, and voter fraud charges are the stock-in-trade for would-be dictators across the world for precisely this reason.

Thats certainly the case in Nevada. This year, for instance, 53-year-old Craig Frank of Las Vegas pleaded guilty to voting in both Arkansas and Clark County during the 2016 election. Frank was granted two years probation under a plea bargain. And in the 2012 election, 56-year-old Las Vegas resident Roxanne Rubin was arrested while trying to vote twice at two different polls. Rubin said her purpose in attempting to cast two ballots was to show how easy it would be to commit voter fraud with just a signature. Instead, she demonstrated how effective existing voter integrity measures are. Like Frank, she also pleaded guilty under a plea deal, in which she agreed to pay nearly $2,500 to the state, perform community service and complete an impulse control course.

There have been other examples of voter fraud and irregularities, but nothing on the scale that the proponents of the Big Lie would have Americans believe. For example, the GOP alleged that the ballots of 1,506 dead people were cast in Nevada in the 2020 election, but Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske a Republican concluded after a review that 10 such cases had occurred. Cegavskes office referred all 10 of those cases for prosecution. The party affiliation of those 10 are not yet known.

This brings up another reality of voter integrity: The system is overseen by election officials and volunteers, both Republican and Democrat, who are committed to maintaining fair and accurate elections. Its abhorrent that in promoting the Big Lie, GOP leadership is impugning the work of these individuals and vilifying them to the point where they and their families are being subjected to threats and intimidation by crazed extremists and members of violent right-wing groups.

Can security within the system be improved? Of course. But good, dedicated people are working every day to do that in Nevada and across the country.

On the other hand, Republican primaries are filling up with atrocious candidates like Nevadas Adam Laxalt, who are either actively promoting the Big Lie or are refusing to disavow it.

Laxalt, whos seeking the Senate seat held by Catherine Cortez Masto, openly attempted to subvert the will of Nevada voters by filing a series of bogus lawsuits on the 2020 election results as Donald Trumps capo in the Silver State.

As reported Friday by The Washington Posts Philip Bump, Laxalt and his clan used Rosemarie Hartle as an example of dead people voting in Nevada to support their claim of widespread voter fraud.

Remember that the next time you hear Laxalt or anyone like him attacking voter integrity.

Another worrisome candidate is Jim Marchant, a former Republican lawmaker whos running for secretary of state, with Cegavske having termed out. Marchant was a leading GOP figure promoting the Big Lie in 2020 and now is using it as the tent pole in his campaign. The thought of such a person becoming Nevadas top elections leader is deeply troubling.

In addition, the crowded field in the GOP primary for governor contains fervent Big Lie proponents and others who are refusing to call it a fallacy. The latter were looking at you, former Sen. Dean Heller, Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo and North Las Vegas Mayor John Lee are just as culpable in spreading the lie as those who are actively promoting it, as they have the ability to counter it with the truth but refuse to do so.

Thanks to responsible election officials and judicious minds in Nevada courts, the likes of Laxalt and Marchant failed and democracy prevailed here. For now.

But voters must not forget what these GOP forces tried to do render their ballots useless and tip the state to a candidate they rejected, all based on a complete fallacy and driven by self interest.

They also must remember the truth about voting integrity. Not only have Republicans not being victimized by massive voter fraud, they often are the perpetrators in the few cases that occur.

If you would have told any fan of the Las Vegas Raiders that they would be 5-2 heading into their bye week, they'd probably be pretty happy with that result.

Going into the details of everything the team has gone through to reach that point, it makes it even more remarkable to say they're tied for the best record in the AFC.

The resignation of former head coach Jon Gruden is of course one of, if not the biggest story to come out of the NFL so far this season.

His departure and all of the negative aspects behind it could have torpedoed the Raiders season, but instead, it has seemed to galvanize them.

One thing that's been constant the whole way has been the Raiders deep passing attack that's been arguably the best in the league.

Quarterback Derek Carr is on pace to have the most prolific season of his career, firmly putting to rest his moniker as being a check-down artist.

He's seen his young receiving core take a big jump, as the Raiders were the only team entering last Sunday with four receivers having 300 yards or more.

That group of tight-end Darren Waller and receivers Henry Ruggs III, Bryan Edwards, and Hunter Renfrow have quickly become one of the better ones in the league.

They've been able to mask a largely ineffective running game, impacted both by injuries and offensive line struggles.

Defensively, coordinator Gus Bradley has engineered a significant turnaround that has seen the Raiders defense only have three sacks less than they had all of last season.

Maxx Crosby and Yannick Ngakoue have formed a potent partnership at the defensive end, and the performance at the second and third levels of the defense has been much better.

The Raiders look like a team that has a lot more balance on both sides of the ball, something that teams that make the playoffs often have.

Reflecting On The Raiders Season So Far - Sports Illustrated

Dive Brief:

The Boring Co.'s first commercial project was in Las Vegas, constructing the roughly 1-mile-long loop at the Las Vegas Convention Center for $52.5 million. This system, which was completed in February 2020, will connect to the proposed loop.

No price for the larger loop has been disclosed, and the entire project will be privately funded by The Boring Co., which is owned by entrepreneur Elon Musk. Before it can build out stations, the company will need to get separate permits for each of the stops along the strip. The construction will be done in phases, according to company president Steve Davis. Once a station is complete, it will come online.

Early plans indicate building out as many as 10 stations within the first six months of construction beginning. After that, The Boring Co. would add 15 to 20 stations each year until the project is complete.

When finished, the project is expected to transport 57,000 passengers an hour, Davis told the Review-Journal. A 3.6-mile ride from the Las Vegas Convention Center to Allegiant Stadium would take roughly four minutes and cost $6.

The Boring Co. has three years to complete construction. Thereafter, the company will need to pay the county a quarterly franchise fee based on revenue.

Drone racing championship coming to the Strip next year - Las Vegas Review-Journal

Published Tuesday, Oct. 26, 2021 | 1:10 p.m.

Updated 1 hour, 11 minutes ago

Stocks held on to modest gains on Wall Street Tuesday, pushing the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average further into record heights. The S&P 500 added 0.2% and the Dow edged up less than 0.1%. The Nasdaq also rose less than 0.1%. Solid earnings from several companies helped push stock prices higher. UPS jumped 6.9% after the package delivery service reported results that easily beat analysts forecasts. Facebook fell 3.9% following a weak sales forecast and increasing scrutiny over its corporate practices. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 1.61%.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. APs earlier story follows below.

Stocks rose in afternoon trading on Wall Street Tuesday and pushed major indexes further into record heights as investors review mostly solid company earnings.

The S&P 500 index rose 0.3% as of 3:28 p.m. Eastern and is hovering just above the record high it set on Monday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 86 points, or 0.3%, to 35,828 and is also just above its record high. The Nasdaq rose 0.1%.

Technology stocks did much of the heavy lifting for the broader market. Health care stocks and a mix of companies that rely on consumer spending for goods and services also made solid gains.

Communications stocks fell. Facebook shed 4.4% after giving investors a weak sales forecast. The company is also facing scrutiny over its seemingly lax regulation of harmful and misleading information on its platform.

Bond yields were mostly higher, though the yield on the 10-year Treasury slipped to 1.62% from 1.63% from late Monday.

Solid earnings reports helped lift several major companies. UPS jumped 7.5% as higher shipping rates helped the package delivery service easily beat analyst's third-quarter profit forecasts. Hasbro rose 3.7% after the maker of Transformers, My Little Pony and other toys reported solid financial results.

Stocks have been pushing broadly higher as companies turn in much stronger profit reports for the summer than analysts had expected.

Right now, valuations are high and the market needs some reassurance from corporate earnings, said Ernesto Ramos, chief investment officer in the U.S. for BMO Global Asset Management. There are still plenty of risks out there, but the market is focusing on the good things right now.

Investors received several encouraging economic updates on Tuesday. U.S. consumer confidence rose in October after three straight declines as the publics anxiety about the delta variant of the coronavirus appear to have abated. New home sales jumped 14% in September to the fastest pace in six months as strong demand helped offset rising prices.

The broader market is also reacting well to signals that big spending plans in Washington and potential tax increases for companies will likely be diluted, Ramos said.

Wall Street is still concerned about how much of an impact supply chain problems will have on a wide range of industries. Many companies have already warned about higher costs cutting into operations.

Paint maker Sherwin-Williams rose 2% even though its latest results revealed that higher raw materials costs crimped its finances.

Microsoft and Googles parent company, Alphabet, will report their own results after the closing bell Monday, along with Twitter. European markets were higher and Asian markets closed mixed.

Investors still have a busy week of corporate earnings ahead. Airplane maker Boeing and beverage company Coca-Cola will report their results on Wednesday.

General Motors and Ford will also release their results on Wednesday. The reports could help give investors a clearer picture of how the auto industry is dealing with supply chain problems, including a chip shortage that has been weighing on auto production.

Apple and Amazon will report on Thursday. The companies, along with Microsoft and Google, are the four biggest companies on Wall Street by market value and their stock movements have a huge effect on the S&P 500.

Solid earnings drive US stocks further into record heights - Las Vegas Sun

VENTURA COUNTY, Calif. - A Las Vegas man was arrested this month after an investigation determined he was involved in five separate thefts at Home Depot locations in Camarillo, Oxnard, Thousand Oaks and Simi Valley.

The Ventura County Sheriff's Office conducted an investigation which identified the 24-year-old man as the suspect in all five grand thefts during which he allegedly stole thousands of dollars in brand power tools.

On Wednesday, Oct. 13, deputies said the man entered the Camarillo Home Depot and attempted to steal more power tools.

The man was reportedly confronted by a store employee but used physical force to push past the employee and flee the store.

Other employees said they recognized the man from prior thefts and recorded his license plate before he drove off.

The man then fled the Home Depot parking lot in the vehicle which deputies confirmed was stolen out of Inglewood.

Deputies began a search for the vehicle which was spotted the following day in Thousand Oaks driving southbound on Highway 101.

Crews pulled the vehicle over on the freeway and successfully arrested the Las Vegas man for multiple grand thefts and a stolen vehicle.

During a search of the vehicle, deputies said they found additional power tools that were suspected of being stolen from the Home Depot in Goleta.

The man was booked into the Pre-Trial Detention Facility in Ventura on numerous felony counts. His bail was set at $200,000.
