Everything to Know About the Fontainebleau Las Vegas Project – Eater Vegas
Posted: November 13, 2021 at 10:55 am
Its been a drawn-out, messy journey for the Fontainebleau Las Vegas, but things finally seem to be back on track as construction resumed on November 9 after nearly 15 years of starts and stops and many owners in between.
Jeffrey Soffers Fontainebleau Development, the original developer, plans to open the hotel and casino at the end of 2023, ahead of the 2024 Super Bowl landing in Vegas.
Located on 25 acres at the north end of the Las Vegas Strip near the convention center, the 67-story luxury hotel will house 3,700 hotel rooms and 550,000-square feet of convention space, plus restaurants, shops, pools, a spa, and more.
In addition to all of Eater Vegass stories, here are a few from other sources to fill in the long saga of the luxury property.

Parkland activists heal over years while pushing gun reform – Las Vegas Sun
Posted: at 10:55 am
Andrew Harnik / AP
In this March 24, 2018, file photo, David Hogg, a survivor of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., raises his fist after speaking during the March for Our Lives rally in support of gun control inWashington.
By Associated Press
Saturday, Nov. 13, 2021 | 7:34 a.m.
When the shooter in the 2018 Parkland school massacre finally pleaded guilty last month, it briefly revived attention and donations for the anti-gun violence March For Our Lives student movement birthed by the tragedy.
It also dredged up personal trauma for many of young activists, though most are now hundreds of miles away at college.
Jaclyn Corin, 21, one of the groups original organizers and now a Harvard junior, stayed off social media the week of the shooters court proceedings to avoid painful memories. But well-intentioned loved ones texted constantly to provide support, unwittingly making it impossible for her to ignore.
I try my best not to think about him and the violence that he inflicted, but its incredibly hard to do that when someone who ruined your life and the lives of literally everyone in your community is trending on social media.
In the initial months after the shooting that killed 17 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the teenagers amassed one of the largest youth protests in history in Washington and rallied more than a million activists in sister marches from California to Japan. They made the cover of Time magazine and raised millions to fund March For Our Lives. They testified before Congress, met with the president, won the International Childrens Peace Prize and launched a 60-plus city bus tour to register tens of thousands of young voters.
March For Our Lives has evolved into a 300-chapter organization that has had a hand in helping pass many of the 130 gun violence prevention bills approved across the country since 2018 and regularly files amicus briefs in gun-related lawsuits.
Yet some of the original founders, including Emma Gonzalez, have left or taken a step back or moved on to other issues. One of them is running for Congress in Florida.
Corin was so burned out from activism when she started college that she said she needed a year for herself.
A lot of our trauma from the shooting is inherently linked to the organization, she said.
Nearly four years after the shootings, the twenty-somethings have managed to keep the organization going and youth-led. Still, theyve struggled to achieve sustainable financing. The organization has raised over $31 million to date, but its operating costs were slightly higher than funds in 2020.
David Hogg, one of the most recognizable faces from the group and still one of its most active members, said the organization is much more stable now than in the early days
When you get a bunch of traumatized teenagers together and say, Its up to you to fix this, ... the weight that puts on a 17-year-old mind or a 14-year-old mind like my sisters after she lost four friends that day is enormous.
Hogg, also a student at Harvard, delayed college for a year to help grow the organization. He was in Washington last week for a Supreme Court case about the right to carry a firearm in public for self-defense where the organization filed an amicus brief supporting a restrictive New York state law.
There are days when I want to stop. There are days when I am exhausted. But there are days when I realize I am not alone in this work, Hogg said in a recent interview.
Hogg, who has drawn persistent scorn from conservatives including Georgias Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Fox News personality Laura Ingraham, said March For Our Lives is focused on the long game. It hopes to spur youth nationally to run for office, become judges and draft policies.
Volunteers in the organization made over 1 million texts and phone calls leading up to the 2020 election.
Maxwell Frost, one of the groups founders and its former organizing director, is running for an open congressional seat from Orlando. Another founding member, Charlie Mirsky, took a year off to work full time as the organizations policy director before before enrolling at Lafayette College. Last summer, he helped the organization form a judicial advocacy branch to write amicus briefs.
While gun control remains the groups chief mission, the students said they consider issues like racism, poverty and voter disenfranchisement to be intertwined and have focused extra efforts on communities of color affected by gun violence.
Many of the students rallied for Black Lives Matters last summer in the wake of the George Floyd protests, including Aalayah Eastmond.
Eastmond, now a junior at Trinity Washington University, was in her Holocaust history class when the gunman killed several students inside. The now 20-year-old took part in March For Our Lives bus tour, though she is not a formal member of the group.
I wanted to make sure we were addressing inner city gun violence that disproportionately impacts Black and brown youth," Eastmond said. I felt like that was a huge part of the conversation that is overlooked."
And now, as a jury will decide in January whether the Parkland school shooter will spend life in prison or receive the death penalty, the student activists find themselves grappling yet again with the human toll of gun violence. The organization does not have a formal position, but the students said they support whatever the victims families want.
I think its a really difficult scenario, Corin said. I struggle with the morality of the death penalty often, but I do know that it could give victims families peace, specifically in this case where we know the person is guilty.

Nation suckered by a grifter – Las Vegas Sun
Posted: at 10:55 am
By Joe DeMarco, Jay,N.Y.
Saturday, Nov. 13, 2021 | 2 a.m.
In case youre not familiar with the word, grift occurs when someone obtains money or property in a way that abuses trust, like in a confidence game. A grifter is a con artist with a skill set practiced to swindle people out of money through misdirection, misinformation and fraud. Often the suckers so strongly believe the grift that they willingly give their money, even insisting that the con artist accept their money.
Here are some signs of a big-timer grifter: fast-talking; making lots of money sound like nothing; mentioning repeatedly his own success, even when the grifter has a history of failures; dropping the names of Fortune 500 companies and rich tech founders; pretending to be confident; overusing social media; controlling some elements of the press (like Fox News, OAN and NewsMax); making promises but not keeping them, and changing the subject; painting a group of others as a mutual enemy and demonizing them; misleading people.
Do you know anyone like this?

Hamilton not concerned by UNLV’s slow shooting start – Las Vegas Sun

UNLV guard Bryce Hamilton moves past Gardner-Webb guard Jordan Sears during the Rebels season opener at the Thomas & Mack Center Wednesday, Nov. 10,2021.
By Mike Grimala (contact)
Saturday, Nov. 13, 2021 | 2 a.m.
The UNLV basketball season starts this week as the Rebels look to reach the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2013. That's likely going to be a tough task considering the program was projected to finish seventh in the Mountain West. One spot ahead? Fresno State. Mike and Ray discuss the season, and Ray expresses confusion about how the preseason poll has the Bulldogs ahead of the Rebels.
Early in the first half of UNLVs season opener against Gardner-Webb on Wednesday, center Royce Hamm stepped behind the arc and made a 3-pointer from the top of the key.
In the final minutes of the second half, guard Bryce Hamilton came off a screen and hit a triple from the right wing to give UNLV some breathing room in an eventual 64-58 win.
Besides those two shots, the scarlet and gray went 0-of-23 from 3-point range.
It was an almost unthinkable shooting performance from a team that seemingly has capable marksmen at the ready. And considering it was just the second 3-pointer of Hamms five-year college career and that Hamilton was 0-of-8 from distance before his make, UNLV has to feel a little fortunate to have made any at all.
All those bricks made the game a lot closer than it should have been.
Was it something in the arena? Gardner-Webb didnt manage much better, making 3-of-20 beyond the arc, so maybe it was chilly inside the Thomas & Mack Center, or perhaps there was some other external factor affecting shooters equilibrium.
Its unlikely, but either way Kruger knows this UNLV team is not going to survive shooting 8.0% in many contests.
In his quest to raise the teams shooting accuracy, Kruger wants his players to hunt for better shots. That means more ball movement and sometimes passing up the first good 3-point look for an even more open attempt by a teammate.
This group can shoot it, Kruger said, but its difficult to shoot it rushed or out of rhythm. Thats the thing weve been working on a bunch is getting that ball moving side to side. Create a good look for a teammate. Be patient within the offense. We didnt mind the guys shooting. Well take the 25 attempts we had with the guys the same exact way, but maybe one more ball reversal, one more paint touch. Things like that will just get us cleaner looks.
Kruger is right that UNLV should be able to shoot it. The programs imported shooters struggled in their scarlet and gray debuts, however. Hawaii transfer Justin Webster missed all three of his long-distance attempts, Kent State transfer Mike Nuga went 0-of-2 from distance and junior college recruit Josh Baker went 0-of-4 beyond the arc. That backcourt trio combined to shoot 39.4% from 3-point range last year at their respective schools.
Baker said his process after a poor shooting performance includes watching film and then going out to the practice court to try to recreate the shots he missed. He connected on 45.2% of his 3-pointers over two years at Hutchinson CC (113-of-245), so its an exercise that has worked for the 6-foot-4 guard.
Baker thought he and his fellow shooters had enough open looks against Gardner-Webb, but like Kruger believes crisper ball movement will lead to better percentages team-wide.
I feel like I got some good shots, Baker said. I felt like more as a team we could fight to get a better shot as far as moving the ball, getting paint touches. Thats stuff were working on now. Just getting in the gym and getting more game shots ready, that will help us for the game Saturday against Cal.
Hamilton, who finished 1-of-9 from deep, isnt worried at all about his stroke or his teammates shooting ability.
I think were a real good shooting team. Weve got a lot of shooters, Hamilton said. All our guards can shoot, weve just got to be able to get in the paint, make the right shot selections and well be fine.
McCabe in, Iwaukor out
Senior point guard Jordan McCabe is expected to play in todays home game against Cal. The West Virginia transfer sat out the opener as he served a one-game suspension from the NCAA for playing in an unsanctioned event during the offseason.
McCabe has been in the mix to be the teams starting point guard. In his absence on Wednesday, Kruger went without a true point guard in his starting lineup, opting instead to insert combo guard Josh Baker.
McCabes return doesnt make UNLV whole, however, as power forward Victor Iwuakor is expected to miss his second straight game due to an arm injury. Iwaukor, a 6-foot-7 transfer from Oklahoma, did not practice on Friday.
With Cal possessing more size than Gardner-Webb, it could prompt Kruger to turn to reserve big men David Muoka and Reece Brown for more minutes.

Shouldn’t we know where the children are? – Las Vegas Sun
Posted: at 10:55 am
By Patricia Farley and Tiffany Tyler-Garner
Saturday, Nov. 13, 2021 | 2 a.m.
When a child is in your care, you should know certain basic things like where the child is, for example. But Nevada has more than 3,000 children in its care, and it doesnt know where all of them are.
United Nevada Information Technology for Youth (UNITY) is Nevadas statewide child welfare case management tool. It is supposed to track a foster childs placement, services, medical needs, care and educational needs. But in 2015, foster care service providers openly expressed that on any given day, the state could provide a report that had an accuracy of only 50% as to where children were placed, their school attendance and the services provided to them, because the system was never designed for this type of tracking and reporting. Today, the problem is just as bad even with the Band-Aids our child welfare system has implemented.
For more than two decades, advocates have called for basic investments in the child welfare system, to no avail. Nevada fails our most vulnerable children in two of the most basic functions meant to help them: tracking children in the states care and tracking the money spent within the child care system. But Nevada has a pattern of disinvestment in its children.
In 2017, Senate Bill 662 was introduced and attempted to fix the problem. It would have required a study of the funding of the child welfare system and called attention to how Nevada was failing its children. The bill failed to pass while many other pet political projects were funded. In 2019, a similar bill, Assembly Bill 111, also failed to pass. Because Nevada has failed to act, it:
Lacks the ability to effectively track and monitor youth placements, care, services and education
Has a mental health system ranked 51st in the country and 51st in youth mental health, and children are being placed in out-of-state facilities because the state could not adequately identify available beds and services, and has a woefully inadequate child welfare funding structure that could not identify service or providers meeting or exceeding the expectations of the funding received.
We can no longer stand by and watch Nevadas children be lost. These children are removed from inhumane conditions such as starvation, neglect, physical and sexual abuse, violence and addiction, then taken into custody by child welfare. They now are dependent upon the state for health care, safety, education, food and mental health services.
While some have long argued that our lack of progress is a resource issue, thats never been the case. The cost of implementing an enterprise system to track children in Nevadas care and track the money spent within the child care system is feasible. The state has funded many one-off pet political projects that are more expensive than the cost of fixing our child welfare system.
Today, the state has $2 billion in federal aid available and our most vulnerable children are once again at the mercy of more such important political projects. We must seize this opportunity to make lasting change for Nevadas children.
Now that funding is available, let us have the courage to act. Call or email your elected officials to let them know you want $2 billion in federal funding to be used to find Nevadas children.
Tiffany Tyler-Garner is the executive director of Childrens Advocacy Alliance, and Patricia Farley is a board member of the organization.

Don’t blame the filibuster – Las Vegas Sun
Posted: at 10:55 am

Saturday, Nov. 13, 2021 | 2 a.m.
All the talk about the Senate filibuster rule misses the real point it was the progressive Democrats in the House who stalled the $1 trillion infrastructure bill for 57 days after it passed by the Senate on a bipartisan vote.
These progressives, with Sen.Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., as their leader, vowed to block the vote until the social-climate change bill moved first, and did so twice. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, with 221 members versus 213 Republicans, had no choice. She twisted arms to get 13 Republicans from mostly blue states to vote with her caucus. But she had to agree to a Congressional Budget Office score to pass the bigger Build Back Better bill and compromise offered by Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., and members of the Congressional Black Caucus.
Pelosi kept the floor vote open for seven hours after the roll call, a House record. The bill passed 228-206 thanks to the assistance of the 13 Republicans. Now, the CBO numbers have to match the White House estimates.
Thats not a Senate filibuster rule problem its a policy and process problem. The filibuster is just a handy excuse.

Las Vegas couple steals more than $300k by collecting dead person’s retirement payments for nearly 12 years – KLAS – 8 News Now
Posted: November 11, 2021 at 6:16 pm
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) A husband and wife from Las Vegas have been sentenced to nearly 2-years in prison after assuming the identity of a deceased person and stealing more than $300,000 in retirement payments.
According to the U.S. Attorneys office, 53-year-old Rodolfo Segovia and his wife 48-year-old Jennifer Segovia assumed the identity of the deceased person for nearly 12 years.
Court documents state that the U.S. Office of Personnel management deposited annuity payments into a former federal employees bank account because it was not notified of the persons death.
The couple stole at least $308,391.72 by redirecting the annuity payments of the deceased person into their own accounts from 2005 to 2017.
Rodolfo and Jennifer each pleaded guilty to one count of theft of government money or property. Both were sentenced to 21 months in prison.
In addition to the term of imprisonment, the judge sentenced the Segovias to three years each of supervised release.

Former Raiders receiver Henry Ruggs III is charged after fatal Las Vegas car crash – NPR

Former Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III makes an initial appearance in Las Vegas Justice Court in Las Vegas, Wednesday, Nov. 3, 2021. Ruggs is facing charges relating to a fiery vehicle crash in Las Vegas that left a woman dead and Ruggs and his female passenger injured.
The former Las Vegas Raider wide receiver Henry Ruggs III has been formally charged with four felonies and a misdemeanor stemming from a car crash last week that left a 23-year-old woman dead.
Prosecutors in Las Vegas say that Ruggs had a blood-alcohol content that was twice Nevada's legal limit when he slammed into Tina O. Tintor at 156 mph. Tintor was killed in the crash, as was her dog. Kiara Je'nai Kilgo-Washington, Ruggs' girlfriend, was in the car with him and experienced a serious arm injury requiring surgery.
On Wednesday, prosecutors charged Ruggs with two counts of driving under the influence causing death or substantial harm and two counts of reckless driving. Ruggs, 22, has also been charged with a misdemeanor for the possession of a gun under the influence of alcohol.
Steve Wolfson, the Clark County District Attorney, said the charges could result in as much as 50 years in prison for Ruggs.
Ruggs was not in court for the hearing. His attorney, David Chesnoff, was not immediately available to respond to a request for comment from NPR. But speaking to reporters after the hearing he said it was important to not "prejudge" the case.
"I have been doing this for 40 years, and I can tell each and every one of you that I have had multiple experiences where the facts that were presented at the outset of the case turned out not to be the facts," Chesnoff said.
The collision occurred on Nov. 2 when police received reports at 3:39 a.m. local time of a crash involving a Chevrolet Corvette and the Toyota Rav4 that Tintor was traveling in. When they arrived on the scene, the Toyota was on fire. First responders found Tintor dead inside the car.
Ruggs was taken to a nearby hospital for "non-life threatening injuries." After posting a $150,000 bail, he was placed on house arrest, where he is required to abstain from drugs and alcohol and is prohibited from driving under his bail conditions, according to court records.
The former first-round draft pick out of the University of Alabama has also been released by the Raiders.

Las Vegas visionary saves lives with drone developed in wake of 1 October – FOX5 Las Vegas
Posted: at 6:16 pm
LAS VEGAS (FOX5) --After witnessing tragedy at a young age, one Las Vegas man's dreams are taking flight.
Fueled by a mission to save lives, the drone technology he engineered is currently assisting first responders across the world.
Imagine a device that could break through windows and start a dialogue with armed suspects so that police don't have to send a person inside to do it: that is one of the many visions behind Brinc Drones, a growing startup based in Nevada, with 21-year-old Las Vegas native Blake Resnick at the helm.
"Putting eyes and ears in places that are too dangerous to send a person," said Resnick, founder and CEO of Brinc Drones.
The 10-month-old companyjust raised a $25 million series in A-round funding.
Resnick said Brinc's state-of-the-art drone technology was inspired by 1 October, the deadliest mass shooting in modern history at the Route 91 Harvest musical festival in Las Vegas in 2017.
"In an event like that, time really matters," said Resnick. "So the whole thought was like, man, if you could build a technology that could give like great situational awareness, and knowledge about what's actually going on in seconds rather than an hour, that could save a lot of lives."
Resnick grew up in Summerlin in Las Vegas, and was a teen when he watched nearly 60 people die at the hands of a lone shooter. "I, unfortunately, knew a lot of people who were there, friends and family," he said.
That's when his partnership with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department was born.
"I cold-called the SWAT team," he said. "I went online and looked up their number, literally cold-called them. I was probably 17 or 18 at the time. I'm surprised they took me seriously, but they did, and we ended up just grabbing lunch and just kind of had a conversation."
That conversation reviewed the challenges first responders faced that tragic night and set flight to what ultimately became Brinc's first drone.
"Vegas Metro has an area command quite close to the Mandalay Bay," said Resnick. "So shot spotter systems, basically this big microphone array around the valley, would have heard the gunshots, and given like a rough GPS coordinate to where this was all happening. Already super helpful. From there, on top of that police station, the doors on one of these nests would open up. The drone would launch, and fly to that exact location, I mean, if it's that close, potentially literally in 45 seconds," he said.
He added, "It would be able to look around and identify the nature of the incident. So in that case, someone in a casino shooting down on a crowd of people, and it would have been able to give that information to first responders, so they would be able to coordinate a response a lot better, and direct assets to the right places at the right times."
To this day, Las Vegas police use the drone Resnick made specially for them.
Since then, Brinc has sold drones to close to a hundred other agencies and governments all over the world. The drone is most commonly used in barricade and hostage situations, said Resnick.
The camera mounted on their Lemur S Drone has night vision, which allows them to see inside dark spaces. Additionally, Resnick said this is the only drone in the world with a fully functional two-way audio system. The responder can dial in with their cell phone.
"This is a speaker on the bottom of the drone," said Resnick, pointing to his creation. "And these two things are microphones ... If you're able to establish communications between a crisis negotiator and the suspect, the overwhelming majority of the time, it ends peacefully."
Separately, most drones rely on GPS to determine their location. But Resnick recognized a flaw with that technology.
"The problem is you fly underground, or frankly, even under a roof, you lose your GPS signal," he said. "Our answer to that has largely been lidar systems.
It's these lidar systems that appealed to officials in Florida, who last June responded to the condominium collapse in Surfside and asked for Resnick's help.
"I got a call from the SWAT commander in Miami," he said.
Within hours, he and the Brinc team were on a plane to Florida to execute building inspection missions in the rubble.
"Really it was about determining, like, is this 14-story building going to fall on 100 first responders looking for survivors," said Resnick.
The drone is designed for durability in disaster situations like Surfside's condo collapse.
"If it's on its back, tools spin up in the opposite direction of what they normally do, and that provides enough thrust to literally flip us over," said Resnick.
He said he was proud to provide some value in Surfside's recovery, and hopes his latest prototype will someday replace the need for first responders' helicopters in various scenarios.
"Find ... every car with an abducted child in it from an Amber Alert, and find every lost hiker, and bring global emergency response times down to seconds," said Resnick.
His broader vision, he said, is to put drones in nests on top of every police and fire station in the world; and build a giant interconnected grid of them, integrated with 911 dispatch systems.
But with great power comes great responsibility.
"There are countries that we would not sell this technology to," said Resnick.
It's something Resnick thinks about often. "It's kind of up to us to develop the technology in the right way, and with the right safeguards, and sell to the right customers, so that this technology ends up benefiting the world."
He said drones likely will not replace the need for real, human responders.
"We think that this is a part of the future of public safety, it's not the whole thing. Our goal isn't to build 'Robocop,' it's to build technology that saves people's lives," said Resnick.
He said he does not believe his technology should be equipped with weapons, either. "All of our current efforts started with October 1. The purpose of Brinc is to save lives with technology, not take them," he said.
The UNLV alum worked briefly at McLaren, Tesla and DJI, all experiences he calls highly educational. He also worked with the Department of Homeland Security. Still, he considers himself largely self-taught.
"I'd say, in many ways, YouTube was my greatest teacher," said Resnick.
His advice for future STEM visionaries? Don't give up.
"None of it's easy, it's excruciatingly difficult actually. But it is amazing how much you can accomplish if you just don't give up and continue pushing towards a goal for multiple years," he said.
He aims to keep his focus set on that long-term mission of saving lives.
"Why can't these types of aircraft like also carry Narcan? You know, life-saving drug for overdoses. So if you do get a 911 call in for an OD, you deliver the drug that will save that person's life in 45 seconds? I think that's the promise of this technology. I think it's going to change public safety, period: police, fire, emergency, medical, all of it."
Resnick is working on getting aerospace regulation adjusted to allow more flight paths for the technology.
In the next six months, he hopes to more than double his staff size to 120 people.
They're currently in the process of opening an additional 20,000 square foot office in Seattle, but still plan to keep their office in Las Vegas, off the 215 and Decatur Boulevard, where all the drones are made.
