The Las Vegas Raiders are the only team in the National Football League with an 0-3 record, but incredibly, had one play in any of those games gone the other way, the Silver and Black actually could be 3-0.

The Raiders, after a promising 4-0 preseason record under new Coach Josh McDaniels, rallied in the second half only to fall short of the Los Angeles Chargers, 24-19, at Sofi Stadium in the opener in Inglewood Calif., before building a 20-0 lead over the Arizona Cardinals before losing, 29-23, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, and last Sunday rallied in the second half only to fall to the Tennessee Titans, 24-22, at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn.

Like most close games are, theres a handful of plays that that they made and we didnt that would sway the outcome, and unfortunately thats three weeks in a row, Coach Josh McDaniels of the Raiders said.

Im looking for us to try to improve and play a full 60-minute game, where we actually start well, play well in all three phases, lets see what that looks like. Im not sure that weve done that yet.

Added defensive Maxx Crosby: Its tough. Were so close. Were doing a lot of good things, were just not finishing and getting the wins. On the outside its frustrating and I get it. Its frustrating in (the locker room). ... Even though its hard right now and seems like the world is closing down, we have a lot of positive things to take away.

In all of their comments about being winless, the Raiders and their coaches have been reluctant to utter the phrase oh-and-three.

The Raiders are 0-3 for the first time since 2018, and since 1979, six NFL teams have started 0-3 and made the playoffs, the last one being the Houston Texans, which started 0-3 in 2018 but rebounded to win their next nine games and made the playoffs at 11-5 before losing to the Indianapolis Colts, 21-7, in an AFC Wild Card Game.

This is the 10th time in the 63-year history of the Silver and Black that they have not won in their first three games, and in only one of those seasons did they bounce back and make it to the postseason. And that season, they were winless in the first three games but did not start 0-3.

The 1970 Raiders, led by Hall of Fame Coach John Madden, started the season at 0-2-1, but then went 6-0-1 in the next seven games and wound up winning the AFC West with an 8-4-2 record. Then the Silver and Black beat the Miami Dolphins, 21-14, in an AFC Divisional Playoff Game at the Oakland Coliseum before losing to the Baltimore Colts, 27-17, in the AFC Championship Game at Memorial Stadium in Baltimore.

That was the season kicker-quarterback George Blanda won five straight games for the Raiders with his leg and his arm, but even though he threw two touchdown passes and kicked a 48-yard field goal, Blanda couldnt get the Silver and Black past great quarterback Johnny Unitas and the Colts.

The best the Raiders did after starting 0-3 came in 1986 when they won eight of their next nine games to make a run for the playoffs led by another Hall of Fame Coach, Tom Flores. However, they lost their last four games to finish 8-8 and missed the playoffs by finishing last in the AFC West.

Of course, Raider Nation doesnt want to think about 1962, when the Silver and Black started 0-13 before winning their last game; 1964, when they started 0-5 and wound up 5-7-2; 1992, when they were 0-4 before finishing 7-9; 2006, when they were 0-5 before winding up at 2-14, or 2014, when went 0-10 before ending up at 3-13.

The last time the Raiders started 0-3 was 2018, when they lost five more in a row after gaining their first victory and won three of their last six games to finish 4-12 in the first season of Coach Jon Grudens second stint with the franchise.

The Silver and Black can halt all this talk, at least for one week, by beating the AFC West rival Denver Broncos on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

The Las Vegas Raiders return to action next Sunday, as they play host at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas to their AFC rivals the Denver Broncos. That game kicks off at 4:25 PM PDT and can be seen on CBS.

Raiders Have Never Started 0-3 and Made Playoffs - Sports Illustrated

Because the campus is located in the subtropicalof the Mojave Desert, UNLV'slandscape, grounds, and arboretum departmenthasto be strategic in planting flora that will flourish despite hot temperature and little rainfall. Yet, this August brought heavy rainfalls to the valley, providing UNLV photographer Becca Schwartz an eerily intriguing backdrop fora recent projectdocumentingthe campus unique plant life.

With such a dark overcast sky, I was able to keep the background almost black, resulting in chiaroscuro [heavily contrasted] lighting, Schwartz explains. The result reminded me of the effect Baroque painters of the 17th century used in their works to emphasize their main subjects. In a similar way, the details of the vegetation are able to be foregrounded, which isnt always as achievable in typical Las Vegas sunshine.

I hope these photos serve as a map for rediscovering the striking plant life around us. I welcome others in the UNLV community to seek the plants out themselves and take notice of the contrast in these plants under differing weather forecasts.

Cylindropuntia bigelovii (Teddy-bear Cholla)

These fuzzy-looking plants typically grow one to five feet tall. The spines of the teddy-bear cholla have microscopic barbs making getting poked by one quitepainful!

Pieces of the cholla can easily break off if brushed against or may even hitchhike on an animal or person and become plants once they drop onto the ground. This particular cholla is located in Baepler Xeric Garden.

Agave desmettiana (Agave)

Agave is indigenous to the arid regions of the Americas, some also being native to tropical areas of South America. While the leaves may appear smooth at first sight, they have very sharp marginal teeth and a fibrous interior. These plants are sprinkled throughout campus, this one being next to the Baepler Xeric Garden behind the Marjorie Barrick Museum.

Caesalpiniapulcherrima(Red Bird of Paradise)

These are often incorrectly called Mexican Bird of Paradise. They look like the same plant except the Mexican Bird has yellow flowers instead of red. The Red Bird is the national flower of Barbados and is sometimes called the "Pride of Barbados. These can be found throughout the UNLV campus; this particular one right is located outside of Lied Library.

Ziziphus jujube (Chinese Date Tree)

Jujube, also known as the red or Chinese date, is native to China. This medium-sized tree can grow up to 40 feet and has glossy green, deciduous leaves with light gray bark. The oval-shaped, single-stoned fruit is green to start with and becomes dark brown over time. We have two species located in the Baepler Xeric Garden by the Barrick Museum. The fruit that comes from the tree is extremely sweet and edible, but only ripe when dark brown or tan.

Encelia farinosa(Brittlebrush)

Brittlebushis a medium-sized rounded shrub. It has long, oval, silver-gray leaves that are somewhat fuzzy. The branches are brittle and woody, and contain a fragrant resin. In the late winter and early spring small yellow flowers form on long stalks well above the leafy stems. You can find this one at the Baepler Xeric Garden.

Pedilanthus macrocarpus(Lady Slipper Plant)

This is an unusual, attractive slow growing succulent plant that remains mostly leafless, or with tiny, inconspicuous leaves. Instead of having leaves, it has erect half-inch thick lime-green stems that grow up to three feet tall, sometimes taller in the shade, arching or bending outwards under their own weight. The stems are tapered like a candle near the tips and covered by a waxy substance known as Candelilla, which means "little candle.

The plant spreads slowly outward with new stems emerging from below ground to form tight clumps up to three feet wide. From mid-summer into fall (in the desert, folks note it happens in spring, too) the unusual orange-red slipper-shaped flowers, which are also described as bird shaped, appear along the stems and are often followed by reddish fruit. We have roughly 15 species located by the Academic Success Center.

Prickly Pear

There are so many varieties of Opuntia that UNLV Grounds isnt sure exactly which this is, but believe it to be Opuntia ellisiana. They do not have large spines or needles, but do have tiny slivers coming from the "dots. The dot is called a glochid. The slivers are very hard to see, so if they get in your hand or leg, it could be very irritating and hard to remove. They are native to the Southwest, mainly Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico. Our prickly pear is located by the EPA buildings.

Carnegiea gigantea(Giant Saguaro Cactus)

The saguaro cactusis one of the defining plants of the Sonoran Desert. These plants are large, tree-like columnar cacti that develop branches (or arms) as they age, although some never grow arms. These arms generally bend upward and can number over 25. Saguaros are covered with protective spines, white flowers in the late spring, and red fruit in summer. Our species by the EPA buildings is approximately 20 feet tall making it just 38 feet shy of the largest Saguaro ever recorded. This is the largest on campus!

Trichocereus hybrid(Flying Saucer Cactus)

Flying Saucer is a handsome, columnar cactus sporting an average of 14 ribs per stem. The flowers they bloom grow up to 10" wide. Theyre electric red on the outside with hints of orange, and move from deep pink/light pink until they reach the center. Stamens form a ring of pale yellow. This is the only Flying Saucer cactus at UNLV. Installed by J.T. Davis, JayNette Hayes, Marvin Rodriguez, Delano Varner, and Brian Maleyof UNLV Grounds,this beauty is by the physics building.

Metro asks residents to avoid northeast Las Vegas desert area

The calendar still says summer, but the start of school and football season means were in a time of transition. While we spent the summer stocking up on refreshing juice pops, T-shirts and pool toys, what well buy this fall is different.

Costco also is in that in-between stage, still selling some of summers staples while introducing merchandise for cooler weather and holidays ahead. From lingering school supplies to stuff for the final barbecues of the year to holiday treats, Costco is ready for the change of seasons.

As you start to stock your shelves for colder weather ahead, here are some great deals on the Costco shelves.

Hamburger patties

With summer winding down, its a good time to get all the grilling in that you can, said Julie Ramhold, consumer analyst for DealNews.com. And if youre planning to grill for the beginning of tailgate season, buying in bulk from Costco means having to buy less overall.

Unless you have a tried-and-true secret burger recipe and no other will do, the patties at Costco are solid picks that provide a tasty shortcut. A bag of 18 frozen patties will cost around $28 to $30, depending on whether you opt for Angus chuck or ground sirloin, which works out to about $1.56 to $1.67 each far better than what youll spend at a standard grocery store.

Take our poll: How do you typically split the restaurant bill?

Gel pens

Back-to-school season is basically over, which means nows a good time to grab extra school supplies before they disappear from shelves, Ramhold said. Costco has a few different types of gel pens that are perfect for students and office workers alike, including a UNI-BALL 12-pack for $12, a 20-pack of Pilot G2 pens for around $16, and a 40-count pack of Zebra retractable pens in various colors for around $10, so buying in bulk is definitely a good way to save.

Cooling Towels

Temperatures may be starting to cool down, but that doesnt mean these items are useless, Ramhold said. For one thing, theyre ideal during workouts, but theyre also useful to have on hand for when next summer rolls around.

Since Costco will sell seasonal items sometimes, theres no guarantee that the 4-pack of Arctic Cool cooling towels will hang around, so grab them while you can. Theyre about $22 for the pack, which is much cheaper than other places that tend to charge around $10 or so for just one cooling towel.

Create a treat pre-built chocolate Halloween house

It isnt too early to start thinking about the fall holidays if something in the aisle grabs your attention at Costco.

Yes, summer isnt quite over, but Costco has seasonal products earlier than the actual holiday, so if you want to take advantage of things like this product, its better to buy them now while theyre still available Ramhold said of the Halloween house. Typically once they sell out, thats it, so dont count on them being restocked.

The great thing about this is that it takes the gingerbread house tradition of winter holidays and turns it into a spooky tradition for Halloween made with chocolate cookies. Its also pre-built, so you dont have to worry about fitting the pieces together and it comes with additional spooky cookies and a full pound of icing and candy to decorate with. Itll also only set you back around $15, which isnt a bad deal at all for all that you get.

Leaf blower

If youre not looking forward to raking and bagging the mass of leaves in your yard this fall, its time for a leaf blower. One of the things Costco is known for is offering items with some extras in a bundle, and thats what they have done with the Greenworks 80V Jet Blower. While the price sounds high at just shy of $300, its packaged with two rechargeable batteries and a charger. At Amazon, the blower is a la carte you buy the tool and the batteries separately, and the cost will well exceed the Costco price.

Starbucks Hot Cocoa Mix

As the nights grow chillier, cuddling up on the couch with a cup of delicious hot cocoa just might sound good. Or, fill a thermos and head to the football game at your local high school. The rich Starbucks mix will make a much better cup than what you can buy at the stadium concession stand. If you and your family consume a lot of hot cocoa, buy it in bulk at Costco, where two 30-ounce cans cost $34.99. Youll pay $21.75 for just one can at Amazon.

Allergy medications

If the end of summer and beginning of fall brings allergy symptoms your way, then its time to stock up on daily allergy meds, Ramhold said. Opt for Costcos Kirkland Signature brand to save even more whether you prefer Zyrtec, Allegra, Flonase or Claritin as Costco has store-brand versions of all of these items.

A bottle of 365 Aller-Tec pills, for instance, is anywhere from $13 to $16, depending on if its on sale, Ramhold added. And thats a years supply if youre the only one taking it. Other meds will vary in price, but all of them are cheaper to buy Kirkland Signatures brand over name brand, and theyre definitely cheaper to buy in bulk than shopping elsewhere.

Laundry soap packets

You can do a load of laundry a day for almost a year with the 350-pack of Nellies Laundry Nuggets premeasured soap packets that you just throw in with the dirty clothes. The giant case costs $85, which sounds steep. But consider how much you spend picking up the laundry packs when you do your weekly grocery shopping.

If you shop at Ralphs in Southern California, for example, youll pay $6 for a 19-count package of All with Stainlifters Free Clear Laundry Detergent Mighty Pacs about 32 cents a load. With the Nellies nuggets, the per-load price is about 24 cents and you wont run out for a long, long time.

Before booking a room, make sure you understand all fees included or search for hotels without resort fees. The room might look cheaper in comparison to other options on popular platforms like Booking.com, but at the end of the booking process, when these fees are added, it might actually be the most expensive room in the market. Read carefully!

The extreme summer heat has been extending to September, just a couple of days ago, Las Vegas peaked at 110 degrees. However, forecasts say it will cool down, and a few storms will occur. If you are traveling to Vegas soon, consider clothing for rain and hot weather.

Some travelers believe that the best time to visit Las Vegas is between September and November because the extreme heat is gone. The best weather sets in Octobertemperatures range from 89F to 75F and Novemberfrom 74F to 61F.

There are many important and unique events in Vegas, like Adeles Vegas Show at Caesars Palace which will finally start on November 18. Of course, Las Vegas offers events and shows for all tastes.

Travelers also can visit traditional casinos and museums like Madame Tussauds or the Illumination, but there are seasonal or once-in-a-lifetime events that might be worth the shot. Visitors can see upcoming events at Visit Las Vegas, Las Vegas Calendars, or Eventbrite.

You dont have to lose money on bad bets in the casino to realize that your budget might not be as sufficient as you thought. Travelers will encounter expensive hotels, expensive hidden fees, expensive meals, expensive shows, expensive gambling, and expensive shopping, especially on the Strip.

This is a city of opportunities and visitors can avoid spending money on tourist locations to save a few bucks and also prefer low-budget and yet unique things to do in Vegas like visit the Bellagio Conservatory & Botanical Gardensor even getting last-minute tickets for shows. Also, traditional saving strategies like avoiding holidays, using reward points, and comparing rates are always useful.

You have the perfect weather to make the most out of outdoor activities during fall. Las Vegas has so much more to offer than casinos and night shows. Without the extreme summer heat and still away from the freezing desert winter, its the perfect opportunity to go for a hikethere are great routes at the Valley of Fire State Park, go kayaking, and if you are not that sportif, maybe a helicopter tour around the Grand Canyon?

If there is a show, conference, restaurant, museum, Grand Canyon tour, or activity you absolutely want to do while in Vegas, make that reservation asap! Tickets usually sold out fast for the most popular shows and iconic restaurants are typically full. You might save money by finding alternatives like last-minute tickets, but you risk missing whats important to you.

LETTER: Biden the uniter turns out to be a divider - Las Vegas Review-Journal

In four decades of writing about the Las Vegas criminal underworld and government corruption, investigative reporter Jeff German took on plenty of powerful and dangerous people.

The hard-bitten newsman was once punched by an organized crime associate and received veiled threats from mobsters.

Nothing seemed to faze him as he doggedly went about his work.

So German, 69, characteristically didnt express concern when Clark county public administrator Robert Telles, a virtually unknown politician in charge of an obscure and small government office, took to Twitter last spring to angrily denounce the reporter.

German, who worked for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, had written about bullying and favoritism in the public administrators office and an inappropriate relationship by Telles with a female subordinate.

Authorities say Germans initial investigation and follow-up stories were the motivation for Telles to fatally stab German last week at the reporters home.

DNA at the scene linked Telles to the killing as did shoes and a distinctive straw hat found at his home that matched those worn by a suspect caught on video, investigators said Thursday.

Police arrested Telles on Wednesday after a brief standoff at his home. Telles was hospitalized for what Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo described as non-life-threatening, self-inflicted wounds.

Glenn Cook, executive editor of the Review-Journal, said there was talk within the newspaper about Telles being unhinged but he never made any physical threats against German and the reporter never said he was worried.

He cut his teeth covering the mob, Cook said. Jeff spent over 40 years covering the worst of the worst of Las Vegas. This was a guy who ran down mobsters, wise guys and killers.

Killings of journalists in the US in retaliation for their work are extremely rare. Up until Germans death, eight journalists have been killed in the US since 1992, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.

The deadliest attack came in 2018. A shooting at the Capital Gazette in Maryland killed five.

Jeffs death is a sobering reminder of the inherent risks of investigative journalism, said Diana Fuentes, executive director of the organization Investigative Reporters & Editors. Journalists do their jobs every day, digging deep to find information the public needs to know and has a right to see.

Telles, a Democrat who apparently had never served in public office until he was elected in 2018, ran a small office that deals with estates and the property of people after they die. Before that he was a lawyer practicing probate and estate law.

Germans reports were about an office mired in turmoil and internal dissension between longtime employees and new hires under Telles. County officials hired a consultant to help oversee the office.

The articles ruined his political career, likely his marriage, and this was him lashing out at the cause, chief deputy clark county district attorney Richard Scow said.

Germans family hailed a loving and loyal brother, uncle and friend who devoted his life to his work exposing wrongdoing in Las Vegas and beyond.

Las Vegas reporter stabbed to death spent career chasing corruption - The Guardian US

MTLEY CRE played the final show of the 2022 leg of "The Stadium Tour" Friday night (September 9) at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. But singer Vince Neil said MTLEY CRE will continue touring internationally with DEF LEPPARD in 2023, through Mexico and South America in the spring and soccer stadiums in Europe next summer. Plans are for MTLEY CRE to return to U.S. for more shows in 2024.

"We're far from being over," Neil told John Katsilometes of the Las Vegas Review-Journal in an interview that was conducted on Thursday (September 8). "When we come back in '24, we're going to do it all over again."

Neil also confirmed that there are talks of CRE returning for a third residency in Vegas, where they previously played a series of shows at the Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel in 2012 and again in 2013.

"We have definitely talked about doing it, and everybody loves to do the residencies, so I say, 'Yeah, we're gonna do it,'" Neil said. "We just have to look at sometime in '24, to be back in Vegas. But we will be back."

Vince went on to say that CRE is focusing on playing shows, with no plans to return to the studio.

"We are strictly a touring band," he said. "When you see this show at Allegiant, youll see why. You're going to see something thats unbelievable, lights and lasers, three dancers. There are a lot of cool special effects, and a cool band putting on a rock show."

On Saturday (September 10),MTLEY CRE shared a message on social media thanking fans for their support and saying that the bandmembers were "excited about the future".

"Nothing as big as this comes from any one person alone," the group wrote. "Yes, you see us onstage and sometimes it seems as if it's all about us but its really not. It's about you the fans and who makes that happen? Its a whole massive team. Hundreds of people behind the scenes everyday day and night. Every single element that you see was worked on for months and months.

"Our production team and crew are top of the top. Every light, every laser move, video content, video crew, bus and truck drivers, background dancers and choreographers, audio team, video team, back line team, programming, wardrobe, security, tour managers, agents and management.

"For now we take a final bow for these US and Canadian shows. Everybody is tired and yet excited about the future #TheFutureIsOurs

"SEE YOU IN FEBRUARY.

"special thanks to @defleppard for being the most bad ass tour partners and @poison @joanjett and @classlessact for support on the tour. Extra kick ass thank you to @samshapiromedia for documenting this tour."

"The Stadium Tour" kicked off on June 16 in Atlanta, Georgia.

CRE's long-delayed North American trek was originally planned for 2020 and later moved to 2021 and then to 2022.

Three months ago, DEF LEPPARD guitarist Phil Collen told Chile's Radio Futuro that there are plans to bring the tour with MTLEY CRE to other parts of the world. "Definitely next summer is gonna be Europe," he said. "And then South America, Australia [and] Japan next year, hopefully at some point, we'll be playing all of those markets."

When asked to clarify that the same package that is touring the U.S. will be hitting all the other markets as well, Phil said: "That's what they're talking about. Obviously, I can say, 'Yeah, let's do that,' but we've gotta ask them as well. But I think MTLEY CRE have signed up. So hopefully that's all gonna come, and Joan Jett and POISON. That would be amazing."

Last month, "The Stadium Tour" landed at No. 4 on Pollstar's LIVE75 chart, which ranks worldwide active tours by the average tickets sold for reported shows taken place over the previous 30 days. According to Pollstar, "The Stadium Tour" moved 98.5% of the available tickets from concerts at 17 venues in North American cities to average 36,763 sold seats per show. The bands also earned a $4.88 million gross average.

"The Stadium Tour" marked the CRE's first live dates since wrapping its 2014/2015 farewell tour. CRE toured with POISON back in 2011 and DEF LEPPARD teamed up with POISON for a string of road dates in 2017, but this jaunt was the first time all four acts hit the road together for an extended tour.

CRE fans who shelled out for the band's 2014/2015 "farewell" tour were led to believe that the group would never return after playing its final show on December 2015 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The band touted the signing of a pre-tour "cessation of touring" agreement as cementing the fact it truly was the end of CRE's life on the road.

In a 2013 interview with Rolling Stone magazine, CRE bassist Nikki Sixx said "the most important thing about a farewell tour is that the band doesn't lie to the fans, and the band doesn't tour and then come back years later. That's what's important for us, planning what's the right time to go out."

Three years ago, Sixx said that the Netflix biopic "The Dirt", about MTLEY CRE's formative years, sparked a renewed interest from younger fans who wanted to see them live, contributing to the band's decision to renege on its infamous "cessation of touring" contract.

MTLEY CRE recorded four new songs for its 2019 soundtrack to "The Dirt", the single "The Dirt (Est. 1981) (feat. Machine Gun Kelly)", "Ride With The Devil", "Crash And Burn" and the band's own spin on Madonna's "Like A Virgin".

CRE's last full-length collection of new material, "Saints Of Los Angeles", came out in 2008.
