At KNPR, Fred Wasser reports on the Nevada State Museum  exhibit that explores how Las Vegas has been marketed, which is preserved because of all the ashtrays, matchbooks, and other emperhal taken home as souvenirs.  “Branding Las Vegas, 1941-1958 – Highlights from the Greeno Collection”

Opinion: From the op-ed by Elaine Wynn titled "Basin and Range a landmark success." ​
"A year ago Sunday, I proudly stood in the Oval Office witnessing President Barack Obama sign the designation of Basin and Range as a national monument. I was lucky enough to be joined at that signing by many other great Nevadans, including a rancher from the area near the new monument; our congressional leaders; and Michael Heizer, the genius behind 'City,' a world-class landscape-scale art project now surrounded by what’s now the Basin and Range National Monument"
