Las Vegas came to professional sports late, and the fan base that's grown around each new team has developed a uniquely Vegas feel to it. And if you've never considered yourself a sports fan, September might be the perfect time to change that: the Raiders are kicking off their season, the Golden Knights report for training camp later this month, the Aces are on the cusp of another playoff run and UNLV football has more eyes on it than ever before. Fox 5 sports reporter Mariah Janos and local filmmaker and sports aficionado Jason Harris join us to break down the many iterations of the Vegas sports fan, why our city is a great entry point for the sports-curious, and whether Las Vegas will ever develop the kind of deep-rooted local sports identity you see in cities like Chicago, New York, or Philadelphia.

Do you know what kind of surveillance technology is being used in Las Vegas? In Nashville, the city government has blocked numerous measures to install and use it. From license plate readers to drone cameras, the technology is routinely rejected by the Metro Council and mayor, and locals are somewhat split on if that’s for the better. City Cast Nashville host Rachel Iacovone joins “Your City Could Be Better” to walk through all the measures that the Nashville government has reviewed and rejected, why people have reason to fear the tech, and what the city may lose by saying no to surveillance.

The Las Vegas airport definitely has a lot going for it, but what it doesn’t have is its own electrical grid, like Pittsburgh’s does. For the past few years, Pittsburgh International Airport has been generating on-site electricity, more than it needs even at peak operation, to fortify itself against the kind of power outages that hit airports (unsettlingly often) across the world. City Cast Pittsburgh host Megan Harris brings David into the little-known world of airport energy independence, showing how a one-time investment can bring the kind of peace of mind that both travelers and operators hope for every day.
