City moves closer to settling battle over Badlands
The city council took a big step forward Wednesday toward ending the battle over Badlands, which has become the most expensive legal fight in Las Vegas history.
It's not a done deal yet, as the vote approved non-binding terms to settle the lawsuit and sell the Badlands property to another developer. Contracts for that are still being finalized. And though it's the biggest step in years, it's one that will cost a whole lot more than if the city would have settled the Badlands cases the first time around when an offer was on the table two years ago.
Darcy Spears has been following this case for years and breaks down what came out of Wednesday's city council meeting.
Vegas Golden Knights return home to play the Vancouver Canucks
After three games on the road last week, the Golden Knights return to the Fortress to take on the Vancouver Canucks.
While not on the ice, the players have kept busy with their Holiday Knights of Giving.
The team visited children at a local hospital, spreading joy in their own special way.
Nick Walters shows us how the Golden Knights continue to have a positive impact in our valley.
The Golden Knights also partnered with the "Friends of Henderson Animal Support" for a special pet adoption event to encourage people to adopt during the holiday season.
"When we have animals here that need extra help, they need that extra helping hand, and obviously just having the community know that there's other resources out there available to them as well has been huge for us."
The VGK Foundation also covered up to $15,000 in adoption fees for animals who were adopted.
