TORONTO, Canada — If you thought tickets were expensive for Golden Knight games, just wait til you see how bad this Toronto Maple Leafs PRESEASON game is. According to a local reporter, fans were paying upwards of $600 for the team’s first preseason match-up of the year.

This is crazy: Last night, Leafs tickets for the pre-season game tonight in St. John's were going for $600 a piece. Today, not a ticket to be found on StubHub.

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Margaret Rudin, the woman convicted of killing her millionaire husband in Las Vegas in 1994, appeared before the Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners on Wednesday.

Rudin, now 76-years-old, was accused of shooting 64-year-old Ron Rudin in the head while he slept. She was extradited to Nevada in 1999 to face the charges. Rudin was found guilty of murder with a deadly weapon during a 10-week trial in 2001, making it the longest criminal trial in the history of Las Vegas.

During the parole hearing, Rudin’s attorney Travis Barrick noted she doesn’t pose a risk to the public, something he gleaned after getting to know her over the years. He said she has a “fully developed sense of injustice or right and wrong.” She allegedly stuck up for other inmates and cared about other people in the prison. ... Read More

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Traffic safety experts are celebrating National Roundabouts Week this week. Las Vegas has done its part in contributing to the history of roundabouts.

While safety experts are celebrating this week, drivers are more split on the topic. James Stillson has lived in Las Vegas for 20 years, and he is not too big of a fan.
