Clark County commissioners unanimously approved an agreement between the county and UNLV regarding some 60 acres of county property that UNLV needs to develop its mega-event center.

Forget the UNLV football team's 2-9 record. At the friendly confines of Sam Boyd Stadium, the Rebels are a better team. Both of the Rebels’ wins have come at home, and more importantly, they’ve had a second-half lead in five of their six home contests. Home game No. 7 is at 1 p.m. Saturday against Wyoming (3-7 overall, 2-4 Mountain West) in another game in which the Rebels expect to be competitive.
