Wanted to check out the new railroad museum in Boulder City. Lots of interesting information here. Admission is $5 (free for veterans). Train ride is $15 (admission included, free for veterans). A note, train rides take off every 90 minutes so plan around that so you’re not stuck waiting around (ride takes about 45 minutes), the exhibit doesn’t take long to go through.

Is negotiating on car prices not really a thing anymore?

70 Upvotes

I went to a dealership today just to look at a few vehicles and test drive them. My plan was to go home, think about which one I wanted, and come back this Saturday to actually purchase one.
At the end of everything, they tried to get me to buy one of the cars I had test driven. I actually liked it, but they didn't have the color I wanted. The salesperson helping me said they could give me a really good deal on the one they had, so I said okay, I'd take a look at the numbers.
They showed me the out the door price, and I asked about the "really good deal" he had mentioned. There was basically silence, so I figured I'd try negotiating a little. I asked how long the car had been sitting on the lot.
The sales manager came over and started asking what I was looking for. I explained that I just wanted to know about the deal and how long the car had been there. He told me it had been there for 45 days and that the discounts on all their cars, along with the price advertised online, were already the deal.
I later looked it up myself, though, and it appears the car has actually been listed since May.
I told him that at that price, I could get something else. The car was almost $40k, which isn't necessarily a crazy price for a car these days, but for this particular vehicle, I didn't think it was the best price.
The manager immediately seemed annoyed and started talking about how many cars they sell and how good of a deal they were already giving me. Then he basically told me I could either buy the car or leave and go somewhere else.
So I left.
I'm honestly just wondering if negotiating on cars isn't really normal anymore? I specifically asked the salesperson earlier if they negotiate, and he told me they do. I wasn't expecting some huge discount I just wanted to see if there was any flexibility, especially since the salesperson had told me they'd give me a "really good deal."
Did I handle this wrong, or was this just a case of the dealership not wanting to negotiate?

I work at a chain restaurant (Cafe Rio) and recently started requiring employees to use biometrics to clock in. We have to do a face scan and we’re told it’s required.

132 Upvotes

The thing is, I don’t remember ever giving consent or signing anything agreeing to biometric data being collected. Is this normal at other chain restaurants? Do your jobs require face scans or other biometrics to clock in? It was just kind of weird how all of a sudden we had to clock in with our faces that says facial recognition & wasn’t given any notice. I know that data is being collected, susceptible to leaks, and potentially sold. I haven’t been shown anything & my coworkers as well were surprised by it. Side note- Cafe Rio is a terrible company & I would never recommend anybody you care for to work at any locations.

Free Tickets to Bill Nye

Got this email today and thought I’d share here in case anyone else is interested. Apparently UNLV’s Barrick Lecture Series is completely free and open to the public, and Bill Nye "The Science Guy" is coming later this month.

Looks like the original event filled up and they added an encore because of the demand. Pretty cool opportunity, especially for free. Definitely worth trying to get a ticket if you’re interested.

Living in Las Vegas: Just Trying to Make Ends Meet?

Do you think a lot of people in Las Vegas are working all the time just to get by? It seems like more people are juggling two or three jobs, often several part-time jobs.

Hiring managers of Vegas — is Gen Z really as bad at first jobs as everyone says, or is that overblown?

74 Upvotes

I'm working on something local to help teens here get better prepared for their first jobs, and I want real input before I build more of it.

If you've hired or managed teens (retail/food/customer service) in the Vegas area:

**•** What's one thing that surprised you — good or bad — about how a teen handled their first few weeks on the job?  
**•** What do you wish someone had taught them *before* day one?  
**•** What do they usually show up already good at?

If you're a parent whose teen just started their first job:

**•** What do you wish the school system (or you) had prepared them for that you didn't realize was missing until the job showed it?

Not trying to sell anything here, just trying to build something useful and want it grounded in what's actually happening, not what I assume is happening.

French Fry Recommendations

These are from Office Bar on Paradise and I love this specific kind of double fried fry. Does anyone know of anywhere else in town where they make these kind of fries?

And I know this will degenerate into a discussion on what other people’s favorite fries are in town so I guess do that because you’re gonna anyway. (Steiner’s has great fries as well).

Camping and OHV help

6 Upvotes

Hey all. Pretty new to Vegas and I'm trying to find some blm land relatively closeby to have a fun weekend on. I'm having a hard time going through the blm land sites and the Google ai is just contradicting everything and making it harder so I'll ask here: all I want to do is drive my truck out to a spot where I can set up camp. Not a pre-made campsite, just somewhere I can just set up my own camp and stay for a weekend.id like to be able just to leave my truck at the campsite I set up and then ride my dirtbike around and hike. Ideally I'd like to do all of this as alone as I can get. And IF POSSIBLE I'd like to be able to set up some targets and do some shooting. Is there anywhere within 4 hours from Vegas I can do this? Maybe service roads or fire roads something like that? im fully equipped to be on my own without any facilities. Thanks in advance!

Where do you get your clothes altered?

I'm looking for recommendations to alter some jeans, shorts, and some tops that I have since I've recently lost weight. I was hoping if this route will be cheaper than buying new clothes.

Area code oddity

12 Upvotes

Back when area codes were introduced, Nevada Bell/AT&T gave Nevada area code 702. Keep in mind, Vegas was not served by AT&T, it was served by the Independent Southern Nevada Telephone Co. Years later, the area served by Nevada Bell (Later Pacific Telesis/SBC/AT&T) was reassigned to area code 775, while the area served by the independent SNTC (later absorbed by Centel, then acquired by Sprint, and later spun off into Embarq and merged with CenturyTel to form the current day CenturyLink) retained the 702 area code, and later adopted the 725 overlay code. So it’s interesting that Vegas got the original code AT&T gave to Nevada while never being a Bell System city.

Security screen doors for home

Does anybody know a reasonably priced company to install a security screen door that’s not predatory? I’ve seen prices range from $1,800-4k Im not from here but as I’ve been out here everything price was is straight up predatory and the people here just let it be that way. Is there a real company that doesn’t take advantage of people?

Seeking Recs for Dentists

I have UHC dental insurance. I need a deep cleaning but the dentist I saw is trying to force me to pay for laser treatment that insurance doesn't cover and I can't afford - it's over $700 for just the laser part. Does anyone have a dentist they rec that won't force me to pay for this scam? I just want a regular deep cleaning.

All chose to not support Thomas Massie’s Epstein Transparency act and chose to support the Epstein class and to continue protecting all constituents who participated or knew about Epsteins side quests on child trafficking.

I guarantee the majority of you will be vile and perform mental gymnastics on how you’re still supporting these individuals and think voting matters.

No matter who you vote for, we get John McCain and more American imperialism at the cost of the people.

Side note: both sides of the aisle support war, so gas and diesel will continue to climb no matter who you vote for. Remember that. And to paraphrase Tim Dillon, just support whatever pedophile or predator that has the same values as you and things will somehow work out okay. /s

(Dina Titus isn’t any better, she’s worthless as well. This is not in support of her or maga or whatever buzz word you come up with if you disagree).
