The Daily Rundown - November 19th, 2025
🚗 The “Nevada Registration Spotter” website has received “a little over 14,600 submissions” since its launch on Oct. 10, a spokesman told the Las Vegas Review-Journal today. People can report vehicles operating in Nevada with expired, invalid, or no registration.
Nevada residents operating vehicles with out-of-state plates can also be reported. All information is reviewed by the DMV’s Compliance Enforcement Division, which will share data with other law enforcement agencies who can assist them, they say. Police have to see the car being driven for a citation to be issued, said a DMV spokesperson.
🎶 The Goo Goo Dolls are coming to the Las Vegas Strip. The multi-platinum rock band says they will perform five shows next May in the Venetian Theatre inside The Venetian Resort Las Vegas. Formed in the 1980s, the Goo Goo Dolls have sold 15 million records worldwide and have four Grammy nominations. Coincidentally, the band best known for its arena rock anthems and heartfelt power ballads was the latest guest to grace the Tiny Desk stage. Hear the Goo Goo Dolls’ full performance here, or tune in to Tiny Desk Radio every Friday at 6 p.m. on 88.9 KNPR.
👮 Legislation concerning law enforcement is being heard in the North Las Vegas City Council meeting as well today. With nationwide shortages in police staffing, it seems the city wants to sweeten the pot for incoming peace officer hires: reducing probationary periods for new hires in many circumstances, especially so for lateral transfers. Lateral transfers, officers with prior experience or those who have already completed a police academy, would now be hired with a reduced 12 rather than 18 month probationary period should the relevant memorandum being heard today, eventually be approved.
💍 The Las Vegas City Council is also being held today, and protections for customers of wedding chapels are on the docket. Prior legislation concerning the posting of prices for chapel services required doing so in a conspicuous place in the “office or reception room” of a chapel. The amendment being introduced for later adoption today, would require too that rates and charges should be easily found on the establishment’s website.
🦃 Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada has been serving meals to food-insecure people for six decades, as of this year. Through its Hands of Hope food pantry, the group projects it will distribute some 3,500 frozen turkeys this Thanksgiving. The nonprofit recently put out a call for donations from the community, citing the effects of rising food prices as making an unusually heavy impact on vulnerable populations.
To quantify that need, Catholic Charities CEO Sara Ramirez said, "On average, we serve about 450 individuals a day, and in just the last six days, we've had a 60% increase, where we are doing 650-700 lunches a day. And that's just in one of our programs." At Thanksgiving time, people often think of sharing their bounty with others, but Ramirez said the need for community support extends well past the holidays. Hear the full conversation with Sara Ramirez and KNPR's Heidi Kyser here.
