Hi, Nevadans!
I’ve always believed in ghosts, spirits, entities—whatever you want to call them. I’m too afraid to ghost hunt myself, though. But if you’re courageous enough, Nevada has plenty of opportunities to interact with the paranormal. Oooo, spooky!
On a less haunted note: While travel is down nationwide, the Reno airport had its best month in 20 years. I’m hopeful for more time options and affordable choices for flights from Las Vegas to Reno—a 5 a.m. flight is not worth it, I’d rather drive. IYKYK.
Have a good week!

The August numbers put the Reno airport’s total passenger counts for the year at 3.3 million. Based on the numbers, Reno-Tahoe International Airport is on pace to reach an annual count of 4.9 million passengers by the end of 2025.
Reno airport officials are hoping that new routes will help boost passenger counts toward the end of the year. The upcoming options include the return of Alaska Airlines’s San Diego route as a year-round flight by this October at Reno-Tahoe International Airport. Frontier is also launching a new Reno-Phoenix route on Nov. 22, according to the Reno-Tahoe airport authority.
Should the passenger projections hold up, Reno-Tahoe International Airport will beat last year’s annual count of 4.8 million passengers. Last year’s annual passenger count was also the highest in 20 years, according to the airport.

Judge says Sigal Chattah is not validly serving as Nevada’s acting US attorney: “U.S. District Judge David Campbell wrote in a 32-page ruling that he is disqualifying Chattah from supervising prosecutions against four people who had challenged their indictments brought after the Department of Justice designated her as the state’s acting U.S. attorney …. Based on this determination, Campbell wrote that there are three options on how to proceed: The president can appoint a temporary acting U.S. attorney that abides by certain strict federal requirements, the existing judges on Nevada’s federal bench can appoint someone to the role, or the president can nominate someone to the position full-time and seek confirmation from the Senate.” (The Nevada Independent)

Nevada Health Link premiums expected to rise 26% for 2026: “The average approved rate increase of 26% is significantly higher than the 17.5% average proposed increase announced by the Nevada Division of Insurance in late July. The July estimate was based on preliminary filings, according to the division, and has been adjusted upward by carriers because of ‘rising medical costs and prescription drug spending, increased medical utilization and a less healthy risk pool, Medicaid unwinding and the expiration of enhanced federal premium subsidies.’” (Nevada Current)
