¡Hola Nevadenses! 

This past weekend I stumbled across the grand opening of Alt Rebel, a secondhand clothing store in the Arts District. Taylor Rice, Alt Rebel’s owner, opened her first store during the height of the pandemic in 2020 and recently moved her shop to its new location on Main Street. You can shop online as well as book an appointment at their website to sell them your cool vintage wardrobe items (clothes, shoes, accessories) from the 60s to 2000s.

Increasingly, more people are choosing to buy secondhand not only to save money but to do wonders for the environment. Many folks love to curate and create their own unique fashion style too. So, if you are looking for ways to reduce your carbon footprint in 2025, shopping secondhand is one way to go!

Here are other cool thrift stores in Las Vegas and Reno.

The largest manmade reservoir in the United States, Lake Mead is hiding everything from fighter jets to entire towns. Since the lake’s water level has dropped dramatically over the years due to drought and water usage, some hidden treasures have reemerged. Some are explorable via underwater expeditions while others can be visited by foot. Here are seven sunken treasures hiding in the waters of Lake Mead and Hoover Dam..

• Struggling with your mental health after surviving a disaster? Here’s how to look after yourself. There’s the initial shock and chaos in a collective disaster like the deadly and destructive California wildfires. Along with meeting urgent physical needs in the aftermath of disasters like wildfires and hurricanes, there are ways for those affected and those who want to support them to take care of the psychological and mental needs that may arise.

Abrió sus puertas Alt Rebel. Un mural dedicado al Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional (EZLN) adorna el acceso de una tienda especializada en artículos de “medio cachete” en el Distrito de las Artes. Adquirir mercancía de segunda mano es una brillante alternativa para ahorrar dinero, crear un estilo propio y reducir la contaminación que genera la basura. El 1 de enero de 1994, en Chiapas, México, el Subcomandante Marcos frente al EZLN visibilizó a los indígenas con un movimiento de liberación basado en el principio de igualdad y, en Alt Rebel, se permea un sueño de justicia social. Los indígenas no son invisibles, tienen voz y derechos.
