June 4,2025

 The "Strawberry Moon" is the name given to the full moon in June, a tradition originating with Native American tribes in North America. It's not actually pink or reddish, but rather its name refers to the time of year when strawberries ripen and are ready to be picked. This full moon is particularly noticeable because it's one of the lowest-hanging moons of the year due to the Earth's orbit.

New in The Indy: Civil war brewing over NBA arena on Las Vegas Strip • GOP agitator challenging a top Democratic lawmaker • Billionaire withdraws offer to buy remaining MGM Resorts shares • Caesars shareholders OK Fertitta merger • OPINION: How I learned to stop worrying and love data centers Good morning. It seems that whenever there are distinct divisions between anything north or south, a conflict of some type is inevitable. Even in Nevada where those who live in the northern or southern parts of the state are fiercely loyal to their hometowns. Today, senior reporter Howard Stutz brings news of a different type of battle brewing — one between the northern and southern portions of the famed Las Vegas Strip. The division lies in determining which area would be best suited for an NBA arena, even though a team isn’t yet guaranteed to be awarded to the city. Also today, environmental reporter Amy Alonzo shares what she saw after surveying from the air the damage left by the summer wildfires in Nevada in this month’s Indy Environment, available exclusively by email subscription.

There’s an opportunity for the NBA to have their own neighborhood [at Resorts World], and that would be very compelling.” — Jim Murren, former MGM Resorts CEO and adviser to Resorts World Las Vegas, about a potential north Strip site adjacent to the casino-hotel for a new NBA stadium πŸ€ North or South: Civil war brewing over NBA arena on Las Vegas Strip Las Vegas is most likely the next city to be awarded an NBA expansion team, and those close to the process believe T-Mobile Arena is the front-runner to be the home venue. Meanwhile, Bill Foley, who owns NHL’s Vegas Golden Knights that call the arena home, has emerged as leading the ownership sweepstakes that could cost as much as $10 billion. Sources close to the expansion talks said two north Strip sites have emerged as potential competitors for the arena — more than 40 acres of undeveloped land adjacent to Resorts World Las Vegas and a vacant 38-acre parcel across from Wynn Las Vegas.
