Mass shootings have been on the rise in the United States since the early 2000s, but until the heartbreak of the 1 October 2017 Route 91 Harvest Music Festival, the citizens of Las Vegas had never experienced the violence and tragedy of this now all-too-frequent occurrence. That day, fifty-eight people were shot to death on site, while another two victims later died of their injuries. The 1 October incident physically wounded nearly 900 concert-goers, but psychologically impacted countless untold victims. As individual and institutional response to urgent requests for help came in both during and after the 1 October catastrophe, those who call Las Vegas home struggled to cope with pain and grief. Now, editor Roberta Sabbath draws together a collection of personal essays, oral histories, interviews, scholarly writings, and commentaries to remember those whose lives were lost, and to honor survivors and their loved ones. Written five years after the tragedy, each contribution offers a unique story of healing, demonstrating the wide-ranging experiences and repercussions of the event. The essays in this collection represent a broad diversity of voices from political leaders, health professionals, first responders, community members, and incident survivors. This work is dedicated to those who lost their lives on 1 October 2017, to survivors and their loved ones, and to the caregivers—both individual and institutional—all of whom continue to keep Vegas Strong.

58 people killed. 500+ people injured. Hundreds of first responders and civilians protecting and saving countless lives. Thousands of Las Vegas residents coming together to help. 19 stories about the city we love. October 1, 2017. It's a day the world will never forget, and the people of Las Vegas will always remember. One man committed an act of domestic terrorism on a crowd of unsuspecting concert attendees and changed this city forever. In the days that followed, a city that was bruised and battered proved just how strong it truly is. Blood banks had lines that never ended. Food was delivered to police stations, fire stations, and community centers. Massages were donated to therapists helping everyone who needed someone to talk to. Vegas Strong was on buildings, signs, and t-shirts all over a city that came together in unexpected and beautiful ways. During those first few days, two authors had a late-night talk about what they could do to help, and this anthology was born. Authors who live in Las Vegas, or grew up here, were asked to write about their favorite places in Vegas or just Vegas itself. These are their Fiction and Non-Fiction stories. We hope you enjoy them and never forget that one person can make a difference or that love will always win against hate.

An inside look at how craft beer makers and IPA devotees come together to brew, taste, and enjoy fine ale while also building a sense of community in Las Vegas Equally reviled and revered as Sin City, Las Vegas is both exceptional and emblematic of contemporary American cultural practices and tastes. Michael Ian Borer takes us inside the burgeoning Las Vegas craft beer scene to witness how its adherents use beer to create and foster not just a local culture but a locals’ culture. Through compelling, detailed first-hand accounts and interviews, Vegas Brews provides an unprecedented look into the ways that brewers, distributors, bartenders, and drinkers fight against the perceived and preconceived norm about what “happens in Vegas” and lay claim to a part of their city that is too often overshadowed by the bright lights of tourist sites. Borer shows how our interactions with the things we care about—and the ways that we care about how they’re made, treated, and consumed—can lead to new senses of belonging and connections with and to others and the places where we live. In a world where people and things move around at an extraordinary pace, the folks Borer spent time talking (and drinking) with remind us to slow down and learn how to taste the “good life,” or at least a semblance of it, even in a city where style is often valued over substance.

On Sunday, October 1, 2017, a gunman opened fire from thirty-two floors above a crowd of concertgoers at the Route 91 Harvest Festival on the Las Vegas Strip. The event left fifty-eight people killed, more than 860 injured, and thousands psychologically wounded. To date, this was the deadliest mass shooting in the United States in the last seventy years. Despite the chaos and terror, first responders, concert-goers, and passersby aided victims and survivors. Nearby businesses, hotels, and the university provided safety and services. Medical personnel rushed to area hospitals. And as the scope of the tragedy unfolded, the people of Las Vegas flooded blood donation centers and offered food, water, comfort, and care. And they created a garden—The Las Vegas Community Healing Garden. The story of the garden unfolds through photographs and the words of survivors, first responders, family members, medical professionals, counselors, and members of the community. In only a matter of days, volunteers and local businesses transformed a vacant downtown lot into a serene urban oasis. Families and friends of those lost in the tragedy soon adopted each of the fifty-eight trees planted in honor of their loved ones, and visitors left behind colorful mementos, including painted rocks, photographs, and ornaments, as well as words of encouragement, love, loss, and strength. In the aftermath of 1 October, an often misunderstood city revealed its soul under the most heartbreaking of circumstances. The inspirational voices and stories from a community touched by tragedy provide comfort and encouragement. And the organic response to the unthinkable is a testament to how one community came together at its darkest hour, chose hope over despair, unity over hate.

Ash I am the Club Princess. A role I never asked for, nor had any choice in. My brother Raven, the current president of the Stormy Souls MC, tends to keep his eyes on me. Understandable after the turbulent and violent time the Club has been through. He is overprotective and a typical Alpha male, but then, so are all the members. Having brought up my younger brother Nathan since my mother drank herself to death, and surviving retaliation attacks nearly costing me my life, I don’t want anything to do with that kind of life. Nathan is growing up and going to college, and I can final pick up my life and live it for myself. Overcome my own fears and anxiety and show the world my teeth! To do that, there are a few secrets I somehow must deal with. Easier said than done if those secrets involve the Club Vice President. When my best friend gets hospitalized, it sets of a chain reaction, that throws me closer to the one man I should never even look at, never mind anything else, as he embodies everything I despise about Club life. He is cold, hard and dark, sexy and his need for absolute control evident in the way he lives. Yet his steel grey eyes are difficult to avoid. He is everything I shouldn’t want, but maybe his dark is what I need right now to manage my anxiety ? I am confused and stay away from him and the club as much as I can, trying to avoid him, and giving my tormentor the chance of chasing me down. Instead, I concentrate on my job and my friends . It is getting harder and harder though and my secrets are threatening to take me down into a big deep dark hole. Can I confide in this man without an internal war breaking out? Vegas I have spent a lot of my life living for today and mostly for the Club. I love my brothers, they are my family, replacing the one I lost years ago. My grandmother brought me up when my mother couldn’t or wouldn’t, not sure, never asked, never bothered me. I had a great upbringing and my grandmother loved me as much as she instilled values into me. Values that match with those of my chosen family. I’ve been with the Stormy Souls for many years and they are my life. I witnessed leadership changes and experienced the Club slowly changing from pure 1% er, to a Club that earns it’s money by completely legal means, gives a shit about it’s members and their families. I am not a good person, and I am not proud of everything I have done and would still do in my Club’s name, but I am proud to see that I’ll protect my chosen family with everything I have. I don’t want a woman hanging off me, depending on me. The concept of an old lady makes me smirk and run a mile. I have very distinct tastes when it comes to women. My taste are dark, driven by the need for control and I like it like that . I only play with willing females under certain parameters. That way there is no confusion as to the state of affairs. I am not a hit it and quit it kinda guy, I prefer to play with one woman, who is completely under my control, serving my needs. For two long years, I have been haunted by a set of deep green eyes, belonging to everything I shouldn’t want in a woman. I know she is untouchable and that is fine by me, it keeps my dark urges at bay. Just lately circumstance – call it fate if you like—has other ideas though and we seem to be thrown together through one event or another. I am sorely tempted. But it would cost me dearly, too dearly to get involved. Yet I am unable to severe that connection we have.

This volume contains papers presented at the Workshop on Groups and Computation, held in October, 1991. The workshop explored interactions among four areas: symbolic algebra and computer algebra, theoretical computer science, group theory, and applications of group computation. The relationships between implementation and complexity form a recurrent theme, though the papers also discuss such topics as parallel algorithms for groups, computation in associative algebras, asymptotic behavior of permutation groups, the study of finite groups using infinite reflection groups, combinatorial searching, computing with representations, and Cayley graphs as models for interconnection networks.

"VEGAS HOCKEY, VEGAS STRONG" This complete narrative of "VEGAS HOCKEY, VEGAS STRONG" is informative and emotive with stories never told, providing readers with a thorough understanding of the history of hockey in Las Vegas. The evolution of hockey led to the NHL granting Las Vegas its first Big Four sports franchise. The sport grew from a few avid players forming a team in the mob-built International Ice Palace, to the first time pro players suited up in Vegas at Caesars Palace, to the triumph of the World Champion Golden Knights. The idea of hosting a professional hockey game in the middle of the desert was indeed an unconventional concept. Unforeseen challenges arose, such as the ice melting the day of the event and a plague of grasshoppers affecting the competition. This landmark event in 1991 laid the groundwork for future endeavors. Humorous and never-told-before exploits of the Flash include the brawl and subsequent expulsion of four-time Stanley Cup champion and member of the 1980 Miracle on Ice gold Medal team, Ken Morrow, in a game with the Vancouver VooDoo. Then there was the contingent of Russian players arrested for shoplifting women's underwear on the Strip and the team practicing outdoors in 100-plus degrees. The Wranglers had Prison Night in prison garb and Pajama Nights when games started at midnight. The Aces were a rag-tag team of thugs, and the team drew full houses for free beer nights. The Flash, Aces and Wranglers were full of laughs and mishaps. The public was never privy to the bungles by management, but these stories are now brought to light. Much of what transpired in the growth of hockey came from the efforts of authors Robert (Bob) Lawson and Richard Gubbe. Lawson had brought the Aces into existence and was the architect of the Flash, as well as the creation of youth hockey with his father. Gubbe was the lead coordinator of the game at Caesars and assisted with PR efforts for the Aces, Flash and youth hockey. Together, the authors of this book were instrumental in forming the triumphant statement, "VEGAS HOCKEY, VEGAS STRONG."
