Democrats have retaken a narrow lead in Nevada voter registrations. After Republicans held the advantage for over a year, June figures show Democrats at 581,920 active voters versus Republicans at 581,418. Nonpartisans remain the largest group at nearly 799K.
A new analysis shows the traditional 20% tipping standard fading, with the average now at 18.8%. Full-service restaurants average 19.3%, quick-service 15.8%. Delaware leads at 22.1%; California lags at 17.3%. Nevada averages 18.2%. Tipping evolved from 10% in the early 1900s to 15% by the 1980s and 20% recently. This comes amid the "no tax on tips" policy, which allows service workers to retain more of their earnings by exempting gratuities from federal income taxes.

In October 2025, President Trump directed the resumption of nuclear weapons testing at the Nevada National Security Site in response to advances by Russia, China, and North Korea. As of May 2026, no full-scale explosive tests have occurred. The site conducted over 1,000 nuclear tests from 1951 to 1992 before the U.S. adopted a testing moratorium. Strong opposition and major technical hurdles continue to prevent resumption.
