I went to Las Vegas, and there are a few things I would and wouldn't do again. Though Las Vegas is known for gambling, I didn't think playing the slots was worth it. Plus, from seeing Las Vegas in movies and TV shows, it always looked like a unique, exciting place. Although I felt like I saw a lot over my 72 hours in Las Vegas, I only scratched the surface. Here are three things I'd do again and two things I'd skip if I went to Las Vegas again.

On Oct. 8 — the opening night of the NHL season — that dream came true: Campbell made her debut as the first full-time female coach in the league. "It fuels me every day just knowing that I'm a part of something way bigger than myself and my job and my coaching," Campbell told NHL.com.

In today’s edition, politics reporter Allan Smith looks at how Elon Musk could help (or hurt) Donald Trump on the campaign trail. Plus, national political correspondent Steve Kornacki breaks down the different paths to victory Kamala Harris and Trump are attempting to chart in Pennsylvania. The disparate images helped paint a picture of both the benefits and the detriments to having Musk in Trump’s corner. Musk’s appearance at Trump’s Pennsylvania rally over the weekend was the culmination of a yearslong rightward drift for the eccentric billionaire, expedited by his purchase of Twitter in 2022. After his appearance in western Pennsylvania, Musk started to offer people $47 if they successfully get a swing-state voter to sign onto a petition backing the First and Second Amendments.

In her new memoir, Melania Trump says she backs abortion rights but leaves some gray area as to whether she supports restrictions. "There are several legitimate reasons for a woman to choose to have an abortion. For instance, if her life is at risk, rape, a congenital birth defect, plus severe medical conditions," Melania Trump wrote. The presidential campaign of her husband, former President Donald Trump, directed questions to Melania Trump aide Madison Porter, who did not return a request seeking comment. In interviews about her book, Melania Trump said that her husband was aware of her position early in their relationship.

On Nov. 5, the Decision Desk will project 610 races across all 50 states, from the presidential election to statewide and congressional contests. Early on election night, the Decision Desk uses exit poll data to determine whether it can project uncompetitive races. When a party has gained a majority of 218 seats in the House, the Decision Desk will project control for that party. Other sources for election vote data include state and county vote computer feeds and websites, when they are available. Exit poll results are independently analyzed in real time, and NBC News calls all races as soon as the Decision Desk is fully confident in the winner.

None of the top five fantasy players coming into the season based on average draft position is in the top 48 in fantasy scoring. (The fantasy scoring numbers here are provided by TruMedia, and the average draft position statistics were compiled by Fantasy Pros.) Aaron Jones (15.7 fantasy ppg) has been a good pick but left early Sunday with a hip injury. The only bright spot for Las Vegas is rookie tight end Brock Bowers, who is 76th in fantasy scoring (13.3). Brian Thomas Jr. is 35th in fantasy scoring (16.2 ppg), which is second-best among rookie wide receivers behind only Malik Nabers.

☆ Mega Millions lottery is more than doubling the price of a ticket to $5
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-08 | by ( Jordan Valinsky | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

New York CNN —The cost of a Mega Millions ticket is more than doubling, but the multi-state lottery game is promising that the bigger price comes with better odds. It’s the second time the price of a ticket has increased in Mega Millions’ 22-year history: In 2017, the price jumped from $1 to $2 — the same cost of a Powerball ticket. That’s also when Mega Millions adopted its current format of choosing six total numbers from two different pools – and when all the numbers match, including the gold Mega Ball, the player wins the jackpot. Mega Millions said that the increased ticket price will cause larger-starting jackpots, as well as faster-growing jackpots. Mega Millions is available to play in 45 states plus Washington, DC, and the US Virgin Islands.

☆ Why oil and gas markets are dreading the risk of supply disruption in the Strait of Hormuz
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-08 | by ( Sam Meredith | In Samuelmeredith | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

In 2022, oil flow in the Strait of Hormuz averaged 21 million barrels per day, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Saul Kavonic, senior research analyst at MST Financial, said supply disruptions along the Strait of Hormuz could send oil prices significantly higher. Oil prices traded more than 3% on Monday, extending gains even after notching their sharpest weekly gain since early 2023 last week. "But seeing where the oil price sits right now the market doesn't seem to hold much probability for such a development at all," he added. "A significant disruption to these flows would be enough to push oil prices to new record highs, surpassing the record high of close to $150/bbl in 2008," he added.
