LAS VEGAS (KLAS)-- The woman behind the sexual harassment lawsuit against former CEO of CrossRoads of Southern Nevada and co-founder of Vegas Stronger sat down with the I-Team to discuss the allegations.

Speaking under conditions of anonymity to protect her identity, the woman who goes by the fictitious name of “Gahyne Doahe” to protect her identity explained to the I-Team why she decided to come forward.

“I want to make sure that no other girl goes through the brutal torture that I endured on a daily basis for close to two months,” she said.

LAS VEGAS (KLAS)-- Local traffic officials encouraged safety on the roads Wednesday, as what many call "Drinksgiving" sparks a dangerous trend on our valley roads.

Many are focused on family as Thanksgiving is upon us, but the holiday does also mean a slew of issues on the streets.

"There are so many people that are trying to get to their families," Las Vegas driver Kristan Hill said.

Wednesday saw several crashes; one deadly and another with DUI suspected.

"It's a big concern of mine," Hill said. "Because I'm trying to get home to my family and my children."

Hill told 8 News Now she and other drivers have concerns, as tourists and locals head out to drink, then get behind the wheel.

Retired police officer Dave Kohlmeier said this has caused many to coin the day before Turkey Day as "Drinksgiving."... Read More

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) -- Five years after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention initiated a crackdown on opioid pain medications, experts have concluded the policy has been a miserable failure. Overdose deaths have gone up, not down, and now, courts are starting to recognize the arguments used to justify the crackdown are largely bogus.

"So these numbers, they just push these false numbers and now you have courts of law calling them out," said Dr. Dan Laird.

As a Las Vegas physician, Laird has a unique vantage point from which to evaluate the great opioid crackdown. Laird is a pain management doctor and an attorney who represented patients who suffered pain after being denied legal medications.

Of the 50 million Americans plagued by chronic pain, about 20 million depend on prescription opioids to try and lead somewhat normal lives. Since 2016, those millions have suffered immensely because of a war on legal pain meds. ... Read More
