The Nevada Gaming Control Board on Wednesday reported the best February ever in casino winnings, at $1.1 billion. Harry Reid International Airport on Tuesday reported monthly passenger traffic more than doubled in February from a year ago. The airport announced that 16 airlines will begin nonstop service in coming weeks to destinations in countries including Mexico, the United Kingdom and Germany.
