Mysterious monolith discovered in Nevada desert

LAS VEGAS (FOX5/Gray News) – A mysterious monolith was discovered in a wildlife refuge north of Las Vegas this weekend.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said their Search and Rescue team discovered the strange formation near Gass Peak in the Desert National Wildlife Refuge. Gass Peak is one of the highest peaks in the area surrounding Las Vegas.

Las Vegas police used the monolith sighting to remind hikers to prepare themselves before braving the wilderness. These include telling someone where they’re going, researching the weather beforehand and bringing additional food, water and light.

This is not the first time mysterious monoliths have popped out in the U.S. In 2020, a monolith was discovered in the Utah desert, another was found at the pinnacle of a trail in California and a third was found near Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Others were found worldwide, including in Romania and at a Turkish World Heritage site, although that was discovered to be a gimmick by the Turkish government.

A majority of the monoliths were destroyed or removed soon after their discovery, with some vandals citing concerns over the impact foot traffic to see the oddity could have on its surroundings.

Reno wind advisory continues; snow, sun in the Northern Nevada forecast

The strong winds Northern Nevadans experienced on Sunday, May 11, will continue through today in Reno and Lake Tahoe. The high wind advisory from the National Weather Service is set to end at 5 p.m., but calm, summery weather won’t return just yet.

In addition to the wind, both Reno and Lake Tahoe have a chance of precipitation through midweek, NWS Reno said.

Warm temperatures and sunny skies are expected to return after this wintry spell, though showers could make a comeback over the weekend.

Here’s a closer look at the forecast for Reno and Lake Tahoe this week:

What will weather conditions on Interstate 80-Donner Pass be?

While little to no snow accumulation is expected in the mountains above Reno, travel impacts on I-80 are unlikely. However, high winds could pose issues over Donner Pass.

Here’s the Tahoe road conditions and storm watch resources to keep up to date on the roads before you leave on your trip.

10 hospitalized in California, Nevada due to listeria outbreak linked to ready-to-eat foods

10 hospitalized in California, Nevada due to listeria outbreak linked to ready-to-eat foods

A listeria outbreak linked to ready-to-eat foods, including sandwiches and pasta, left 10 people hospitalized in California and Nevada.

Fresh & Ready Foods had voluntarily recalled several of its ready-to-eat foods amid the outbreak of listeria, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said in an outbreak advisory May 10.

The ready-to-eat foods, meaning they do not require additional cooking, have “use by” dates ranging from April 22 to May 19, and include products like sandwiches, pasta and snack items.

The products were sold in Arizona, California, Nevada and Washington at locations like hospitals, hotels and airports, per the advisory. The affected items are under the brand names Fresh & Ready Foods, City Point Market Fresh Food to Go and Fresh Take Crave Away.

The FDA and Centers for Disease Control started investigating the cluster of listeria cases in 2024 but couldn’t pinpoint a source, the advisory states. The FDA reopened the investigation in April 2025 after listeria was found in samples from Fresh & Ready Foods, and an analysis of the strain proved a match to the strain causing the illnesses.

Eight people have been hospitalized in California and two in Nevada due to the listeria outbreak. The onset of illness ranged from December 2023 to September 2024, per data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

“While no illnesses have been reported related to the specific products distributed between 04/18/2025 and 04/28/2025 as listed below, this action is being taken as a precautionary measure to ensure the continued safety of our consumers,” Fresh & Ready Foods said in a news release.

The FDA advises consumers not to eat the more than 75 affected products — see a full list here. Anyone who bought the recalled items should clean and sanitize anything that touched the food.

Listeria is a bacteria that can withstand refrigeration, per Mayo Clinic. Symptoms of listeria infection include diarrhea, an upset stomach, vomiting, or, if it spreads through the blood, fever, headache, stiff neck, loss of balance, seizures and more. Newborns, people who are pregnant and those with weakened immune systems are more at risk of severe illness from listeria infection.
