COVER STORY: How Las Vegas evolved from Sin City to Super Bowl host
When the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers face off at Super Bowl LVIII, they'll compete for football's highest honor at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. The game on Sunday, Feb. 11, marks an exciting first for Las Vegas, which has never hosted the Super Bowl and, in fact, was historically shunned by professional sports teams and the NFL because of its "seedy" reputation. Correspondent Luke Burbank hears from local experts and the popular Las Vegas performer Wayne Newton about why public perceptions of Sin City have started to change.

ARTS: Candice Bergen on Truman Capote's storied Black and White Ball
In November of 1966, author Truman Capote invited 540 of his high society friends to wear only black and white, and come masked and ready to party at the Plaza Hotel in New York City. Among the swells, Frank Sinatra and Mia Farrow, Andy Warhol, Norman Mailer, Henry Fonda and 19-year-old Candice Bergen. The Black and White Ball is featured in the new FX series, "Feud: Capote vs. The Swans." Mo Rocca takes us back to what was described as "the party of the century," with actor Candice Bergen, Laurence Leamer, author of the book "Capote's Women"—upon which the TV series is based, and Tom Hollander, who portrays Capote and Jon Robin Baitz, who wrote the script.

MOVIES: Kingsley Ben-Adir takes on Bob Marley in the musical biopic "One Love"
Having portrayed both President Obama and Malcolm X, British actor Kingsley Ben-Adir is no stranger to the challenges that come with portraying iconic figures in history. For his latest challenge, Ben-Adir took a walk in Bob Marley's shoes to play the reggae legend in "Bob Marley: One Love." The upcoming biopic focuses on the making of the album Exodus, and Marley's message of unity in the 1970s during a time of political strife in his native Jamaica. Correspondent Seth Doane spoke with Ben-Adir, and Marley's son, Ziggy Marley, to talk about "One Love," ahead of its Valentine's Day premiere.

POLITICS: Immigration deal hangs in the balance as U.S. border crisis divides the country
The U.S. immigration court backlog has soared to 3.3 million as an influx of migrants arrives at the southern border, with about one-third of those backlogged cases involving asylum seekers. Congress is divided on issues around border security, and attempts to reach a deal on immigration has instead resulted in prolonged negotiations between a bipartisan group of senators and the White House. Former Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson was responsible for U.S. borders in 2013 — the last time bipartisan immigration reform legislation came close to passing, but ultimately failed. Correspondent Martha Teichner asked Johnson whether a current compromise is possible, and what that could mean for border laws today.
