Las Vegas Does 670 am in Vegas still have a website?

You didn't look very hard, apparently. A search under their call letters turned this up as the second response:
www.670kmzq.com
AM670 - The RIGHT TALK for Las Vegas, NV
AM670 personalities deliver the news and stories of today with solid journalistic integrity and perspective that will keep you listening.

It is not only possible, but preferable, to provide information to other posters without insulting them.
Thanks.

Wasn't meant as an insult, but apologies to anyone who took it that way.

The one I had bookmarked for years stopped working. for anything but the player link. Found the new one. Thanks. (Nothing on weekend shows however, which was what I was looking for.).
When the storms came through last week in Phoenix and I lost my power, one of the frequencies I checked with my batter-powered Walkman-style receiver was 670. The Las Vegas station could be heard somewhat when I turned my receiver northwest/southeast but was overpowered by Denver's KLTT when I turned my receiver southwest/northeast. (And I still remember the 1970s when I could hear KBOI from Boise on that frequency--but those days are long gone.)
Now that's strange because I'm across town from them and I've got to really put on my HF ears to hear them. Almost all noise. No other station causing problems or trying to come in.

Glad I could help. Sorry I can't make them create useful content.

Many stations don't have good websites, running one can get expensive if you use the wrong service provider or have an expensive domain. One station I know of has a donation button and nothing much else.

I have to agree with you. But there are other reasons than just "the wrong ISP".
A couple of examples either way: One of the stations I program in Albuquerque (the flagship station of The Eighties Channel™) has a domain name but no actual website; it redirects to a page at my site which has the station's animated logo, a banner ad I designed promoting programming, the stream player, and another banner ad giving contact information for potential advertisers.
The owner simply doesn't want full-blown websites, and one reason is that he doesn't want to pay someone to create what he sees as non-essential extraneous content. And I see his point.
OTOH, I designed my own website around a free-to-download template, and it looks a lot better than a lot of the websites I see, for a variety of businesses.
Still, I can't excuse a station having something online that at least includes their stream.
As someone whose primary business is consulting digital platforms and strategies for broadcasters...
A station website at minimum should be a billboard for your station. Give listeners reasons to tune in. Radio already has a marketing problem, no reason to self inflict it further to listeners that want to know about your station.
It also can become your primary revenue stream. Even an LPFM can sell regular advertising on their website and be a local news, entertainment, sports, whatever platform.
Which makes me wonder how they survive. They're on AM, drop significantly in power at night making reception difficult to impossible, not on Tunin and have a very basic website in which even the contact form is broken. The Captcha doesn't work. And they don't have a translator.

Which leads me to believe there are more factors involved than just "do they have a website". Perhaps the original question for this topic was flawed.
Maybe I should start a general KQMZ thread then

I think you are correct. If we are going to discuss that station in detail, that would be more obvious a thread for people to notice if they want to comment.

I like the Car Doctor, Gun Talk and Our American Stories programming, the rest is a little too repetitive boiler plate talk radio. Of course it is all podcast eventually anyway.

*sigh*
We start a new thread to talk about the programming, so people wouldn't think we were only discussing their website, and you post here instead.
I don't know why I try to make suggestions anymore.
