🌱 Adele Residency Rescheduled + Police Seeking Help In Shooting
The quickest way to get caught up on the most important things happening today in Las Vegas.
Good morning, neighbors! It's me again, Dominique-Noelle Rafael, your host of the Las Vegas Daily.
First, today's weather:
A shower in the p.m.; breezy. High: 62 Low: 45.
Here are the top three stories in Las Vegas today:
- Adele has announced all dates of her Las Vegas Strip residency have been rescheduled. The singer cited delivery delays and a COVID-19 outbreak among her team as reasons her show won't be opening today at Ceasars Palace. Rescheduled dates will be forthcoming. (FOX5 Las Vegas)
- Las Vegas Police are seeking tips in a deadly drive-by Halloween party shooting. The October shooting took the life of 22-year-old Graciela Gomez, a member of the Nevada Army National Guard. Leads have dried up and police are asking the public for any assistance. The shooting happened at a home on Beesley Drive, near Stewart and Nellis. (KTNV Las Vegas)
- The Animal Foundation in Las Vegas is offering resources to families with pets in "Keeping Every Person and Pet Together." A representative of The Animal Foundation said many people surrender their pets solely because they can't afford them and not because they don't want them. This program aims to help families so they don't have to make that choice. (FOX5 Las Vegas)
