🌱 Free COVID Vaccinations + Rose Parade Float Honors Alexander
The quickest way to get caught up on the most important things happening today in Las Vegas.
Hey, people of Las Vegas! It's me again, Dominique-Noelle Rafael, your host of the Las Vegas Daily.
First, today's weather:
Cold with a couple of showers. High: 47 Low: 31.
Here are the top 3 stories today in Las Vegas:
- Free COVID vaccinations are available every Wednesday this January at any Circa sponsored clinic. The vaccinations available will include the first, second, and booster doses of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines. Additionally, they have also extended their services to include the flu shot. They hope this helps ensure the safety and health of guests, team members, and the public. (Las Vegas Sun)
- Alexander Bush, a 12-year-old boy who was killed by a pickup truck, is set to be honored on a Rose Parade float. Bush's organs, skin, and bones were donated and have helped more than 300 people all over the world. His family says that Bush would have been proud and happy to know that he was able to help others. (Las Vegas Review-Journal)
- 'Soul of Kwanzaa' is a show being hosted at a local library that highlights local artists and leaders through music and dance. Kwanzaa is celebrated for seven days and began this past Sunday on Dec. 26. The event goes over the seven candles of Kwanzaa and touches on topics such as community, purpose, love and faith.
