Here are the top stories in Las Vegas today:

1. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is investigating a death involving a housekeeper that occurred on the Las Vegas Strip over Thanksgiving weekend. The Clark County Coroner's Office told police the death appeared to be medical in nature. Security said nothing appeared suspicious at the time. New information given to police on Nov. 30 prompted further investigation into the woman's death. Based on the investigation, the case is being treated as a homicide. (FOX5 Las Vegas)
2. Trays of mac and cheese and boxes of fruit juice, blankets, clothes, hygiene items, and sleeping bags, and more are all loaded in the trunks as part of the Feed My Sheep Homeless Outreach caravan. Sandra Lambert and her volunteers carpool to various parks around the Las Vegas valley giving away meals and essentials to men and women without homes. Sandra wants to turn Feed My Sheep into a nonprofit, with a goal to make Potluck in the Park a monthly event. She hopes more valley residents will join her flock, but she says the ultimate goal, is to run a homeless village. (KTNV Las Vegas)
3. The Las Vegas City Council on Wednesday approved a contract to continue design services for a new pedestrian bridge on the Strip that is expected to cost approximately $40 million to construct. (FOX5 Las Vegas)
4. This weekend the Las Vegas Metro Police Department and the Nevada Department of Corrections will join forces to prep for the holiday season. (News3LV)
