Here are the top stories today in Las Vegas:

1. A 28-year-old Las Vegas man was sentenced on Friday in the 2019 killing of his girlfriend, 24-year-old Savannah Millner. Steven Clifford pleaded guilty in August, according to court records. On Nov. 5, he was sentenced by Judge Christina Silva to a minimum of four years and a maximum of 10 years in prison, with a consecutive term of at least two years for the deadly weapon enhancement, with 843 days credit for time served. In 2019, Clifford told police Millner shot herself, but police ruled out suicide upon further investigation. (FOX5 Las Vegas)
2. More growing pains in Las Vegas: Experts are predicting a nursing shortage in Southern Nevada in the next couple of years. UNLV School of Nursing Dean Angela Amar says nurses need to be a big part of the conversation when we talk about the future of health care in Las Vegas because they play such an important role in our hospitals. She says pandemic burnout and retirements will only make the shortage worse. (KTNV Las Vegas)
