The quickest way to get caught up on the most important things happening today in Las Vegas.
Hello, neighbors! It's me, Dominique-Noelle Rafael, your host of the Las Vegas Daily — here to explain all the most important things happening in town these days. Let's do this...
First, today's weather:
Partly sunny with a shower. High: 96 Low: 81.
Here are the top 3 stories in Las Vegas today:
- Get ready: new sensors are going to be installed this weekend to track traffic on HOV lanes around Las Vegas. According to the Nevada Department of Transportation, these sensors will count vehicles and detect the number of occupants in HOV lanes. Seventeen sensors will be installed around Interstate 15 and U.S. 95 starting on Jun. 26 and ending sometime in early August. For more information on the current schedule for work, please check out the full article. (News3LV)
- Earlier this week, a Las Vegas area pizza business was hit twice by a group of thieves. Since then, Those Guys Pies is back up and running, but owner Chris Builder is angry and upset. Builder is thankful that nobody was hurt, but he does realize the impact that the break-ins had on his business. However, he is not discouraged. Builder is planning to make changes to the shop's security in hopes to put this obstacle behind him. (Fox 5 Las Vegas)
