The quickest way to get caught up on the most important things happening today in Las Vegas.
Good morning, Las Vegas. I'm here in your inbox this morning to tell you everything you need to know about what's going on around town.
First, today's weather:
Sunny and very hot. High: 102 Low: 74.
📢 I'm looking for business owners and marketers in Las Vegas who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

Here are the top three stories today in Las Vegas:
- North Las Vegas mayoral candidates proposed solutions for homelessness, veterans services, and revitalizing Windsor Park during a forum last Friday.
