Good morning, friends. It's Monday in Las Vegas and I'm back in your inbox to get you caught up on all the most important things happening in the community today. I'll get right to it.

First, today's weather:

Plenty of sunshine. High: 101 Low: 80.

Here are the top 3 stories today in Las Vegas:

  1. Backyard gardens in Las Vegas are few and far between; however, gardening's growing popularity across the country has definitely made its way to the Valley. Due to the increased interest in gardening, the Las Vegas community has turned to small-space gardening. If you are interested in starting your own small-space garden, check out the Las Vegas Review-Journal's tips. (Las Vegas Review-Journal)
  2. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police are currently investigating a deadly crash that took place this past Saturday evening. According to reports, police arrived at the scene at around 7:15 p.m. around the intersection of Rancho Drive and Turquoise Road. The crash was between a pickup truck and a motorcycle. Currently, police suspect that impairment was a factor in the incident. (News3LV)
  3. The Jonas Brothers are still in their performing prime and have found their place among the top brother acts over the course of entertainment history. In fact, this past weekend, Nick, Joe, and Kevin performed at Dolby Live, which clears their first two shows out of five at Park MGM. Get the details on their remaining Las Vegas shows happening this week on the venue's website. (Las Vegas Review-Journal)
