Here are the top three stories in Las Vegas today:
- On Friday, flight attendants with Spirit Airlines protested outside Harry Reid International Airport to urge the airline to "get the operation together."

The company has struggled with mass cancellations and delays due to ongoing staff shortages, leaving customers and employees alike frustrated. (Fox 5 Las Vegas)

According to a press release from the city, complete streets are those that are "designed for people of all ages and physical abilities whether they walk, bicycle, ride transit, or drive." Upcoming improvements to Arts District streets will include wider sidewalks, ADA-compliant driveways and walkways, and roadway reconstruction. (Press Release Desk)
