Hey, neighbors. It's Thursday in Las Vegas and I'm back in your inbox to get you caught up on all the most important things happening locally.

But first, today's weather:

Sunny and very warm. High: 92 Low: 64.

📢 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 in Las Vegas today:

1. Clark County has announced that a social service outreach team will be deployed to the Las Vegas Strip.
