Here are the top three stories today in Las Vegas:

1. A North Las Vegas charter school was evacuated on Thursday morning due to a possible chemical exposure. According to officials, one adult at Legacy Traditional School felt sick from the exposure but didn't go to the hospital. After investigation, officials said a student brought unknown chemicals into the building as a "prank." (News3LV)
2. Winners were announced for the 2022 BroadwayWorld Las Vegas Awards. The event honors the best of the best in regional productions, touring shows, and more from October 2021 to September 2022.
