July 2023

Dear District G Residents,

The hot temperatures are upon us and I hope you are all enjoying your summer. Don't forget our Whitney Pool is open and offers lots of amenities to keep you and your families cool. 

If you like to play tennis, we just reopened the newly refurbished Sunset Park Tennis Courts. Check out the complex - it's quite impressive with 8 new courts, benches and shade structures as well as water bottle filling stations.

With July 4th coming up, please don't forget about using "safe and sane fireworks."  “Safe and sane” fireworks are the only type of consumer fireworks allowed in Clark County and the local cities and only from June 28 through July 4 each year when nonprofit groups are allowed to sell them for fundraising purposes at locally licensed and inspected stands. Even "safe and sane" fireworks are a source of thousands of noise complaints from seniors, pet owners, and people suffering from post-traumatic stress. Please be mindful of those who can be negatively impacted if you plan on lighting fireworks. Offenders using illegal fireworks in unincorporated Clark County areas face a minimum fine of $500 up to $10,000.  

As always, do not hesitate to email me at DistrictG@clarkcountynv.gov or call my office at (702) 455-3500 with any questions or concerns you may have. You can also follow me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

Sunset Park Tennis Courts Grand Re-Opening

I'm excited to announce that after some much needed renovations, the tennis courts at Sunset Park have reopened! We held a Grand Re-Opening on June 17th with USTA Nevada hosting a youth skills clinic.  Free ice cream, coffee and waters were provided to the attendees.

Our Vegas Golden Knights Are Stanley Cup Champions!

What a special day it was to celebrate our Vegas Golden Knights like no other place in the world does with a parade down the Las Vegas Strip and a Victory Rally at Toshiba Plaza.  I was joined by Governor Lombardo and all the mayors in Southern Nevada and I was honored to proclaim June 17th as Vegas Golden Knights Stanley Cup Winners Day! Go Knights Go!
