October 2023

Dear District G Residents,

The start of October is always a solemn time in our community.  We will never forget the heart-breaking evening of October 1, 2017 when so many people's lives changed forever.  Clark County will be holding a Sunrise Remembrance on Sunday, October 1, 2023 at 7:30am at the Clark County Government Center Amphitheater located at 500 S. Grand Central Parkway, Las Vegas, NV 89155. If you are unable to attend in person, you can watch on YouTube by clicking on the graphic at the end of this message.

Clark County has been hosting several town halls in response to the 2023 Nevada State Legislative Session where Senate Bill 92 was adopted relating to sidewalk vendors. Click on the links for the presentations that were provided by Clark County Business License and the Southern Nevada Health District.  Plenty of additional information in both English and Spanish is available by visiting the Clark County website, where you can also take a survey to provide your input for consideration. 

As we do every year, we will be holding our annual Halloween Trunk or Treat on Thursday, October 26, 2023 at Silver Bowl Park.  There are a lot of other Halloween events around the valley to choose from as well.  See the fliers below for more details!

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 X (previously Twitter).
