November 28, 2023
Good morning. Today is Giving Tuesday, a moment to focus on helping out the nonprofits that do so much good in this town. Not sure where to give? If you have time to educate yourself a little about charitable giving, here’s a useful guide. If not, give to organizations you know or that come recommended by people you trust.

🚶♀️ Keep It Moving
The folks who brought you “no street vendors on the Strip” and “resort corridor order-out law” want to roll out a hot new product: a law that would prevent people from stopping on pedestrian bridges over the Strip.

💳 Popular Park Goes Cashless
Starting on New Year’s Day, you’ll no longer be able to pay the $6 Floyd Lamb Park entry fee with cash — apparently nature abhors paper currency. [KLAS]
