🤠 What to do around Vegas in March

🗳️ Close Elections in Nevada Could Change

State lawmakers have introduced a bill that would trigger automatic recounts in races decided by a margin of 0.25% or less and eliminate the need for candidates to foot the bill.

🛩️ A New Event Venue Lands in Las Vegas

Gov. Joe Lombardo supports the idea, but it’s up against public opposition and privacy concerns. [KTNV]
