Section
Community stories are about what residents build together: memorials, fundraising efforts, volunteer work and the places people gather.
We cover them because they often explain how a neighborhood sees itself, and because they usually come with a way for readers to take part.
Community · The Strip
The permanent memorial, which broke ground Oct. 2, will stand on the site of the 2017 shooting, with towers for the 58 people killed. Organizers aim to finish by the 10th anniversary.
The valley marks 1 October every year, and construction of the permanent memorial began on Oct. 2, 2026.
Where a project is raising money or asking for volunteers, we link to the organizer directly.
Every brief in this section names and links the outlet whose reporting it draws on. Read more in our standards and corrections policy.
Public Safety · Valley-wide
The National Weather Service expects Las Vegas highs of 95 to 98 degrees through Friday, with minor heat risk in the valley and an extreme heat warning in Death Valley, before winds and cooler air arrive Saturday.
Schools · Nevada
A WestEd analysis approved by Nevada's Commission on School Funding found extra per-pupil dollars for at-risk students had no effect, raising questions about how the state distributes that money.
