The Las Vegas City Council invites the public to join Mayor Oscar B. Goodman, Mayor Pro Tem Gary Reese, city of Las Vegas staff, representatives of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, Stratosphere Hotel, various faith-based organizations, business community leaders and residents of the Gateway District community, as they host the first ever Neighborhood Transformation Celebration. The Gateway District is located behind the Stratosphere Hotel in the area of Fairfield Avenue, Industrial Road, New York Avenue and Sahara Avenue.
The day of festivities is scheduled to start at 8:45 a.m. on Saturday, April 25, as community volunteers help to beautify the mature downtown neighborhood by removing trash and trimming plants and weeds.
“This neighborhood has seen a lot of changes over the years,” said Councilman Reese, who represents this area of Ward 3. “I’m pleased to be part of these clean-up efforts. Everyone working together will make a tremendous difference.”
Following the beautification work that will wrap up at 11 a.m., vendors will be on hand until 2 p.m. to provide volunteers with free hot dogs and sodas, entertainment and prize drawings. A drawing will be held for a free pre-owned car, courtesy of Expedite Towing.
A variety of information, community services and free household goods will also be available to attendees while supplies last.
Volunteers seeking to participate in the cleanup should contact Neighborhood Transformation Event Coordinator Debbie White at (702) 493-5041 for more information.
