Concerns among the traffic safety leaders before Memorial Day which begins a time when more deadly crashes happen among teen drivers. It鈥檚 called the 鈥100 Deadliest Days of Summer鈥 and is between Memorial and Labor Day.

Tina Quigley, president and CEO of the Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance, had her reservations about LOCATE Las Vegas. The initiative, which entrusted the developmental authority with courting 17 global company leaders in hopes of attracting them to Southern Nevada, already felt like an expensive, time-intensive task. Add on the pressure of doing it during Super Bowl LVIII weekend and they certainly had their work cut out for them.
