In 1987, the Nevada Department of Education began a statewide initiative for Nevada teachers and librarians to celebrate reading through shared thematic activities. Nevada Reading Week usually begins during the last week of February and coincides with the birthday of Dr. Seuss. Many of our local celebrities, parents and community members participate in the festivities by telling stories and reading to our students. The theme for 2015-16 is "Read Explore And Discover." Nevada Reading Week will be celebrated the week of February 29 - March 4, 2016.

Lake levels are dangerously low in Lake Mead which -- if left unchecked -- could eventually compromise the Las Vegas valley's drinking water.

The Southern Nevada Water Authority has developed two intake projects to get water from Lake Mead and a third will soon be unveiled.

Stepping into a construction elevator, I joined engineers hundreds of feet underground. We end up below Lake Mead where an underground train took us to the center of the lake.

Touting its importance to Southern Nevada's economic viability, state lawmakers and community leaders marked the groundbreaking of Interstate 11's construction on Monday.

Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada officials said the landmark project will connect Las Vegas and Phoenix, two cities that boast more than 1 million residents and have not been linked by an interstate. 

I-11 is also expected to serve as an additional artery between Canada and Mexico.
