The Bend, a Las Vegas retail and office project near Ikea, is set to break ground this year. The 17.5-acre project would include a movie theater, eateries and other tenants, and a five-story office building. It would bring more construction to the southwest valley, perhaps the fastest-growing area of Las Vegas. Developers have been building houses, apartments, offices and other projects in the area.
Clark County auditors found that Henderson Constable Earl Mitchell requested $85,000 more in salary than he paid employees. The audit mirrors finding of a Las Vegas Review-Journal investigation. The paper questioned Mitchell writing himself checks … withdrawing money from ATMs and paying for travel with county funds. Auditors noted that many of the items purchased with county funds appear personal. Mitchell declined to discuss the findings.
