West Las Vegas panel forming
The city of Las Vegas is accepting applications for the West Las Vegas Advisory Board, which is being set up to help organize the neighborhood and involve residents in improving the area.

Residents and business owners in the area can apply by sending a letter of interest including the applicant's contact information and his or her reasons for wanting to be on the board.
Send to trenter@lasvegasnevada.gov or mail to Tanya Jackson-Renter, 400 Stewart Ave., Las Vegas, NV 89101.
The deadline is Aug. 7.
