This change in leadership, which includes Ward 3’s newly elected Bob Coffin, will hurdle economic challenges along the way — including filling an estimated $4.1 million budget gap.
Local artists are at work on a 20-foot-tall Las Vegas showgirl sculpture dubbed Lucky Lady Lucy at Boulder Plaza in the Arts District. Once completed, the figure will be transported to the Burning Man festival in the Black Rock Desert, 120 miles north of Reno.
