The most pressing matter for the Henderson Police Department was a reminder to residents to microchip their pets before New Year's Eve, due to the increased risk of animals running away during fireworks displays.

New Year's Eve options in Henderson include a fireworks show at Lake Las Vegas, offering an early celebration. Sunset Station is offering a bowling package, while Borracha at Green Valley Ranch is hosting a fiesta with a mariachi band, DJ, and open bar.

The I-215 Widening project and the 'Reimagine Boulder Highway' project continue to cause traffic delays, with nightly lane reductions on the 215 between Pecos and Stephanie. There will be a brief pause in construction on January 1st and 2nd.
