LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — People who work on the Las Vegas Strip may see slowdowns on their commute beginning this week.
Drivers can expect some lane reductions and closures beginning on Wednesday as the city prepares for the NFL Draft this month.
The lane reductions will be around the intersection of Flamingo Road and Las Vegas Boulevard, which is the corner of the Bellagio Hotel and Casino. That's where crews will build the red carpet stage that will be placed over the Bellagio Fountain.
