REAL ESTATE BRIEFS: JUNE 11

Lake Las Vegas, Henderson’s only waterfront master-planned community, has partnered with the city of Henderson to ignite the night this Fourth of July at its annual lakeside firework display. Open to all residents and guests, the show will take place 9 p.m. over the community’s 320-acre lake.

“Our Fourth of July firework display has become a beloved tradition within our community,’” said Patrick Parker, president of Raintree Investment Corp., developer of Lake Las Vegas. “There’s no better way to celebrate than coming together and watching a fantastic firework show over the lake. Our residents and guests always look forward to it.”

The firework spectacle will offer attendees ample viewing spots throughout the entire community, including optimal observation from The Village, the Westin Resort and Spa, the Hilton Resort and Spa, Reflection Bay Golf Club and the Sports Club. The show is free to attend.

“With the city of Henderson’s support, this year’s display will be one to remember,” Parker said. “After the majority of the valley’s firework locations faced a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, this year’s festivities will offer guests a chance to celebrate with a renewed sense of hope as we finally come together again to honor the holiday.”

Coinciding with Lake Las Vegas’ show, the city will host a firework display at Heritage Park for the first time since 2019. The celebration will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. and is free for all attendees.

Summerlin Hospital ER staff gets free cookies

Las Vegas Girl Scout Troop No. 760 showed its appreciation to valley health care workers May 26 by bringing more than 110 free cookie boxes to Summerlin Hospital’s Emergency Room staff.

Two troop members, Mylee and Emilee McLaughlin, partnered with CAMCO, Nevada to host a cookie sales event at the CAMCO offices at 4775 West Teco Ave. For each box of cookies purchased, the Scouts asked customers to donate a box for health care workers. The cookies could also be purchased and donated virtually at both Emilee and Mylee’s digital cookie sites.

The gesture was a hit with Summerlin Hospital employees. Dr. Marc Jeser said the treats were greatly appreciated, and hospital administration commented on the kind gesture.

“We are so appreciative of the thoughtfulness of CAMCO and Girl Scout Troop 760 for their delicious cookie donation to our ER team,” said Rob Freymuller, CEO of Summerlin Hospital. “Acts of kindness that support our health care community are always morale boosters!”

The CAMCO team was impressed with the girls’ efforts as well.

“We’re proud of Emilee and Mylee, not just for achieving their goal of 110 free cookie boxes, but because we think they are such a great example for their peers and other youth,” added Mary Rendina, CAMCO’s marketing director.

CAMCO manages more than 300 homeowners associations in Nevada. To learn more, visit camconevada.com or search for @CAMCONevada on Facebook.
