Good Morning, Las Vegas: Cinco de Mayo events, opportunity for free legal advice today

KTNV — Good Morning, Las Vegas.

Cinco de Mayo on Taco Tuesday? We have plenty of events happening in Las Vegas to help you celebrate this rare happenstance.

We also wanted to let you know about upcoming opportunities to receive free legal advice from Legal Aid of Southern Nevada.

But first, while we might be waking up to some cooler temperatures this morning, we are still on track for a warm-up as we head into the weekend.

Geneva Zoltek is in for Justin Bruce and has your Tuesday forecast:

Coming up: Free legal advice available at Ask-A-Lawyer events

Later this morning, Ask-A-Lawyer, one of the largest annual community events for Legal Aid of Southern Nevada, is expecting hundreds of participants to receive a free legal consult.

The event comes just weeks after hundreds of you called into Channel 13's Ask-A-Lawyer phone bank to get your questions answered about tenant rights.

If you're in need of legal assistance this morning, Anyssa Bohanan reports from the Parkdale Recreation Center in the east valley with more on the help you can get today.

Continuing coverage: Badlands ruling likely to cost Clark County taxpayers $12.4 million in latest legal defeat

There are new developments in the battle over the defunct Badlands golf course. It comes after a judge ruled Clark County illegally collected $ 8 million in property taxes from former landowner Yohan Lowie.

Now the judge has ordered the county to refund that money plus pay Lowie's legal fees and interest.

That could cost county taxpayers more than $12 million. It adds to the more than $286 million already paid by the City of Las Vegas taxpayers after courts found the city illegally took Lowie's property and prevented him from developing it.

Clark County is now asking the Nevada Supreme Court to intervene.

Darcy Spears breaks down the latest in this ongoing legal battle:
