KTNV — In case you didn't know, today is Las Vegas's 120th birthday!
Before you get your day started, we wanted to make sure you knew about some impacts to traffic this morning and a water drive happening today ahead of the summer season.
We have some good news as the southbound lanes of I-15 are back open after an overnight road closure.
We do want to remind you that tonight, another closure will take place, this time the northbound lanes.
We also want to let you know about a crash in the area of the airport connector, so allow for extra time if you are heading that way this morning.
Today, Las Vegas is celebrating its 120th birthday!
Las Vegas was founded on May 15, 1905, as a small railroad stop in the desert. It quickly evolved into a tourism, hospitality, and entertainment destination. More than 50 years later, the "Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas" sign was established, becoming a symbol for the Entertainment Capital of the World.

Water drives begin as weather continues to warm
As the heat is slowly beginning to ramp up here in the valley, access to clean drinking water can mean the difference between safety and serious health risks.
That's why one radio station is launching a water drive, hoping to make a difference before extreme temperatures set in.
Isabella Martin brings us on more on how the effort is coming together and how you can make a difference.
