LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner and the holiday means more green could be heading to business bank accounts across the valley.
According to the Retail Association of Nevada, Nevadans spent an estimated $66 million celebrating last year. Based on past trends, they add this year could lead to even more money coming into Southern Nevada.
If you're planning on celebrating, Zero Fatalities is once again partnering with Lyft to make sure you get home safely. They are providing $10 off one Lyft ride from March 15 through March 17. That's for the first 300 new and existing users in Las Vegas and Reno. You can access the exclusive offer using the Lyft mobile app and using the code "STPATSRIDE".
