Program Will Allow Vendors To Secure Spots During First Friday Event
Beginning November 2023, a new pilot program will create designated spots for mobile food trucks and trailers during the monthly First Friday event in the 18B Las Vegas Arts District. Vendors that are licensed and approved to operate in the city of Las Vegas will have the opportunity to have a spot, based on a lottery.
Interested food truck and trailer operators must apply in person for the lottery by noon on Oct. 20, at the Las Vegas Parking Services Office located at 350 S. City Parkway. The lottery will be held at the same location Oct. 25 at 9 a.m., and food trucks will be able to choose the date and spot that they want to operate in over the next six months.
Available locations for First Fridays include:
21 W. Imperial Ave.;
1401 S. Commerce St.;
1319 S. Commerce St.;
1221 S. Casino Center Blvd.; and
198 E. Colorado Ave.
The pilot program is the result of the city of Las Vegas staff meeting with businesses in the Arts District and the 18B Board following concerns about illegal parking and use of private properties without consent. The city already has a successful food truck lottery in place for other parts of downtown Las Vegas.
The Oct. 25 lottery will be limited to those that have registered and companies currently licensed to operate mobile food vending trucks or trailers in the city of Las Vegas. There is a fee of $50 per application to enter the lottery.
Lottery winners will be able to use the space they choose on the First Friday of their choice from 6 to 10 p.m.
For more information about the Mobile Food Vendor Pilot Program, vendors may contact Parking Services via email at CLVFoodTruck@LasVegasNevada.GOV or by phone at 702.229.4700.

Steve Ford And Sabra Newby Join the City Of Las Vegas Senior Executive Team
At today’s meeting, the Las Vegas City Council unanimously ratified Steve Ford and Sabra Newby as new deputy city managers. They join Tim Hacker and Gary Ameling at the deputy city manager level of the organization. All will report to City Manager Mike Janssen.
Both were selected for their positions by Janssen. In their new roles, Ford will oversee Public Works, Community Development and Parks Recreation and Cultural Affairs, while Newby will oversee Neighborhood Services, Government Affairs and Youth Development and Social Innovation. Photos of Ford and Newby are available here.
Ford, who has been with the city since 1997, previously served as the city’s Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs director. Prior to that he had served as the city engineer, and spent 23 years in the departments of Public Works and Operations and Maintenance, where he designed major city infrastructure projects and oversaw streets, facilities and parks maintenance.
Before joining the city, Ford was a member of the United States Air Force and Air Force Reserves for 23 years, retiring as a lieutenant colonel. He is a graduate of Brigham Young University and the Air Force Institute of Technology.
Newby has served as the vice president of Government and Community Engagement at UNLV since 2020, and was appointed by the Clark County Commission to the Nevada State Assembly in January 2023.
From 2017 to 2020 she was city manager for the city of Reno, and prior to that was with Clark County from 2006 to 2017, where she was a chief administrative officer before being promoted to assistant county manager.

The city of Las Vegas will celebrate the completion of the Jackson Avenue complete street project with a block party and ribbon cutting from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 8, on Jackson between D and E streets in the Historic Westside.
The Love on Jackson Block Party will include entertainment, a bounce house, face painting, local businesses, community service providers, and refreshments, while supplies last.
In November 2022, Jackson closed between H and C streets (see map) for roadway reconstruction. The project included installation of wider sidewalks, streetlights, trees, new water lines and removal/replacement of pavement.
“Jackson Avenue is one of many projects helping us to make progress to improve our neighborhoods and our future,” Councilman Cedric Crear said. “I grew up on the Westside in Ward 5 and Jackson Avenue was the epicenter for this community. I want to invite the entire community out to the Love on Jackson Block Party to celebrate a new Jackson Avenue and what it will bring to the Historic Westside.”
As part of the HUNDRED (Historic Urban Neighborhood Design Redevelopment) Plan in Action, the project has repurposed Jackson Avenue to improve walkability, multi-modal mobility and enhance the neighborhood through landscaping, lighting and new urban design elements.
The HUNDRED Plan was developed in 2016 as a plan for community-led investment in the Historic Westside. Through a community visioning process, a series of key steps known as the eight big moves were identified, one of which was revitalizing Jackson Street.
Unicon was the contractor for the $6.5 million complete street project. Funding was provided by the Regional Transportation Commission Fuel Revenue Indexing Extension Tax fund.
