In 1997, the state legislature passed laws allowing the formation of charter schools in the State of Nevada. Although sponsored by the local school district, charter schools maintain their own board of directors and operate independent of the district's policies and regulations.
Charter schools are required to abide by state and county laws, but are given a great deal of latitude in the day-to-day operation of the school. The purpose of such alternative education is to improve education via a setting where innovation, experimentation and research can identify effective methods of instruction and then share those findings with more traditional classroom programs.

Staying Hydrated Staying Dehydration in a desert climate can be a serious concern. In humid climates, perspiration stays on the skin. But in the Healthy in desert, perspiration evaporates from skin almost immediately, leaving a person with no indication of how much salt and a D e s e r t water have been lost. You may not even feel thirsty, but you Climate can't always rely on thirst as an indicator of fluid loss.
When outdoors, consume at least three to four quarts of fluid per day, preferably water. When engaging in physical activity, this fluid requirement increases to four to six quarts. Also, be aware that sodas, coffee, tea and alcohol can contribute to dehydration, so drink these beverages in moderation. If you become lightheaded, stop all activity and move to a cool or shaded area immediately. Should dehydration set in, soaking in a tub of tepid water and drinking plenty of fluids will replace electrolytes.
26 Skin Protection
There's nothing more beautiful than a bright sun shining high in a clear blue sky! When you're living in
Las Vegas, it may be easy to forget that you're also living in the desert, and the dangers of skin cancer are real. While some sun is actually good for you, providing much-needed vitamin D, being in the sun for prolonged periods of time increases the risk of skin damage. Here are some tips from the Nevada
Cancer Institute for staying safe in the sun:
Avoid the Sun
Minimize your sun exposure between the hours of 10am and 4pm, when the sun is highest in
the sky - seek shade whenever possible. Being at 1,600 to 2,700-foot elevation increases the
risk for skin cancer up to 13.5% from sea level.
Cover Yourself
Wear a wide-brimmed hat that protects your head, face, ears and neck. If you are wearing a
baseball cap, apply sun block to your ears and neck. When you are outside, always wear
sunglasses with 99 to 100% UV absorption. Wear sun-protective clothing like long-sleeved
shirts and pants.
Wear Sun Block
Be sure to seek shade and cover your skin first. You'll also want to wear a broad-spectrum
sun block instead of sunscreen, with an SPF of at least 30. One bottle of sun block should not
last all summer, and there is no such thing as all-day protection! You will need to reapply sun
block every 90 minutes and especially after swimming, towel dryings or perspiring, even if
the label says the product is waterproof.
Know the Risks
Nevada is ranked 7th in the nation for incidence of melanoma and 11th for skin cancer deaths.
Having dark skin does not protect you from developing skin cancer, and it is also extremely
important to avoid tanning beds, which give an unprotected direct dose of UV radiation. Get screened
Screening can help detect the early warning signs of skin cancer and may save your life.
Know your body and check for skin changes every month. See your doctor once per year and
watch for any changes in moles or lesions.
27 Gaming, tourism and education remain the leading employment sectors for Southern Nevadans. The Las Vegas Valley is also quickly becoming home to an ever-growing base of entrepreneurs and startups, with more than 10% of the workforce defined as being "entrepreneurial" in nature. That's good news on many fronts, as many experts believe that entrepreneurs will be instrumental in leading the way to the nation's long- term economic stabilization.

Las Vegas streets and roadways have expanded to handle a large amount of traffic due to recent city growth and the development of great communities throughout our area.
Though some areas have their high-traffic times, much of the Las Vegas road system handles traffic efficiently and commuters can quickly get around. Here is a list of many of the roadways you will become familiar with when you move to the Las Vegas Valley:
FREEWAYS & HIGHWAYS
Las Vegas is traversed from several major roadways. Basically, there is a large "C" shape with a large "X" cutting through the whole city (see map on next page).
• Beltway 215: The 215 wraps around the outside of the city forming a "C" shape. It serves much of the valley and for much of it there are no stoplights. • 1-15 (Interstate 1-15): The 1-15 comes up from California from the Southwest and moves North East into Utah forming one cross of the "X". • 1-515/1-95: The 95, as commonly known in the valley, cuts through the heart of the city from South East to North West creating another cross in the "X". • Summerlin Parkway: The Summerlin Parkway connects the west side of town through Summerlin to the 95, which feeds into the center of town right near the Strip.

LAS VEGAS PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
LAS VEGAS MONORAIL Las Vegas Monorail Company 3900 Paradise Road, Suite 260 Las Vegas, NV 89169 (702) 699-8200 www.lvmonorail.com
It began as a joint venture between the MGM Grand and Bally's Hotel. Why not create a one-mile transportation system between the hotels, encouraging visitors to both? It was an exciting, forward- thinking idea that took off in 1993 and soon included plans to expand to other locations along the Strip. In 1997, state legislature passed that enabled the private monorail company to own, operate, and charge a fare as a public monorail system. As expansion plans developed, the Monorail assembled a professional team that included Bombardier Transportation, Carter-Burgess, Gensler & Associates, Granite Construction Company, Liaise Corporation, Salomon Smith Barney and Transit Systems Management.
The original monorail system was acquired in 2000 by the nonprofit Las Vegas Monorail Company, which was formed to develop, own and operate the Las Vegas Monorail. Today, the Las Vegas Monorail remains the first and only privately owned public transportation system in the U.S. and includes seven stations along its four-mile route. Nearly 32,000 passengers ride the system daily to restaurants, shows, attractions and conventions within the Strip resort corridor.

Identify what amenities are important to you, such as an onsite beauty shop, golf course membership, transportation for doctor appointments, shopping, cultural events, church and social outings.

Seniors who live in this setting can be assured their long- term care needs will be met and will not have to relocate; they can select a service plan to suit their needs, abilities and preferences. Typical assisted living services include recreational, social and educational activities; transportation, emergency help, housekeeping, meals, assistance with daily living and personal assistance.
Assisted Living Facilities These housing options combine a level of independent living with some assistance for personal care. They provide care to residents who cannot live alone, but do not need 24-hour nursing care. Assisted living communities offer residents the privacy of their own bedroom, often with a small kitchen. Most offer meals in a community dining room, snacks, laundry services, housekeeping and assistance with personal needs such as bathing, dressing or medication supervision. These facilities are not designed for people who need serious medical care, but there are some facilities for people with Alzheimer's, dementia and memory loss.
Residential Care Homes (Personal Care Homes) These group living facilities, usually single-family homes, are designed to meet the needs of people who cannot live independently, but do not need nursing homes. These homes provide some type of assistance with daily living activities including eating, walking and bathing. Some homes provide skilled nursing, rehabilitative services or specialized care for illnesses such as Alzheimer's.
6 5 Skilled Nursing Facilities A skilled nursing facility is staffed by registered nurses who help provide 24-hour care to those who can no longer care for themselves due to physical, emotional or mental conditions. A licensed physician supervises each patient's care and a nurse or other medical professional is almost always on the premises.

Eastside Cannery Good food in large quantities has always been a part of the Las Vegas experience. Vegas is famous for its all- you-can-eat buffets, which can be found at nearly every casino. Below you'll find some tips so that your buffet experience is scrumptious, followed by a current listing of buffets in the Las Vegas area.
The most famous buffets in town are at the Rio, Bellagio, Planet Hollywood, Bally's and the Wynn. Above- average buffets typically run about $30 a person for a weekend dinner — be sure to check ahead if a dress code exits. Lunch is often the best value at many buffets, when they are around half price; breakfasts are cheapest and often have a great spread too. A number of buffets also offer champagne brunches on weekends. Discounts on buffet prices are sometimes available if you sign up for a free membership, and almost all offer a discount for kids. Coupons can also be found in local publications and online.
Lines can be long — arriving early/later can reduce the wait, especially for brunch. You can also try to get a comp to skip the line if you gamble enough or are a valued hotel guest; some of the more upscale buffets also take reservations. Don't forget that tipping your buffet waiter 10-15% is customary! You can leave cash on the table at the end of your meal or tip the cashier at the counter on a credit card.

Bali Hai Golf Club Golf might not be the first thing that comes to mind when someone says Sin City, but Las Vegas has definitely joined the inner circle of preeminent desert golf destinations. Golfing in Las Vegas is one of the most unique golfing experiences you can have! Surrounded by mountains and beautiful desert scenery, contrasted by the lush greenery of the course, each offers its own unique view of Vegas. With more than 55 golf courses in the area, Las Vegas offers players of all abilities an unforgettable experience.
The best, most lavish courses have some of the biggest names in the game behind them. You'll have the chance to play original course designs by great players and renowned architects, such as Jack Nicklaus, Raymond Floyd, Greg Nash, Bob Cupp, Arthur Hills, Tom Fazio and Arnold Palmer.
When booking a tee time, Friday through Sunday are the busiest, so look mid- week for more availability and better deals. For seasonal bargains, winter (65 degree days and sunshine) and summer in Vegas are ideal. Just remember, morning and evening tee times in summer fill up early so book in advance! Below is a selection of courses in the Las Vegas area, with details like course type and price range. The private courses within gated communities listed have membership options available to non-residents. Fore! GOLF COURSE WHERE TYPE/DESIGNER DIFFICULTY PRICE
