The city of Las Vegas has partnered with Bludot Technologies Inc. to offer Las Vegas Open Rewards, an assistance program for small, independently owned businesses. The program allows customers who sign up to earn cashback rewards for frequenting participating businesses.

To join the free program, consumers may visit https:// www.bludot.io/open-rewards-las-vegas to download the Las Vegas Open Rewards app.

The Deputy City Marshals have had great success deploying to areas in need of additional police presence through our specialized FLEX Team. FLEX Team’s primary function is to identify and suppress criminal activity through adding visible patrols— whether in vehicles or on foot—when and where crime is expected, plain-clothes investigations, and problem-solving efforts. FLEX intentionally addresses juvenile delinquency, gangs, quality of life concerns, and violent crime in our downtown corridor through proactive policing that includes community engagement and working with our local elected officials.

Our Department of Public Safety lives by the city’s core purpose of “Building Community to Make Life Better.” If you have this same dedication to our community, consider joining our team. Visit lasvegasnevada.gov/CLVDPSJobs for more information.

We are honored to join with our partners to make our city a safe place for those who live, work and play here.
