Good morning, Las Vegas. This three-day edition is built for decisions: Safekey registration opens Tuesday, the Aviators begin a six-game homestand, and the final Summerlin Sounds concert lands Wednesday night.

In today's Northwest Digest:

Let's get to it.

I'm considering a Northwest Digest dinner series for readers who want to meet more people nearby without walking into a giant mixer. DNNR would match six local readers through a short questionnaire, book the restaurant, and reveal the location the morning of dinner.

The seat fee would cover matching and coordination; everyone would pay for their own food and drinks. Before I build the first one, I want a gut check.

7:01 AM - LeTip of Summerlin, Egg Works. A structured referral breakfast for local business owners. Contact the chapter before attending.

9:00 AM - Safekey registration opens, online. The city opens before- and after-school care registration for children ages 5 to 11 at 64 elementary schools. Annual registration is $25 per child; morning passes are $7 and afternoon passes are $10.

9:30 AM - New Resident Orientation, Mountain Shadows Community Center. New Sun City owners and renters can get the association basics in one sitting. This one is limited to eligible residents and needs a reservation.

7:00 PM - Fitness on The Lawn: NIKE Hype HIIT 101, Downtown Summerlin. NIKE leads the week's outdoor workout. Use the Experience Pass to check in, and watch the sky because isolated storms enter Tuesday's forecast.
