Rossi Ralenkotter, left, president and chief executive of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, and Henderson Mayor Jim Gibson straighten their hair after strong winds buffeted the Henderson Events Plaza during a grand-opening ceremony Thursday. The wind blew over some decorative displays, but Gibson caught the American flag during the singing of the national anthem before the flag hit the ground. The plaza, between City Hall and the Henderson Convention Center and Visitors Bureau, was partly funded by an $8 million recreational facility capital improvement grant from the LVCVA.
