LAS VEGAS (AP) — A newspaper found the natural gas utility serving Las Vegas and southern Nevada asked state regulators to let it recover from ratepayers costs including a $4,700 wine-and-dine dinner, a luxury car charter and a Las Vegas Strip resort manicure and pedicure.
Southwest Gas told the Las Vegas Review-Journal on Wednesday it will remove those expenses and others from its Public Utilities Commission application to raise rates an average of $4 per month per home.
The commission held a rate hearing last week and is expected to make a preliminary decision by late September.
