If you're watching #nvleg races, here's a quick thread with some of the initial Clark County results:
In Senate District 2, it looks like Democrat Edgar Flores is leading his Republican opponent Leo Henderson (it's a solidly blue district): 
In the competitive #SD8 Sen. Marilyn Dondero Loop is ahead of her Republican opponent Joey Paulos (the district is a lean blue, BUT this is a very competitive race).

Huffman says she will only vote in favor of floor amendments that don't expand the overall deviation from the ideal population of the map and that is agreeable to all Senators involved in the district line changes. #txlege

#SD20 just south of the TC is a good example of a district anchored by a very blue city, but contain enough rural/exurban votes to cancel it out. The GLC candidate pulling nearly 6 points helped balloon the margin to 14.5 points. A moot point as he probably wins by 10 anyhow.
When I say a blue city, I mean a very blue city that backed Biden by 47 points. (Note though that the Dakota County precinct of the city is not in SD20. That Dakota county precinct, however is a few points to the right of the Rice County portion)
Biden didn't perform particularly well district-wide as he only ran a little over 2 points better than Clinton.
