"LVPD is pretty notorious for not putting up with this sort of thing, and someone will give them up eventually. LV protects its PHRASECENSOREDPOSTERSHOULDKNOWBETTER. like no other city I've been to."

NO, they don't. I lived there for six years before it got as bad as it is now. The crime was bad when I was there, but very little of it seeped out to the news. If you want to know what's REALLY going on when you visit LV, take your police scanner with you and program it for the local frequencies. You will be shocked at what's going on 24 hrs a day.

The gangs were moving in on the Strip about the time I left. If the LVPD had moved on them when they started, the town might have gotten a rep for being hard on those gang psychotics, but they didn't.

LV doesn't really deal with it's problems, it just covers them up. If a customer in a casino is losing and decks the (female) dealer, management will rush over, kick the dealer out of the way as she's trying to get to her feet, and solicitously ask the customer if he hurt his hand.

LV is nothing but layer upon layer of crime. Even the PD got a public thrashing during a multimillion-dollar lawsuit (which they lost) because they routinely failed to get search warrants for home searches.

The chances are very good that even if the attackers are identified, nothing much will be done. The MGM won't want the publicity, so they'll probably quietly pay off the guy who got beaten. And the trash on the streets know it.

It is said that all that glitters isn't gold, and that probably applies more in LV than anywhere else. It's a trash city with trash players... the glitz is all illusion.
