I talked to Scott, who works in one of the Laughlin casinos, last night, he did not have any information on the Circus Circus.
Most do not realize that Las Vegas has major gang problems, you will not hear it on the news.
I have known for years, as the prior Sheriff came in for an interview, once a month on KDWN radio, and he said several years ago, that there were 500 and more gangs then.
Today I understand it is 800 gangs, and I mean machete, gun toting gang members.
Downtown is one of the areas that the gangs are thick in.
You will be surprised at what is going on in your town, if you listen to the actual police scanners.
Google for :
listen to police scanner on internet
and add your town or state.
Wow! That is amazing. But what is almost more amazing is that the powers that be are able to keep it quiet. Of course, it is understandable that if word got out, it wouldn't be very good for tourism in Vegas. Knowing that, doesn't really make me want to pack my bags and head for a vacation in Las Vegas.
I have a police scanner that I turn on occasionally. Usually only when I hear a lot of sirens and am curious about what is going on in town. Our little town is pretty quiet most of the time, but we have some gang problems here too. They have moved up here from LA.
OH .... I hate that these gangs have taken over so many areas. Most of their activity is with other gangs. Just hope innocents do not get caught in the crossfire.
Fresno has had a big gang problem but the police are starting to really crack down on them. I wish they would make it so tough that they would decide to move on.
