Recent violent crimes in the downtown Las Vegas attraction have led to a proposal to enact a limited curfew in the area for those under 21. (Image: <em>Travel Nevada<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The proposal would have to be reviewed by city attorneys. It also must get approval from the City Council before it could be enacted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Currently, Las Vegas has a curfew in place for those under 18. It starts at 10 pm on weekday nights and at midnight on weekends.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To curb the risk of violent crime, city officials may also up the number of officers assigned to Fremont Street during some evenings, mornings, and weekends, the <em>Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em> reported. There could be additional lighting during the night there to improve security, too.<\/p>\n<h2>City Officials Meet to Halt Crime<\/h2>\n<p>Recent violent crimes led Goodman to meet with downtown business owners, police officials, and other city leaders for about 75 minutes on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re all in agreement there is no tolerance for violence\/crime,\u201d Goodman said in a tweet after the meeting. Goodman later explained to the <em>Review-Journal<\/em> the police presence should be \u201cvery visible,\u201d and there should be a sufficient number of officers \u201cso people feel comfortable and safe.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"main-blockquote\"><p><strong>We\u2019ve had a few outbreaks. Young people, actually, are getting into arguments and then going ahead and using a weapon. That\u2019s not tolerable,\u201d<\/strong> Goodman said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>She had a stern warning for would-be criminals doing nefarious activity on Fremont Street. Police and prosecutors will enforce the law, she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you want to come here and do something that\u2019s illegal, wrong, or [a] crime, go somewhere else,\u201d she told the <em>Review-Journal<\/em>. \u201cWe don\u2019t want you, we will not tolerate you here.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Casino Officials Pledge Higher Security<\/h2>\n<p>Co-owner of Circa, Golden Gate, and The D casinos, Derek Stevens, recently announced his public commitment to improving security on the strip.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are gonna clean up Fremont Street, period,\u201d Stevens recently told the <em>Review-Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"main-blockquote\"><p><strong>The country has changed. So, we\u2019ve gotta make sure that we put Vegas as a whole, and Fremont Street, in a certain light, where it\u2019s very clearly safe and clean, and we\u2019re committed to doing that,\u201d<\/strong> Stevens continued.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Rohit Joshi, owner of the Neonopolis shopping mall, also located on Fremont Street, recently commented about the link between violent crime and anxiety.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Whenever there\u2019s any sort of crime with guns or knives or any of those types of incidents, it makes everybody nervous &#8212; general public, as well as tourism and the stakeholders of downtown,\u201d Joshi told the <em>Review-Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020 and 2021, Metro police launched a selective enforcement initiative called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/las-vegas-strip-gun-arrests-spark-police-operation-persistent-pressure-ii\/\">Operation Persistent Pressure<\/a>.\u201d It focused mainly on violent crimes on and near the Las Vegas Strip over Friday and Saturday nights. Police blamed out-of-town gang members for much of the uptick in crime.<\/p>\n<p>It led to many arrests and the confiscation of numerous weapons. The Strip is not located within the boundaries of the city of Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<h2>Recent Violence<\/h2>\n<p>On July 4, a shooting took place in the area of 4th Street and Fremont Street at about 12:40 am. One person suffered wounds in his buttocks. He was treated at University Medical Center and was later released. Police have yet to arrest a suspect in the case.<\/p>\n<div class=\"callout\">\n<p>That follows a deadly June 19 shooting at the Fremont Street Experience. One man, Raymond Renova, passed away from his wounds. An innocent bystander was injured, too. Police arrested <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/fremont-street-experience-murder-suspect-is-teenager-will-be-tried-as-an-adult\/\">Ruben Robles<\/a>, age 16. He is being tried as an adult. He is facing charges of murder, attempted murder, and carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Last month, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/news\/fremont-street-uber-pickup-leads-to-bloody-attack-on-vegas-driver-violent-video\/\">Victoria Partridge<\/a>, a 55-year-old Uber XL driver, suffered cuts and bruises on her head, neck, shoulders, and back after several passengers in her van allegedly beat her. She picked up the passengers on Fremont Street.<\/p>\n<p>The downtown neighborhood around the Fremont Street Experience is the site of casinos and is a popular tourist and entertainment destination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two recent shootings in the area around the Fremont Street Experience have led to a suggested curfew for those under 21 around the popular pedestrian mall.
