Las Vegas Budget Includes New Fire Stations, More Park Workers

City officials say they feel good about starting to make small additions in areas where cuts had been made.

Las Vegas residents can expect two new fire stations and more weekend park workers in the next year, but that doesn't mean the city's finances have recovered from the beating they've taken in recent years.

Clip Joints Investigated After Weekend Stabbing

LAS VEGAS -- This weekend, a man was stabbed after an altercation at an alleged clip joint. Police say tourists are being taken for thousands of dollars at these businesses. 

In the latest incident, police say British tourist Joseph Sherriff was stabbed by a bouncer at the Red Devil, near Spring Mountain Road and Polaris Avenue. Sherriff is in the hospital with life-threatening injuries and his attacker is still at large.

Police arrested Brooke Dugan, Lyeishia Godfrey, Hope Tello, Nicole Cramer, and James Watkins for racketeering, obtaining money under false pretenses, and conspiracy to commit racketeering.

At clip joints, people are tricked into believing they are paying for sex, but are asked for more and more money until they run out. In some cases, it turns violent.

Sahara Express Ready to Roll

Sahara Express Ready to Roll

 

It took more than a year to complete, but now the Regional Transportation Commission's Sahara Express route is ready to roll.

For riders, it will mean a more convenient way to get across the Las Vegas valley. For drivers, it will mean the road construction along Sahara Avenue is finally finished.

The route stands out with distinctive, solar-powered, blue bus stops. There are also ticket machines which let riders buy tickets before getting on the bus. The sidewalks have been widened and raised to make it easier to board buses. Crews also gave a facelift to the median along Sahara Avenue with plants and trees.

The new bus route isn’t just about aesthetics. There is now a designated lane, allowing the bus to move faster.

Arturo Martinez Released From Hospital

LAS VEGAS -- Arturo Martinez, the man whose wife and daughter were murdered last month, has been released from University Medical Center. Martinez survived an attack that occurred in April.

Bryan Clay has been arrested for the crime. According to police, he allegedly raped and killed Yadira and Karla Martinez. He also allegedly beat Arturo with a hammer.

"The doctors are surprised - all of them, the nurses, the therapists. Every person that comes to see Arturo is just amazed, because he's fighting so much, said Arturo's sister Gaudia Martinez in an interview last week. "I haven't cried. I haven't had the time to cry. It's been really hard. I'm still shocked, completely shocked."

Gaudia says Arturo remembers almost nothing of the attack.

"He knows that they're not here anymore, but he doesn't know exactly what happened to them. He doesn't know that they were assaulted," she said.
