New Las Vegas Laws For Tourists and Locals 2024 (Standing on Pedestrian Bridge Walkways)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2024
- This video covers new laws in 2024, many of which were passed in the 2023 Nevada Legislative Session. We will also discuss the new ordinance passed by the Clark County Commission about blocking pedestrian bridges. This has gotten a lot of media attention around the idea that you could be given a ticket for up to $1,000 or face six months in jail for stopping to take a selfie picture. This ordinance was proposed right after the F1 Grand Prix took place in Las Vegas in November. We'll cover that and more.

Is there anything I missed?
Jacob be giving his own comment a heart is like giving yourself a high five 😛
😂@@CellaDragon
Ya a lot… what laws changed for tourists????? Stipulations? No laws changed for tourist??
Strip clubs only serve water, $8 bottle, some in LV, NV and CA. Jacob Orth, former security, can work at Synn Beverly Hills (rhymes with Wynn) bar I read is good, if full nudity = booze.
.
the Officer shortage surprises me..i applied to LVMPD back in 2000, but there were 700+ applicants for 70 positions, i made the alternate list ( if enough people drop out, you can get into the Academy ), but never got selected. Vegas USED to be the best paying, best benefits paying City in the country.
i can only imagine the City has reduced benefits, pensions, and salary, to "Save" money, meanwhile multi billion dollar event complexes paid for in part by the City ( I.E. - Taxpayers ) is JUST FINE..
yea,, they must have really pissed on Police pay and benefits, to be in such dire need NOW, compared to 20 yrs ago.. maybe you can find a pay comparison thru the years.. my oldest Bro, retired in 2002, and makes more in retirement, than i do full time, a year.
love to see if you can dig up a pay/benefits schedule, from 1970., '80, '90, 2000, 2010, 2020... just a thought.
The reason LV tourist numbers are down, from pre-Covid years, is not because of the homeless, it’s because prices have skyrocketed!
Every excuse in the book they will use before saying that😂
@@Anomize23 👍
Vegas use to be a good value. Now all I see is overpriced drinks, rude staff, and being dime and nickeled to death.
@@Fletch001 👍 What you said‼️ And lots of ‘influencers’ on YT who shill for the hotels/casino’s/restaurants. (That in no way is a reflection on Jacob who is a honest broker of the truth as he sees it!)
Who told you numbers are down? Visitor volume and revenues and all time highs
when are they going to outlaw those BS resort fees
Lol, MGM properties resort fees are going up. Plus, free parking is slowly going away. The only way to not pay these fees is to have a certain status - which put millions of folks at risk because of the hackings. , I'll say resort fees will disappear when baggage fees disappear on airlines and interest rates drop to 5% on credit cards. 😕
When the politics graph says R R R like it did in '15 and '16.
What I constantly hear from tourists who don't want to come back to Vegas ever again are the homeless, sky-high prices and sales tax, and the marijuana smoke. Love this video Jacob!
the cost of living is still relatively low compared to my home state of CA and gun laws are less strict so I'm strongly considering a move
Follow the money. I'd be willing to bet that every person on the Clark County Commission who backed F1 has a bit more money in their pockets than they did before.
Yup
Absolutely!
The Clark County is totally corrupt and are the lap dog of the casino mob bosses and now F-1. Twenty or so years ago, a number of commissioners were sent to jail for corruption. They certainly don't do a whole lot for the voters. One reason why HOA's are so common here .
more than a little.
Absolutely! 6 people allowed whatever F1 wanted. Follow the money for sure! There is still a very unsafe bridge up at Ellis Island corner that should have been taken down but F1 is just letting it stand, seeing as they are gonna be back in just a few months to rip apart the city again. That is NOT a permanent bridge! Scary that the "6 people" are not making them install a real bridge, going through the same building permits everyone else has go through, to make it a safe bridge. F1 has bought this 6 person committee to do whatever they want. I would be voting those people OUT asap.
F-1....the best time to stay away from Las Vegas
Vegas used to be a value vacation with gambling. You could get low price food, drinks and rooms. Now its 20+ bucks for a burger in a hotel! They have priced out a lot of people who will now spend their money on better deals in other places in the states.
It's corporatism 101. Come in, take control, then with no major competition, you jack up the prices. Others around see the dollar signs incoming & they join suit looking to get their slice of the pie as well.
No more Vegas for me. Not paying for parking everywhere. They are messed up for that.
I'm a local and I approve this guy's message!!
The stupidest thing they ever done that and the giant Ferris wheel
Fine example of the Board of Commissioners being bought and paid for.
The times I have visited, I have not seen people blocking the cross-overs. Yes, a small group of people would stop, or setup for sales, but they didn't block (stop) tariff from crossing.
Great news about the SATs for your city but I have no plans to go back there anytime soon the prices are getting out of control 😢
Pity the government can't force hotels to include resort fees to give visitors an honest, prima facie room cost upfront.
There are either people sleeping on the walkway, stopping for a photo, hustlers running gambling stands, or what I think it is to stop people from watching Formula One races.
scammers are in every major city so are tourists taking photos. San Francisco is much worse
I like the idea of turning my lifeless body into compost.. People always say I'm full of sh*t so I'd do good in a garden.. 😆
😂😂😂
Mahalo for your honesty and factual info! I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.
Mahalo nui loa Rose!
Dude, I love your videos, and this one is great because you're putting in some critical thinking work as a local, and you're right on with your takes. Good insight and analysis! Much appreciated from another local.
Thank you!
Pretty darn interesting! No one is posting this type of content. Thanks Jacob!
As an international who has visited Vegas twice, it now just seems no different from any other place with a casino.
And worst of all, it just seems like a total shakedown from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave.
I can go to the casino in my home town and not feel like every time I do anything, someone is trying to stick their hand in my pocket.
Hey Jacob! Thank you. Very thorough.
Thanks for the video Jacob ! Hope you are well and have a great 2024 !
Thank you Jacob for the great info. I'll be visiting in early March, and I can't wait to get back!
Great job Jacob. Very thorough.
Thank you B!
I always just assumed that the pedestrian walkway thing was always due to F1. They tried to put those blocking things on the glass to prevent people from seeing anything and they got ripped down almost immediately. Then right after the race, they proposed the ban on stopping on the walkways.
I’ve missed this laid back style of video!
Thanks for another update! Hope we see you out there
Great update Jacob. 👍🏾
Thank you!
Great thought analysis Jacob !
Hiii Jacob loves ur videos I started watching them in December 🥰
Hey Jacob, thanks for covering news worthy topics and not just making another video on CES or a new hotel like many other content creators…your content is my go to for real local news. Thank you for the great work.
My thoughts too..
Thanks!
Great overview. Ty
Great video brother
Thanks Jacob 😊
Thanks for Letting me know that God bless
yo great work, great channel
Thanks Jacob
How much $ did county commission get paid to pass that ordinance
Good work, as always. Had a conversation with a local journalist that said the hands off approach to homeless population comes from the Federal Government, which I thought was interesting.
I was homeless in Las Vegas briefly. It's actually quite safe and there are plenty of shelters for young people, also they sign you up for medicaid within 2 weeks
Love your channel bro
Than kyou!
Thank you for this vid. Very informative.
Brother, the way you report the news is WAY better and any news reporter on the tv networks ! The material you put out is way easier to digest than the way TV says it. You held my attention in way TV would never and I’d be like BLEH i don’t care otherwise
Jacob I cave been to Vehas for years both as a child and a now as an adult. I remember those coupon books you used to get at check in that had match play coupons, specials on buffets, drinks, and free play. That’s when Vegas had cheap food and was a value destination that you didn’t mind loosing because you got much else discounted or free. Will those days ever return?
No
I think what you are saying is Vegas was better when it was run by the mafia instead of corporations. I think I agree.
@@irwfcm They still had these things after the mafia was gone, but the corporations were cutting back slowly. The cutbacks accelerated in the last 10-20 years with a huge jump during the shutdown in 2020.
You can get comped rooms, food, free play, and gifts if you are a repeat visitor.. I go 3 0r 4 times a year and have not paid for a room in 25 years. Same with Laughlin. One casino gives such good comps I have $500 worth of non expiring food coupons. And no you do not need to be a high roller My brother and I bet between 40 cents and $1 per spin. Comped rooms, free play and food coupons.
Great work, Jacob! Your input and informative points are much appreciated!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks Dennis!
Love your content and your presentation style.. You have a pleasant, non pretentious style and NOT annoying like the majority of RUclips influencers..
Informative!
I agree with what you are saying about the pedestrian bridges. Poll residents and visitors and ask them where they would rather have more police presence? Quick question since the strip is not within the city boundaries. The police are Clark Country Sheriffs but do metro help out too?
Wasn't there a time....when NEVADA had ZERO SALES TAX......on all purchases.....??
Guess the $$$ from Gaming Revenue.....isn't AS GOOD......as it once was.....??
I was just in Vegas the 4th to the 8th and on the strip the whole weekend I only saw maybe 4 homeless people. I was wondering what happened to all of them. Even on Fremont I hardly saw any.
If you replace a street crossing at street level with an over head then you are required ro use it to cross the street with no other pedestrian option. Those crossings should not be treated like a sidewalk but a street crossing. Passing the law would help the police to legally remove someone with less potential for valid lawsuits. Also, most of those pedestrian crossings have cameras that can be monitored by police so if someone obviously is sleeping or camping out, they can be identified and removed after sending an officer.
The law appears to be for the people who regularly stay on them for hours at a time and nit for people stopping to take pictures etc.
Also, homelessness and drug related crimes are on the increase so now is the time to make it easier for the police to do their jobs even when they are shorthanded.
Well let me see company are closing left and right no jobs usually crime goes up no brainer
13:48 "regardless of where you stand" pun intended 😂
Another great job Jacob. If F1 was a success, it was successful to a handful of folks that made an obscene amount of money because of F1. The VAST majority of locals and tourists were inconvenienced for months. Any thought that the "tax revenue" generated by F1 will have a positive impact on the safety or quality of life for anyone that lives in, or visits, Las Vegas is misguided at best.
Vegas is going to end up a net loser having F1 races, the only place that does good is Monaco...all other F1 races are a money pit.
Any news about the Power Outage at Horseshoe on Monday? Please and thank you
Cool cool can you do a series on the gambling at the casino resorts out in the suburbs ..not on the strip.
Thank you Jacob , always enjoy your thorough and straight forward videos. I agree F1 is driving too much power there in Vegas. It will be interesting to see how the next couple of years go with it. We have been going the week of Thanksgiving for a couple years now for my birthday but seeing the chaos in the aftermath of the race will most likely change that going forward. 😢
Vegas takes the hit now with f1 only to win later on. Vegas and locals will win in the long run. But yeah Vegas had to kiss a ss on the front side to bring the mula!!!! $$$$$
LMFAO at the pedestrian bridges law. As if they can say you can legally exercise your 1A at the street/walkway 5ft to the right but can't on the bridge 5ft to your left... 🤣🤣🤣. Loitering is an entirely different issue. This law is F'ed from day 1 after the first lawsuit from a rich tourist is filed.
Been two years since my Grand Jury duty. Last day the Judge thanked us and I believe he said it hasn't increased in KY since the 70's. A bankbreaking $12/day. The part of solitary confinement was very close word to word in the use of restraints in a hospital setting.
I’ve been summoned a few times, and never show up lol
Fortunately, I never had jury duty, but from the descriptions I read it seems similar to being arrested and thrown in jail.
Vegas cops rarely exit their SUVs. I dont think I've ever seen an officer walking the beat on the strip.
I love your channel even though I never really comment because I spend like 6 weeks a year in Vegas
Thank you Ryan! I appreciate you watching, whether you comment or not 😎
I was hit and by an illegal driver 5 nights ago. Found the runner. Called 911. They didn't have time to come. Grand theft auto and hit and run. No license plates on his car. Vegas Baby Vegas.
Hit and Run. I'm sure it was a stolen car. 911 operater was treating me like I was a nuisance.
Jacob for County Commissioner 😎👍
I've been going to LV NASCAR for years now. By the way that's OFF the strip. Last year the strip had that cool look you see around San Quetin. I'm now planning to avoid LV for at least 6 weeks before and after F1. Probably skip October 20th Nascar this year. Getting to the airport on time was cutting it too close last year.
Sounds like ppl want to be able to walk down the strip and not be harassed BUT greed, homelessness, won’t stop never will
Hey brother. Big fan. Where would you suggest for someone that wants to come for 4 months ? Like a laid back kinda Vegas place? Somewhere with movie theaters and things to do. just somewhere chill.
This sounds good to me now I just need to know the current laws that will be staying because I’m moving out there
I took that as a strictly F1 law too lol😂
El Cortez and Ellis Island along with Silver Sevens are the best value deals. Great food and big payouts
❤❤❤❤Hey J..you need a cap 🧢 and some very kool sunglasses 👓.😊
wow, how things have changed. i visited in 2017 and didnt see any homeless in the 10 days . felt safer than Sydney Australia.
All damn near everyone is just a few checks from being sleeping in the streets themselves
Vegas Matt mentioned " running for Mayor" yep he would make a good Mayor for your city.
Holy crap!!! State employees get 8 weeks of paid vacation!!!!
Wonder how much paid sick time they get.
It’s always easy to pay for stuff with other people’s money
uhh try listening to the video again- they get 8 weeks of family leave. I.e you have a kid. Don't even know what you're talking about, but can't wait to throw shade.
What an effed up state!What an effed up city!
I know I'm not going to Vegas during F1. Looked like the kind of hassle I don't want on vacation and Laughlin was booming.
It would be great to see 0% occupancy in the casino hotels. Then they can raise resort fees to $200 a night and they will collect $0.
Love the icon for the IDs. Its so smart I don't see why every state doesn't have that option for deaf or hard to hear/communicate individuals! The strip has gotten SO bad! The homeless population keeps growing (all over the valley for that matter) and nothing done about it, it's all for show. Idk what's worse that or the rise in scammers. Getting gross out there.
"Sleeping" or passed out? haha
👍🏻👍🏻
The bridge ordinance will never be effective because there aren't enough officers to enforce it. I see more homeless on the street than on the bridges. And most of the sellers aren't on the bridges but by the escalators to get up to the bridges.
Human composting?????? Wasn't that what comprised Soylant Green???????
When I cross those pedestrian bridges I don’t want to hear loud, obnoxious “musicians”, be peddled refilled water bottles, or see homeless sleeping / lying down. The bridges should be OPEN, not staggered with randoms here and there. Just people walking, and/or pausing for a few seconds to snap a photo….then keep walking. …..the THEME here is walking. 🤔🤷🏼♂️
@occamsrazorblade There aren’t enough officers, for sure. HOPEFULLY if there were an officer around, they’d review each possible “infraction” one by one. For instance, is that group just stopping for a minute to take pictures, and then moving on……or are they camping out, and then sitting? Is that person just stopping for a selfie…or are they setting up a “music” area, and staying put? It’s all a “case by case” situation, hopefully. 🤷🏼♂️
@occamsrazorblade ……And yeah, HOPEFULLY the officers wouldn’t be ignorant jerks.
Aside from the cost of a budget trip to Vegas having doubled since I went there last, I'm not going to Nevada as long as Lombardo is governor. And I'm waiting for apologies for the mandates and legislation stopping it from happening again. So I guess I'll never spend money in NV again.
I USED to vote blue. If I ever do move to another city I would never want it to be like what has transpired in New York City. Like
Killer Mike said, "Don't vote for people, vote for policy." 🇺🇲😎👊
Cesspool Rules!
so happy about the solitary confinement law. Don't know if I'll ever need it. lol
It's funny you mentioned the pedestrian bridge law, and that it's not for tourist stopping to take a photo to be arrested, because Miles to Memories thinks otherwise lol. Also, have you heard anything about the total net profit for F1 yet?
Wow, here in Texas you only get $5.00 for Jury duty. Thats awesome about the breast cancer benefits.
I got breast cancer in 2020 and even with insurance I am still recovering financially. Imagine have 5 different doctors, you have to go to multiple times a week. Have to pay co-pays for visits and each scans/x-rays they do. Plus medications. Treatment and surgery is usually a couple years.
Luckily here in Austin, TX our F1 track is separated out away from the city. But most locals cant afford to go. Alot if businesses lose money unless they are rented out. But they are making efforts to do family events at the race trace.
I'm moving to Nevada in summer. It will be interesting..especially the expensive gas prices.
🤨🤔 they definitely need to cut back on scams and straight up theft. The group of guys outside NY NY do quick change on anyone they could. 👎
One thing is for sure. I will never visit Las Vegas when F1 is in town.
Pedestrian ordinance straight after an F1 race, smells like corruption. 😮
Have they put signs on the pedestrian bridges? If there are no signs with the ordinance posted, then how can this ordinance be enforced?
Sleeping next to a busy road helps block out the voices…
Great as always Jacob, thanks for your focus on our homeless issues on the strip. I think we all would appreciate more resources dedicated to the problem, but I remain skeptical of the government's stated inability to address the problem due to lack of resources. Look at how the homeless problem virtually evaporated on the strip during F1, and watch how the homeless will again magically disappear during Superbowl week. It's not that those in charge can't address the issue, its that they only choose to handle the problem when the wealthy and privileged powerful are affected. Average middle class tourists and families on vacation from all over the nation and the world see first hand how Vegas really cares about it's perception and the appearance of the strip, as they step over sleeping homeless and deal with aggressive panhandling vagrants throughout the year.
Well said!!!
I hate the Homeless people are hanging out on the Strip. In front of Flamingo, the Linq and Harrahs. It disgusting and also don’t feel safe at all. Another problem are the vendors and people playing Music in front of Bellagio. It makes it look cheap and it clogs up the area because people stop to stare in the middle is the sidewalk. They need to clean that up and free up space to walk!!
Just back from Las Vegas darts open. I did notice the lack of Police compared to other major cities in the UK and Europe. Never seen any of the cup scammers unlike Paris where they seem to be at all the major tourist attractions. F1 should only be raced on a purpose built track out of town like most countries who hold F1 been to Silverstone a few times in the early 90s in the middle of nowhere.
F1 was the first thing I thought of after hearing about the new law.
The numbers are gonna skyrocket in 2024 and beyond because all the big tech events are abandoning San Francisco and have come here.
6:51 Boy didn't like his sentence apparently!
Jacob, you should be a police officer, since they're short staff. 😂
Goin to the luxor next week, I hope the fountains are working at Bellagio
Awesome! I hope you enjoy the trip!
Don’t stay at Luxor ! Stayed for 3 days for News Years, came home with a small brown fast bug in our luggage, only place we stayed.
I'm in Vegas right now. The sidewalk in front of Belagio is closed, and they are building some huge TV set out front for the Super Bowl. The fountains have been running like usual though.
