The Planet Hollywood hotel-casino, seen here on the Las Vegas Strip, was the site of a recent fight recorded on video. Police have beefed up their patrols to stem violence in tourism areas. (Image: Las Vegas Magazine<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Those incidents are the latest in a surge of gunfire and assaults<\/a> on or near the Strip at some of the world\u2019s most renowned resorts. The Strip includes more than 20 hotel-casinos in a three-mile stretch, running from the Sahara at the northern end to the Mandalay Bay at the southern end.<\/p>\n

\n

Dustin Nelson said he shot video of \u201ca cat fight royale free-for all\u201d on a pedestrian bridge near Planet Hollywood just after 8:30 pm on Saturday, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>. The video shows a dozen or more mostly young men and women punching and kicking. It is posted on the newspaper website.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Nelson told the newspaper he saw a security guard at the scene, but no police officers. Police later said there were no records of any fights at that area, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Nelson told the newspaper he wanted to share the video because \u201cit\u2019s my city, so I care.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

It is not the same city as it was before the pandemic,<\/strong>\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Nelson said low hotel room rates tend to attract \u201canybody\u201d to the city.<\/p>\n

Gov. Steve Sisolak (D) allowed casinos to reopen June 4 after a COVID-19 lockdown that began in March. Some resorts opened more quickly than others. Planet Hollywood is the latest property to begin operating again on the Strip. It reopened Oct. 8.<\/p>\n

Four Arrested in Shooting<\/h2>\n

The fight on the pedestrian bridge is the second recent violent incident in that area.<\/p>\n

On Monday, a man fired a weapon just before 1 am on the Strip near Planet Hollywood. The confrontation involved at least three other people, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>. There were no reported injuries.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Four people were booked into the Clark County Detention Center in connection with the incident, the newspaper reported.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Rosales, 24, was being held on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and discharging a weapon where people might be endangered, according to the Review-Journal<\/em>. Patelesio Togia, 22, Daniel Mikaele, 25, and Leslie Derrar, 20, also were booked in\u00a0 the incident.<\/p>\n

Security Upped in Response<\/h2>\n

The video from Saturday\u2019s fight is the second one showing a violent incident near Planet Hollywood.<\/p>\n

\n

On Oct. 11, one man was shot in the leg and hospitalized in a drug transaction at the Miracle Mile Shops on the Strip, according to police. The Miracle Mile Shops are connected to Planet Hollywood. The profanity-laced video was posted on KSNV-TV<\/em>\u2019s website.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Public concern over an increase in violence has led to beefed-up police patrols<\/a> along the Strip and other tourist areas. Authorities have said \u201ca good portion\u201d of this violence is coming from out-of state gang members and visitors.<\/p>\n

Some resorts on the Strip have implemented their own in-house security measures in response. The Cosmopolitan has added additional guards and is scanning guests with a metal detector.<\/p>\n

Guards at the two Wynn Resorts properties \u2014 the Encore and Wynn Las Vegas \u2014 also are scanning guests with metal detectors. A fight at the Encore in September caused an estimated $15,000 in damage.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
