Fremont Street Experience Sting

I spend a fair amount of time on Fremont Street.  The other day I was people watching and notice a young man randomly stopping passersby.  After approaching a few people an older gentleman went into a store and returned with two cans of beer for the young man.  Right after he handed the beer over he was arrested by the police.

I remained in the area and watched this happen three more time in an hour.  Just letting you know.

Jaywalking in Las Vegas - Don't do it

Las Vegas had a well deserved reputation as a place where pedestrians were hit by cars.  The combination of drunk pedestrians and out of town traffic looking at all the attractions translated into many vehicle verses person collisions.  Las Vegas had to enforce its Jaywalking laws to help keep the injuries down.  The justification has lessened because of all of the pedestrian barriers along the strip and the intersection over crosses.  The police however have maintained their affection for writing jaywalking tickets.

 The Nevada statute on Jaywalking defines it as crossing the street:

           "Between adjacent intersections at which official traffic-control devices are in
            operation pedestrians shall not cross at any place except in a marked crosswalk."
            (NRS 484B.287)

I honestly am not sure exactly what this means.  Do you need traffic controls of every direction of the intersection.  Is a stop sign a traffic control device.   But really it does not matter.  The police will ticket you.  The fine can be up to $695.00.  You don't need that hassle.

Hand of Faith Golden Nugget Fremont Street Las Vegas Largest Gold Nugget on Display

On Fremont Street within the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino is displayed a gold nugget that is approximate 62 pounds.  It is the largest gold nugget on display anywhere.  According to the display it was found by a guy with a metal detector.  Apparently this guy got the urge to go metal detecting and when out behind his trailer.  There six inches below the surface he found the nugget.  This nugget is about eighteen inches tall.  At the current price of gold, about 1400.00 dollars an ounce, that equals over a million dollars.

Where's my metal detector?
