There was much discussion some years ago...

************************
emailed the Las Vegas Police Department with a link to the video. The response from the Office of Public Information was, in part:

"This video WAS staged in Las Vegas on the corner of Las Vegas Blvd and
Sahara about 8 to 10 years ago. The LVMPD was not aware of the incident
until after it took place, and after an investigation, it was determined
to have been staged."

From a Snopes thread.

There was some links on the RJ but that appears gone.

The attack is Sahara and LV Blvd.

Saw that guy on the news a few years ago, he was suing the maker of those movies, along with a few other bums. I don't believe in taking advantage of those people. There is one bum over on Maryland that I make sure I pack some food for him in my lunch box everyday. If things went differently that could easily be me out there. I often talk to the bums/homeless whatever we call them. Some of them are very nice.

And it wasn't a "bum fight", it was an extremely viscous attack on a passerby that could have had fatal ramifications. And, it looks like it happened near that nasty little area known as "Naked City" (surprise, surprise).

I still think that area is dangerous and will be for some time until there is some radical gentrification there.

Look in the background of the video, it wasn't Naked City. Naked City doesn't get busy traffic like that.

ACTUALLY, what has been known as Naked City [after an old TV show] is the area BEGINNING at LVBS and SAHARA [NW Corner of the street] It runs NORTH to Wyoming and WEST to industrial road....

In actuality it is the area BEHIND LVBS over to Indistrial, the Motels and Shops and the Stratosbarf are NOT n the 'Naked City" area

It used to be small apartments 2,4,6,8 units with a small park in the center of it. The units were occupied primarily by dealears and cocktail waitresses with a smattering of hookers...was a PERFECTLY safe place to live albiet a little rundown and low rent, up until about 1978 it is NOWHERE like what kitwhatever trys to make it out to be, but it does have a preponderance of dealers [drugs not cards] and hookers [sex not rugs] i would feel PERFECTLY safe in there at 12 noon and marginally safe at midnight.

Nevertheless, this was apparently a staged event. So, assuming you could even say so from one such event, it appears that Las Vegans don't "hate PT Cruisers", although the rental car companies have given them up there and everywhere else.

The PT Cruiser was discontinued 3 years ago. Rental car companies usually have cars less than one year old.

Yes, according to THAT map, that is Naked City territory. When I get time I will find another map that once saw that didn't stretch out to LVBD.

I doubt that showgirls were actually on the Strip sun bathing butt naked.

Could be wrong though.
