SHERRIFF WANTS SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS ALONG LAS VEGAS STRIP

Surveillance camera networks installed in London continually help identify terrorists and other wrongdoing, but currently there’s no similar network in place in Las Vegas.

Outgoing Clark County Sheriff Bill Young wants that to change, and he’s in the process of soliciting casinos along Las Vegas Boulevard to finance the project.

Young wants Big Brother all along the Strip, from Russell Road up to Sahara Avenue, and he wants cameras installed on the casinos’ private property, all fed into a central network.

A consultant estimates the cost at $3 million for 120 cameras, excluding operational costs.
