I found this reader’s letter to the editor in the Review Journal:

From our readers
On a recent Friday night visit to the Fremont Street Experience, the street was full of panhandlers and half-naked men and women. It’s become a disgraceful circus atmosphere. I have lived here 38 years, and I have never seen such trash and disrespect for tourists and locals alike.

If I was a tourist I would not come back to Las Vegas. Where were Metro police officers? There weren’t any to be seen. Come on, Mayor Carolyn Goodman, if you want this to be a great city and grow, clean up the streets. And the Clark County Commission should do likewise for the Strip. There is no excuse.

Once the tourists leave for another destination, they might not return.

Obviously, I agree completely with Mr Rogers, As I wrote just a couple days ago here.
