Waiting for help
A Las Vegas Metro Police cycle cop was left in the middle of Flamingo Road just south of Eastern Avenue after an accident separated the officer from his ride.
Flipchip shot these photos Sunday evening of the unidentified Metro officer moments after the accident. Details of the crash were unavailble.
This has been a very unlucky year for Las Vegas Metro Police. Driving any vehicle in Las Vegas has always been akin to prop betting with the devil. Good thing we're a city of gamblers.

This is probably the best-looking mugshot you'll ever see.
A fume-filled Escalade near Wynn Las Vegas caused a motorcycle cop to pull it over, suspecting marijuana.
Hilton's boyfriend Cy Waits (who manages the Tryst nightclub at Wynn) was driving, with Hilton in the passenger seat.
Later, when Hilton pulled lip balm from her purse (possibly in preparation for the mugshot), a bag of cocaine allegedy fell out.
Both were booked and released from Clark County jail.

She was arrested on possession and put in the Clark County Detention Center.

Caesars Palace Las Vegas
Apparently dancing on a casino table game costs $250,000.
Back in October, a high-limit baccarat player at Caesars Palace climbed on his table at least three times (and even danced at one point), and personnel didn't stop him. The game was still in progress.
The Nevada Gaming Control Board filed a complaint against the casino, citing safety and game protection concerns.
The ruling came down this week, and Caesars was fined a quarter of a million dollars.

Less than a year and a half old, and the M Resort is already in flux.
First there’s the bit of bad luck with the casino opening in a bad economy that has still yet to recover despite slow signs early this year. The $1 billion M Resort has $700 million in debt, which is controlled by Lloyds Banking Group.
And last month, Lloyds put their majority stake in the hotel-casino up for sale at an auction.

Las Vegas = most stressed-out city in America

You'd think a town such as our fine neon city would be the most stressless city in the U.S.
And it very well may be, just as long as you're a tourist.
But for locals, Forbes magazine has listed Las Vegas as being at the top of this year's survey of America's Most Stressful Cities.
Seems running a 24-hour city to make others' vacations is detrimental to stress levels. Not to mention the high 14.5 percent unemployment and bad housing market.
Second on the list: Los Angeles.
