NBA all star game locations

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Imperial Palace is getting rennovated as is Bills Casino/Barbary Coast. They're building a huge entertainment complex, Vegas is definitely not slowing down. But yeah, you're right, making it a destination for the black community is sure to keep those white tourists coming back!

face it, when that allstar game was going down, people were warned to stay away if it ever comes back to. Its a huge gangster clusterfuck of ghetto shit. I had friends go down there and said it was wack as hell that weekend.

I don't think that an All-Star game is going to turn it into a ghetto destination. Brilliant move by Nevada to attract all of those CA businesses, though. I wish the leaders of CA Jr., er, Oregon had the foresight to become business-friendly.

It did last time, and the local residents were less interested in getting an NBA team. Everyone living there is a lakers fan anyway since a big portion of those people are from SoCal or fobs.

General Rudeness of NBA Fans Noticed

It wasn't the shootings, but the general rudeness of the NBA fans which left a lasting impression for some in Las Vegans.

Teresa Frey, Coco's general manager said, "I have been spit on. I have had food thrown at me. I have lost two servers out of fear. I have locked my doors out of fear of violence."

"With any type of event you have a percentage of the attendees, or people who come and are not here for the right reasons," said the sheriff.

The sheriff cannot arrest anyone for being rude, but he says officers did their best with an event lasting four days at a number of different places around the Las Vegas Strip.

"There is always going to be issues that arise," said Sheriff Gillespie.

For many people working on the Las Vegas Strip, those issues were enough to hope the All-Star game never returns. For the sheriff, he would support a rematch at the Thomas and Mack.

Visitors Notice Different Kind of Atmosphere in Las Vegas

Visitors also felt the different kind of Las Vegas atmosphere. "There was a problem with the people trying walking in front of cars and things like that," said David Hart, visitor from Houston.

"It was very crowded but we did get to where we were going," said Gwen Hart, visitor from Houston.

Gwen and David Hart flew into town on Friday and when they saw the large groups of younger NBA fans, they say they avoided them to avoid problems.

That's the same technique David Botero and his wife used. "It was definitely a Las Vegas we had not seen in the past. It was not vintage Vegas at all," David Botero said. He moved from Las Vegas to New York three years ago. His wife surprised him with a 30th birthday trip back to the city they both love. It turned out to be bad timing.

Although many Las Vegans, including Teresa Frey, support an NBA team in Las Vegas, she doesn't want to see another All-Star game anytime soon.

"I know that any amount of revenue I made does not justify me being assaulted," she said.
