Nevada No Tuvo Forma de Investigar a los Dueños de Casinos Hasta 1949. Bugsy Siegel Abrió el Flamingo Tres Años Antes.

A Private 1960 Deal Desegregated Las Vegas Casinos. Nevada Didn’t Pass Its Own Civil Rights Law Until Five Years Later.
The Nevada Equal Rights Commission that investigates discrimination complaints across the state today — in housing, employment and public accommodations — didn’t exist when Las Vegas casino owners agreed in 1960 to stop turning away Black customers.

LVMPD Asked the Justice Department to Review Its Own Shootings in 2012. Outside Assessors Were Still Grading the Results Four Years Later.
The framework Las Vegas police still use to investigate their own shootings — a critical incident review process, mandatory reality-based training, and a use-of-force policy split into separate sections for firearms and less-lethal weapons — traces directly to a federal review the department asked for itself in 2012, after a string of shootings brought unwanted… Continue reading LVMPD Asked the Justice Department to Review Its Own Shootings in 2012.

A 1911 Executive Order Stitched Together the Fort Mojave Tribe’s Reservation From a Closed Army Fort. The Nevada Piece of It Now Funds a Casino.
The Fort Mojave Indian Tribe’s reservation exists today because federal officials in 1911 pieced it together out of a decommissioned military post, adjoining federal land and leftover railroad-grant parcels — the scraps left after decades of displacement and forced assimilation. The Nevada slice of that patchwork, in Clark County, is what today anchors the tribe’s… Continue reading A 1911 Executive Order Stitched Together the Fort Mojave Tribe’s Reservation From a Closed Army Fort.

The Teamsters’ Central States Pension Fund spent decades financing and getting burned by Las Vegas, from casino construction loans that went bad to a bribery scheme aimed at Nevada’s own U.S. senator.
