Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) – The Clark County Commission on Tuesday passed a new ordinance Tuesday that it hopes will lower the rising tide of crime being seen on the Las Vegas Strip.
The 'Order Out Corridor,' amendment says that if a person is convicted of committing any crime within the designated corridor they can be banned from the area for up to a year.
The current boundaries extend from Sahara Avenue south to Russell Road, and from Arville east to Paradise Road.
On Tuesday, Clark County commissioners moved forward with a new map that adds Tropicana to the west to include the Orleans Hotel and gets rid of the east side which included residential apartments.
This ruling used to specifically be for trespassing and prostitution but now applies to anyone convicted of any crime on the Strip, felony or misdemeanor.
The ordinance isn’t taking effect right away, with law enforcement officers needing to get up to speed with the language of the legislation.
