SAY NO TO VIDEO POKER BAR @ Ft Apache/Huntington Village

  • by: Diane Diamond
  • recipient: Susan Brager, County Commissioner, Las Vegas, NV

Huntington Village and Rhodes Ranch residents do not need or want a Video Poker Bar in our neighborhood. There are currently FIVE Video Poker Bars less than 3 miles from the proposed location. Independent studies have shown that the higher the density of alcohol establishments, the higher the incidence of violence. Las Vegas Metro Police are already challenged to control violence and drunk drivers. Do we really need to make their job more difficult than it already is? While we all accept the fact that our local economy is fueled by drinking and gambling, it should be possible for residents to live away from these types of establishments, if they so desire. We believe that placing this bar near our school bus stops will create an unsafe environment for our children. It will most certainly lower our property values and make our community less desirable to future residents. Most likely, we will experience an increase in crime, vandalism, trash and noise. Intoxicated patrons will use our community roads to make U-turns, most often at the intersection where our middle school kids wait for the bus.

This proposed VIDEO POKER BAR in UNWELCOME. This land could be put to much better use - a day care center, a family restaurant, a gym, a park.....certainly something better than another video poker bar.

When will Las Vegas decide to put its residents first? When does the safety of our communities become a priority? I URGE everyone to sign this petition to DENY the developer the ability to place a VIDEO POKER BAR in our neighborhood.

 

Dear Commissioner Brager:


The residents of Huntington Village and Rhodes Ranch do not want a Video Poker Bar in our neighborhood. We have far to many of these types of establishments less than 3 miles from our homes. Please help us preserve the integrity of our neighborhoods, keep our children safe, stop crime from invading our community by showing us that you care about our quality of life. DENY any and all permits to place a video poker bar in our community. WE DON'T NEED IT! WE DON'T WANT IT!


Sincerely,


Diane Diamond
