What to Do if You Get in Trouble & Are Arrested on the Las Vegas Strip

Step 1. Remain silent and contact a criminal defense attorney. If you find yourself being arrested on the strip take advantage of your fifth Amendment Right and remain silent. As many know, what you say can be held against you in the court of law and you might be surprised to learn what can be held against you in court. You have the right to choose your attorney. Make sure to find a reputable criminal defense lawyer to represent you. Make sure after you have contacted your attorney, that you follow our instructions.
Step 2. Analyze your charges and the reason for the arrest. There are a number of reasons you might be arrested. Some of the most common arrests on the strip usually involve one of the following:
• You may have been smoking marijuana, soliciting, or defacing the casino or its property.
• Shooting birds on the strip.
• Paying for or accepting sexual solicitations.
• Entering a casino property or building after you have been banned.
Your attorney will understand the nature of your arrest and your charges. We will then begin building you a solid defense. We will also discuss your best options regarding your case and if you need to consider entering into a negotiation or plea bargain with the prosecutor.
Step 3. Presenting your case. In many cases your attorney will use either witnesses, testimonies, and other evidence to assist in your defense during your hearing. During this time the prosecutor may drop or reduce the chargers held against you. A hearing can last a few hours or even days depending on the level of charges. Your attorney will attempt to set on a plea bargain to reduce your charges. Once all of the arguments and evidence was presented, the courts will come to their final decision. Either the court will convict you of your charges, or you will have accepted the plea bargain, perhaps all of the charges were dropped all together. Once the court reaches their final decision, you will know your final steps as ordered by the court.
