Crime Research
Just like any large metropolitan area (there are approx. 1.8Million people in the Las Vegas Valley), there is crime in the area–depending on the area. A GREAT website to check crime is CrimeView Community Incident Map. You can search different crime types (accident, homicide, burglary, etc.) by landmark, zip code and cross streets (among other ways).
