The Las Vegas City Council unanimously voted [Wednesday] to expand the boundaries of the city’s order-out corridor by 29 acres to include the Plaza Hotel and Main Street Station parking garage.
The ordinance allows a judge to ban people from tourist corridors for misdemeanor offenses committed in those areas in a move they say reduces crime.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Nevada opposed the expansion of the ban, saying it could be challenged in court because similar legislation by Clark County is being disputed.
“Expanding the order-out corridor boundaries before the constitutionality of the ordinance is decided would be premature and could lead to further legal complications…” said Tia Smith, an attorney with the ACLU.
