It’s a murder case against a pro per with limited access to a law library and who has been told he can’t change his mind about getting counsel. A continuance was inevitable.
I would be shocked if they did. The taint team still has to filter the phone before either side gets anything. Can't conceivably go to trial before that happens.

I got thwacked. My comment included a Telles aside that was unnecessary, but I think the news that the people nominated to be the most important lawmaker in the country keep failing to get elected is law-related and notable.
I have employed prostitutes and attorneys, and allow me to assure you I have not regretted a cent spent on the former and regret almost every penny spent on the latter.

Clark County is such a shit show. F1 has been mishandled from day 1. I’m so sick of this town taking on these events that we just do not have the infrastructure to support. Festivals downtown, multiple stadiums with no parking, shutting down the strip for parades/races…it’s all insanity and average resident sees little to no benefit.
I love the Sphere as a structure. As a logistical decision, it is a (insert favorite invective) show. There is no parking. There is no easy way for traffic to get there. It has opened in the middle of Koval being (insert second favorite invective) up while Sands is (insert second favorite invective) up. And now you are going to screw everything up for months every year to set up, conduct the race and take down.
Here's a thought experiment. Much of the F1 race is occurring on not just public property, but property that has traditionally been a public forum (the sidewalks on the Strip). If I insist on protesting F1 at or very, very near F1 during the event, isn't that protected by the 1A? In litigation, what's the outcome of that? Seems like it would be a nice way to fuck over F1 in retribution for what they have done to us locals.
I'm not an F1 fan but you're choosing to live in Las Vegas. Huge events like Super Bowls, music festivals and conventions come with the territory. You can move to Reno if you don't being around big events.
Reno? Gross. OP here. Plans are in motion for me to leave this state entirely. That said, I disagree with you. If you notice, in my original post I talked about events we don’t have the infrastructure for. I hate to talk good about NASCAR, but putting the speedway where they did is a good example of putting such a large event space where it should be…and there’s a big ass freeway to handle all the attendees and there’s tons of parking. They can have their party without disrupting other businesses and residents for months on end.
@2:02 traffic does increase, there are more RVs in town, etc, but it doesn’t shut down the city the way F1 has. And thank you 2:04 for your contribution to the discussion. Clearly you don’t live or work anywhere near the track or you wouldn’t say that. It’s been an entire year of backed up traffic, business interruptions, and randomly closed roads with little/no notice. It’s a horribly managed project. Shit show doesn’t even begin to describe what it’s been like.
I represent a number of construction companies, a few of whom are involved in the construction. In spite of the inconvenience to motorists (welcome to Vegas already), the construction is actually going very smoothly and is not "horribly managed" in the slightest. LV Paving (not my client, I wish) is one of the strongest and best run public works contractors in the nation and given the timeline to get this done and done right, they are killing it.
You are right, I neither live nor work near the strip/Koval Lane. By choice.
I am sorry that you work at Howard Hughes and that says way more about you than it does me.
The F1 Grand Prix will not live up to its expectations. Under the best of circumstances it will under perform. Now we have a war in the Middle East which will affect international tourism just in time for the race. They are already offering discounted tickets and hotel room rates are crashing for the race. Suspect the amount of money spent on infrastructure will not ever be realized.
Too early to tell.
Doubt that a[nother] conflict in Gaza will dramatically impact international anything, least of all travel.
The tickets themselves are not discounted and room rates were artificially inflated well in advance. Crashing is hyperbole at best. Nice try.
We know that you hate F1 in Vegas. But, conclusory statements without expertise or evidence falls flat on its face.
I don't hate it because it wont affect me and it brings prestige and loads of money into our community. Making it all good on the hood for me.
I am not 9:42 but yes there is evidence of room rates crashing. Horseshoe was $600 for Friday before the race, now it is $90. R/J reported room rates are 30% of what they previously were for that weekend. If the DJIA went from 33,455 today to 10,000, we would call that a crash.
Apples and oranges and you know it.
That's a terrible analogy. . . . .and. . . you. . .know . . .it.
I will say it again, since you didn't hear me the first time. The rooms were ARTIFICIALLY jacked up during the hype of F1. Just like they are for the Super Bowl in a few months (FYI Horseshoe is currently $799 for a King room for Super Bowl Weekend and $124 for F1 Weekend).
Now F1 is a couple of weeks away and the Horseshoe and everyone else down there is trying to fill the rooms for that weekend.
Face it, everyone from all over the world that already has F1 tickets and is making a vacay of it already has their rooms booked at $600++. Now the resorts are trying to get as many warm bodies in as they can.
If you artificially jack up the price of something and all of the takers are booked, then reduce the price to normal November levels, just to get the bodies in town, that isn't a crash.
OK well when homes were artificially inflated and the mortgage crisis hit in 2007, they called it a crash. When tech stocks were trading at nosebleed P/Es in 2000 and plummeted it, they called it a crash. So just because things are artificially inflated does not mean that it is not a crash when the helium comes out of the balloon. Yeah its a crash.
If not planned, it was at the very least anticipated. It happens prior to big events in Las Vegas and every other major location prior to a major community event. Its planned.
10/19, 719a, I'm not sure you can say this has really been running smoothly. Las Vegas Paving, which is responsible for submitting its own traffic control plans to the County, routinely ignore their own plans, making it impossible to reliably plan for closed routes.

I have a pet peeve. Do not have your legal assistant call me for 5 minutes to set up a time for you to call me for 5 minutes. Those 5 minutes of mine that you wasted with your secretary could have been you talking to me about whatever it is that you wanted to discuss for 5 minutes.
One of my pet peeves as well. When an assistant calls and asks to schedule a time for a phone call, I tell her to tell her boss to pick up the damn phone and call me.
Old news. He was charged in 2021 to theft of more than $3,500, plead guilty this past March, and was sentenced in July to 3-8 years. In June, he was charged in Justice Court of theft of more than $100,000, waived prelim, and was supposed to be bound over to District Court with a July appearance, but I don't see a new case filed there. NDOC currently shows him in SDCC on the 3-8.
Yeah. The first case he stole $50k, in the second case he is alleged to have stolen around $1 million. He was holding himself out as an attorney in both cases. Who would expect that someone who would lie multiple times about being a police officer would also lie about being an attorney. His license plate was "sue4you" or something absurd like that so I'm surprised nobody got him on it sooner.
Telles won his motion, the first of many I'm sure
This is not a shock for anyone involved in criminal law.
To be fair, it is his second Christmas in. Second Christmas is always easier than the first.
Fair enough. I shouldn't have called him a Dbag.
ma bad.
It’s a murder case against a pro per with limited access to a law library and who has been told he can’t change his mind about getting counsel. A continuance was inevitable.
Did CCDA even oppose the motion?
I would be shocked if they did. The taint team still has to filter the phone before either side gets anything. Can't conceivably go to trial before that happens.
CCDA wouldn't dare
And why would they?
The thwack hammer of justice was swift this morning
I got thwacked. My comment included a Telles aside that was unnecessary, but I think the news that the people nominated to be the most important lawmaker in the country keep failing to get elected is law-related and notable.
Equating Jim Jordan with Telles is NOT notable.
Any they both lost elections. . . .
I love working girls. Very much. I treat and remunerate them like the professionals they are. If only Clark County would follow Nye County's lead.
I have employed prostitutes and attorneys, and allow me to assure you I have not regretted a cent spent on the former and regret almost every penny spent on the latter.

It wouldn't F over F1 since they aren't a government. It would F over Clark County taxpayers.
Your protest would be met with reasonable time, place and manner restrictions. You are free to protest north of Fashion Show Drive.
Unless you spring for a $200 locals only ticket. Then you can protest at 10pm when the race starts.
I'm not an F1 fan but you're choosing to live in Las Vegas. Huge events like Super Bowls, music festivals and conventions come with the territory. You can move to Reno if you don't being around big events.

They can have their party without disrupting other businesses and residents for months on end.
@1:36 Clearly you've never driven in Vegas during NASCAR weekend. It's a total disruption to many parts of town, not just the immediate vicinity.
oh! FFS knock off the GD whining. . . . . .
@1:04 The "$200 Locals Ticket" is for practice only
Gotcha. Show ya how much I actually GAF. I will be watching on TV, from the comfort of my couch.
@2:02 traffic does increase, there are more RVs in town, etc, but it doesn’t shut down the city the way F1 has. And thank you 2:04 for your contribution to the discussion.

So just because things are artificially inflated does not mean that it is not a crash when the helium comes out of the balloon. Yeah its a crash.
A crash by definition is unplanned and unexpected.
Not a crash if its planned and standard protocol for big events.
Your analysis that the hotels planned to discount their rooms by 70% ia month before the race in a panic is an interesting albeit groundless theory.
If not planned, it was at the very least anticipated. It happens prior to big events in Las Vegas and every other major location prior to a major community event. Its planned.
Hotel Management 101.

Or better yet, just send an email.
That's old school bro, it's how you convince your clients you're worth five hundred an hour
Secretary: "Please hold for Elaine Benes."
Jerry: "Oh, I don't believe this."
My response to such calls, has on occasion been "I don't talk to legal assistants for such purposes."
If she cant work it out with my assistant directly, then her boss can call me personally . . . for 5 minutes.
Sorry doll, I am just as important as your boss.
12:52 – Anyone that would call someone "doll" – is a friend of mine! haha
Lol, not "doll" in that tone!!
One of my pet peeves as well. When an assistant calls and asks to schedule a time for a phone call, I tell her to tell her boss to pick up the damn phone and call me.
"You call him Doctor Jones, doll!"

In other news, Mack Miller is in prison again. #partyoffamilyvalues
Link??
Old news. He was charged in 2021 to theft of more than $3,500, plead guilty this past March, and was sentenced in July to 3-8 years.

Case No. C-22-362875-1
Case No. C-23-375276-1
Weird. The 23 case doesn't show up if you try a search for Miller, Mack. The "iI" suffix probably has something to do with that.
Yeah. The first case he stole $50k, in the second case he is alleged to have stolen around $1 million. He was holding himself out as an attorney in both cases. Who would expect that someone who would lie multiple times about being a police officer would also lie about being an attorney.
