Two Las Vegas casinos were robbed in the early morning hours today and Metro Police are searching for two separate suspects.
Shortly after midnight, the Wildfire Casino on North Rancho Road was robbed of $10,000 by a gun-toting man who threatened a clerk, police said.
Then, about 4 a.m., a man walked up to a Fitzgerald’s hotel and casino cage cashier in downtown Las Vegas, handed the clerk a note and walked out with $5,300 in cash, police said. The clerk did not see a weapon, but the man implied that he had one, police said.
That robber left Fitzgerald’s and hailed a taxicab on Third Street, police said. He was dropped off near 17th Street and Oakey Boulevard, officers said.
Before going to Fitzgerald’s, the same man caused a disturbance at the Golden Nugget, but security guards there escorted him off the property, police said. Robbery detectives secured video camera tapes at both the Golden Nugget and Fitzgerald’s.
The man who robbed Fitzgerald’s is desribed as stocky, about 5-foot-10 to 6 feet tall, between 35 and 40 years of age with dark hair and a moustache, police said. The man was wearing a tan, short-sleeved shirt and dark pants at the time of the robbery, police said.
Anyone who has any information on either robbery is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 385-5555.

Metro Police assisted security personnel at an area casino and arrested the parents of a 10-month-old boy Friday after the baby was left in a stroller in front of the Imperial Palace hotel and casino for more than an hour.
Officers arrived at the hotel at about 5:35 p.m. Friday after two concerned tourists reported to security officers that the baby was alone in his stroller, police said.
Officers and security agents were able to determine who the parents were through video surveillance cameras, and officers went down to the floor to search for the parents who had abandoned the child, police said.
The parents were inside the casino gambling. When questioned, they told police they had left the baby after an argument. Both parents left the baby in his stroller on the sidewalk in front of the casino, police said.
A family friend, Yvette Sical, said this afternoon the parents left the stroller thinking the other had the baby. When the father called the mother, who returned to their hotel room and who is six months pregnant with their second child, she reminded him to change the baby’s diaper and he realized the child had been left behind.
The father, 37-year-old David Luna-Cardenas, and mother, 35-year-old Maria Larios-Cortes, have been arrested on one count of felony child endangerment and one count of felony child neglect, police said.
The parents were booked into the Clark County Detention Center. They will have an appearance in court on Nov. 24.
The family was visiting Las Vegas, police said. Clark County Child Protective Services took the baby into custody.
The baby was returned to the parents Sunday morning, Sical said.
“They didn’t abandon the baby. It was a mistake,” Sical said.
They were in Las Vegas for two weeks and planned to return to Mexico on Thursday. They will be in Las Vegas for their court appearance, she said.
The video tapes from the hotel have been booked as evidence and are not being released by police.

Vegas cops to report all immigration violations http://www.privateofficer.com

Illegal immigrants who get into trouble with the law in Las Vegas will be referred to federal immigration enforcement officers — even if they aren’t found guilty of any criminal offense — thanks to a new program being instituted by the city’s police department.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department announced Wednesday a partnership between Immigration and Customs Enforcement that will implement a jail-based program focusing on identifying criminals who are illegally in the United States.
The effort is part of Section 287 (g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, which authorizes the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to enter into agreements with state and local law enforcement agencies, permitting designated officers to perform immigration law enforcement functions.
Individuals arrested into the Clark County Detention Center who report a foreign birth, a standard question when entering the system, will be referred to one of 10 specially trained correction officers. Officers will have access to the Federal Immigration Database, a system previously only authorized to ICE.
If correction officers find a question of illegal status, the case will be referred to ICE. Individuals will serve their local or state sentence before the case is seen before an immigration judge.
Depending of the level of the crime, the individual may be held in custody by ICE or released on a bond before the hearing.
“This program will assist Immigration in identifying persons with documentation concerns in our detention center so those cases can be handled according to procedures set up by ICE,” Sheriff Douglas Gillespie said. “We do not want to give criminals the opportunity to return to a life of local crime.”
The program officially begins later this month and will not be retroactive, although ICE is currently looking into some cases within Clark County Detention Center.
The program will not be in other city jails or in the Clark County Juvenile Detention Center.
Though Metro Police assured the program will not be “policing innocent people on the street,” individuals with documentation concerns who have been found not guilty will be turned over to ICE.
“A police officer had probable cause to believe that that individual committed a crime.

Because of that probable cause, they were booked into the detention center and because they are, that triggers that ICE program,” Gillespie said of those cases.
Metro Police is the first department in Nevada to implement the partnership with ICE and one of 63 in the country.

Metro police, piecing it all together, were able to name a suspect and later arrested Jesse James cole, 21.
He is charged with murder with a deadly weapon, attempted murder with a deadly weapon, discharge firearm from roadway and discharging a firearm from a motor vehiclele.
Cole was arrested on drug charges Tuesday but then confessed to the murder while he was in jail. Police have reportedly recovered the gun.
According to the arrest report, Cole says he didn’t remember firing the gun because he says he was drunk.
Police say a group of teens, including the two victims, had just left a graduation party and congregated at Baskin Park.
That’s when someone, believed to be Cole — driving a Toyota Scion — fired multiple shots into the group, hitting Miramontes and Luscombe. Miramontes was sitting in the backseat of a car at the time.
Preliminary reports say the shooting may have stemmed from earlier arguments at different parties throughout that night.
