Mystery surrounds Las Vegas case with hit and run
A Strip hotel executive linked to a September hit and run in Las Vegas was not cited due to failure to identify the driver. City departments billed the hotel for two damaged street signs and a commissioner paid the bill, later saying he was reimbursed by the hotelman. Police traced the Buick to the executive’s wife but could not confirm a citation or its disposition. Authorities noted possible political pressure but denied involvement. Further follow up was planned.
