Visiting Las Vegas' Most Dangerous Hoods...With Commentary

The first time I was in Las Vegas, I was thinking how pretty building were, then these 2 little kids ran by with no shoes, torn dirty cloths, dirty little faces. No adults even with them. That kinda opened my eyes to the poor side of Vegas. My whole trip was affected by that. I didn’t enjoy it as much after that. So much money, So many vagrants. Just kind of made me sad.

Lorenzi Park on W. Washington Ave was a beautiful, safe park with a very nice rose garden (now locked) 7 years ago. It has become a day time hangout for the homeless. People wash themselves in the kiddie splash pad and water fountains. I used to walk my dogs there daily. I miss going there. Last time I tried to walk my dog a man washing himself in public and his loose pit bull scared me away. 😢

You should’ve went through there about nine or 10 o’clock at night then you’d see what comes out of the woodwork. I traveled different places for work time and time again around the United States. I’ve been all over Philadelphia Stockton, California. I learn to go out at night before you rent a motel or a place to make sure you know what’s going on at night, believe me they come out of the woodwork at night dead

Rosie, my family and I became homeless on Jan 2022. We live in Norcal. Anyway, we camped for 2 weeks at two different reservoirs in our area. My 3 boys left messes like you wouldn’t believe outside our trailer and the sheriff would have to come over and tell us to clean up. It was embarrassing to live like that. Anyway, to make a long story short, hubby was severely injured on 6/24/22 and after that me and my kids had to pull ourselves up by our boot strings and we are now living in a house. Hubby is still in the hospital however.

IMO Craig/nellis boulder/flamingo /Pecos/Carey, North Town etc are pretty rough Naked city has calm down a lot

Very sad to see people living like animals in the streets and to see all of those poor stray cats. That always gets to me. 😞

can't imagine living there in the summers. Thanks for sharing, Rosie..

Thank you for the video and information. One thing that would help would be to add a brief photo of an aerial view from Google maps of each general area you visited to help increase the viewers knowledge even more. Thank you again!

I left the Alphabets and the entire state a couple years ago from the historic West side. I was attacked by 2 homeless people, my home was robbed, my car and 4 of my neighbors cars were stolen, gun shots constantly. The homelessness went from the corner of Vegas and Main and made it all the way down to the Alphabets. By the time I left the homeless tents were popping up coming into my block, I had 3 tents behind my back fence. The cryps came in from Cali and the gang fights started. It was no longer a safe place. I do miss my close neighbors though. They were awesome.

Made me miss Las Vegas. Im from North Las Vegas ❤

The crazy thing I noticed in vegas is that what look like luxury apts in a place like L.A county could be a place where a gang is in las las vegas.

Thanks for sharing this with us, Rosie ❤

Thank you for sharing the part of Vegas that I didn't get the chance to see as a tourist, although we did drive through a bit of a sketchy area when driving from Henderson up to the Fremont Street area and downtown

I worked in Camden NJ for 31 years

Oh the sunshine does not make that area look any better that is for sure. I gasped when I saw the first tore up GMC RV.

Jerry's Nugget might be the furthest west you went but it isn't on the West side of Vegas. Ambulances and fire trucks sound like there was probably a car accident somewhere in the area. Even the worst areas in Vegas are generally safe for anyone in a vehicle to drive through day or night just don't loiter or get an attitude with people. I really am generally positive in my comments but there was A LOT of fluff and drama to this.

Such a sad site Rosie.

Costs nothing to be clean and tidy. But you get some people a home and they just trash it. We see it all the time.

There are actually a few million dollar homes not too far from the first neighborhood that was shown. Off Hollywood Blvd, there's a $4 million dollar property (perhaps the most expensive on the east side). Those owners aren't concerned about these "hoods" otherwise they wouldn't have made the purchase.

Cant believe people think moving to the desert is the place to be🤣🤣 i think id rather be anywhere else in america than there
