Arrested at a Las Vegas Pool Party or Nightclub?

The Las Vegas Pool Party is becoming an increasingly popular venue for people to keep the party going when they visit Las Vegas. Most major hotel / casinos now have some form of outdoor club, with names such as Wet Republic at the MGM Grand, Rehab at the Hard Rock Hotel, Taos Beach Club at the Venetian, Venus Pool at Caesar's , Bare Las Vegas Pool Party at the Mirage, and Liquid at Aria, to name just a few.

What you may not know (or may have since learned) is that to gain entrance to many of these events you can be searched for drugs, weapons or other contraband such as drug paraphernalia. Given that these parties often take place the morning after a late night of partying, a lot of folks forget that what they were consuming the night before may still be in their possession. Once security searches your bag, wallet or person and finds popular recreational drugs such as ecstasy, cocaine or GHB, you will be handed over to a waiting crew of Las Vegas Metropolitan Police officers and promptly taken to jail, facing felony drug possession charges. This happens daily at pool parties, night clubs and other hot spots in Las Vegas. If this story sounds familiar to you, you need our help.

In addition, other events and conventions held in and around Las Vegas such as: Electric Daisy Carnival, Winston Cup, Busch Grand National Series, National Finals Rodeo, High Rollers Bowling Tournament and the Las Vegas Rugby Challenge, are heavily patrolled by police and security and result in many arrests.

We are highly experienced in defending drug possession charges, and have successfully defended scores of people caught in exactly this same manner. Often times, if you are not from Las Vegas, we can handle your case without you ever having to return to Las Vegas to appear in Court.
