Metro Police open kiosk on the Las Vegas Strip to bolster visitor relations
Metro Police today unveiled a first-of-its-kind public safety kiosk on the Las Vegas Strip to bolster relations with visitors as tourism rebounds, even amid the lingering coronavirus pandemic.
Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo, Metro Capt. Dori Koren and dozens of officers and volunteers were on hand to unveil the 570-square-foot community center at a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Lombardo said he hopes the kiosk, which is staffed and operational, is the first among others along the Strip, though there are no immediate plans for more. The idea came from similar kiosks in tourist destinations like New York City, he said.
Land for the kiosk, just north of Resorts World Las Vegas, was allotted to Metro during development of the the north Strip casino, which opened June 24.
