Las Vegas becoming a Rap-Free Zone?
Las Vegas, Nevada, could become a rap-free zone if officials at the state's Gaming Control Board get their way.
The group managed to halt a recent Snoop Dogg performance in the city after pressuring casino owners to get involved with a new Sin City clean-up campaign.
In February, after a police officer was murdered by a local rapper, the city sheriff's department deemed the banning of rap performances a "legitimate crime-prevention strategy".
The Nevada State Gaming Control Board has now issued a warning to casino operators that rap acts are "serious threats to the community."

This is a racist move. Ok, in respect to the Sherrif and his family, he is no different then anyone else that has been killed or murderedin the linew of duty. There are far more to risk Vegas ranking number for most dangerous place. Corruption has been in that city as far back as Bugsy! Money brings absolut corruption. Why doesnt the gaming board, since they do run the show down there, have each casino step up and pay some extra fee to hire more security to there streets? Extra change can make the extra change. NOT RAP...
