New Year's Celebrations in Las Vegas and Domestic Violence

Many people from around the United States and the world come to Las Vegas to celebrate the New Year.  There are many parties held at the hotels on the Las Vegas Strip and Downtown.  With all of the parties, there is a lot of alcohol and drug use, and this can lead to people getting themselves into bad situations.  During the New Year in Las Vegas, a very common situation is a drunken argument in a hotel room.  These arguments may or may not involve physicality.  Of course, arguments happen between couples in normal relationships, but during the New Year in Las Vegas is a bad place to have an argument.  If an argument starts in a hotel room, it will probably end in an arrest.  Typically, when an argument starts in a hotel room, security will be called by one of the guests in a nearby room.  Clearly, these nearby guests do not want to hear an argument on their vacation.  When security guards arrive at the room, they may be forceful, thuggish, and coercive.  They will make sure the problem is resolved by separating the occupants of the room.  Normally this means escorting one or more of the occupants of the room to the security office and calling the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department to make an arrest.  The hotel guest will sit in the security office for a while, and, when the police arrive, the security guard will give a statement stating what a disgruntled guest said about the argument and what the guard was told by the occupants when he arrived at the room.  These reports may introduce facts into the situation, like physicality, even where there was none perceived by the occupants of the room.
A drunken argument in a hotel room can turn into a nightmare for all of the occupants.  One goes to jail, and the other has to find a way to get him out.  That is just the beginning.  After that, a court proceeding commences, and you need an attorney.

Domestic Holiday Dangers

The holidays are supposed to be a joyous time of year, but we all should be aware that there are dangers inherent with the holiday time.  The holidays are a time for parties with family and friends in which many people enjoy drinking copious amounts of alcohol.  It is normally fun and rewarding to see family and friends that you don't get to see all the time.  This can be an opportune setting for an incident of domestic violence, family and booze.  Especially because some family members inherently just don't get along.  All of these relationships can be considered domestic.  If you get mad at your cousin, or your brother-in-law, because he's a drunkard and being obnoxious and you push him or push him, that is Domestic Battery in Nevada.  Any blood relationships can establish the domestic component.  In-laws are also included in the definition of domestic relationships as well as roommates, so, if you get physical with anyone included in this definition, you run the risk of being charged with Domestic Battery.  This looks exactly the same as getting physical with your wife on a background check, and the penalties are the same.
Everyone should have a Happy Holiday season, but family and friends need to remember there are very serious ramifications to physicality in these situations.  Stay in control, stay level-headed.  Even if your cousin is being a jerk, it's not worth it.
