Fatal hit-and-run
The Nevada Highway Patrol is searching for witnesses to a fatal hit-and-run early Monday morning outside Boulder Station, officials said.
Trooper Jeremie Elliott said an unknown vehicle struck a woman about 3:55 a.m. as she was crossing the 4100 block of Boulder Highway.
The woman was hit in the northbound travel lanes as she was attempting to cross from east to west, Elliott said. The vehicle then fled the scene.
The woman was transported to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center’s trauma unit, where she died several hours later, Elliott said.
NHP has obtained surveillance video of the woman leaving Boulder Station prior to the accident, but the footage does not show any possible suspect vehicles, Elliott said.
Troopers are asking anyone with information to contact NHP at (702) 486-4100. The Clark County Coroner’s Office will identify the victim pending notification of her family.
Boulder Station, which has the look of a traditional western train station, is on Las Vegas' "Boulder Strip," or Boulder Highway, adjacent to Interstate 515/U.S. Highway 95. It offers 300 rooms that were all renovated in 2011, dining options, a 75,000-square-foot casino and a special area just for kids.
The casino provides offers more than 1,400 slots and video poker machines, 33 tables for roulette, blackjack, mini-baccarat, progressive pai gow, craps, and three card poker, a 300-seat sports book, a 452-seat bingo hall, and a poker room offering such games as Omaha, Limit/No Limit Hold’em, or 7-Card Stud.
Surrounding the casino floor is an array of dinning options, with choices ranging from quick eats at the food court to fine steaks at The Broiler to fresh dishes at the Feast Buffet, Cabo and Pasta Cucina.
Guests can head over to the 750-seat Railhead Lounge to listen to blues, jazz, country and rock, to Kixx, a bar featuring free lounge acts and karaoke, or bring the family to catch a flick at the Regal Cinemas.
