Stations casinos is gearing up to open up its newest resort – Aliante Station. Stations says new hotel-casino resort is scheduled to open to the public at 11:11 on Nov. 11.

Situated at 215 and Aliante Parkway, the resort has more than 200 hotel rooms, a half dozen restaurants, and a food court. It also comes complete with a 16 screen movie theater.

Red Rock Resort was the last Station casino to open back in 2006.

A gunman is on the run after opening fire in North Las Vegas. Authorities say one person was shot just before 11 p.m. Tuesday night near Carey and Belmont.

Police believe there could be other victims.

The victim was taking to the hospital with non life threatening injuries.

It's been nearly a year since the disappearance of Opal Parsons and police are still no closer to finding out exactly what happened to her.

Saturday, friends and family members gathered to remember the woman who touched the lives of many. The 81-year-old vanished from her Northeast Las Vegas home. She left her car, and took only her purse. The community quickly joined together, hoping to find Opal, but the trail went cold, leaving more questions than answers.

Carol Holt, Opal's daughter, says her family is more clueless now than the day she disappeared. They have exhausted all the leads and talked to people who may have known something, but still came up with nothing.

The Parsons family is very thankful for the efforts made by police detectives and everyone who helped search for their mother. The family is also supporting the Silver Alert Legislation. The alert would work similar to the Amber Alert for missing children, but this would help people searching quickly for missing seniors.

Four fires in vacant buildings in just one month – all along the same street in North Las Vegas. Investigators are trying to determine whether they were all started by the same person.

All of them along 5th Street in North Las Vegas, only blocks apart from each other. The latest happened Thursday in a vacant apartment complex near 5th and Lake Mead. Over 40 firefighters were called out in the heat of mid-day to put out the flames.

We learned that the vacant homes have been slated for demolition for months now, so what's the hold up?

The street is all part of the new 5th Street Project funded by the RTC, and they will be set for demolition. But the city of North Las Vegas says they can't hurry up the process until each of these homes is checked thoroughly – and there's a lot of them.

Four buildings, four different fires — all arson.

“Today, arson related fires in the past two weeks alone have been along 5th Street area,” said Kevin Brame of North Las Vegas Fire.

A man was caught Friday morning in an abandoned home on 5th Street in north Las Vegas.

“He was found inside a building that was supposed to be vacated and secured. He was found inside that building sleeping,” said Brame.

There are dozens of boarded up homes on 5th Street. All them have been sitting there for years now — some of them scarred by recent fires started by vandals and squatters.

“We obviously know they're breaking into the places, vandalizing and setting them on fire,” said Brame.

They are all owned by the City of North Las Vegas who says they will be demolitioned to make way for the new 5th Street Project. But they've been standing for five years since the project got approved.

“As you know, most of those homes are 50-years plus old. They have asbestos problems,” said Quiong Liu, North L.V. Dir. of Public Works.

Liu said each home has to be checked for hazardous waste, then it has to be properly disposed of before any of the homes go down.

“Once we go through that 3-step process, then these houses will no longer be standing,” said Liu.

She says they don't want to speed up the process for the safety of the neighbors. But Fire Chief Kevin Brame and the neighbors here just want to see fires come to an end.

“We all would, the community as a whole like to see them down as soon as possible. But also done in a safe manner,” said Brame.

Public works said that they have 19 more homes to check. They have to hire a contractor to demolition the homes. That means it could be just under three months before all buildings are brought down.

North Las Vegas firefighters say a 4-alarm blaze that badly damaged a row of offices and prompted the evacuation of the Speedway Casino and Ramada Inn was accidental.

Deputy Fire Chief Kevin Brame says Tuesday that an electrical malfunction in the attic sparked the fire that badly damaged a row of former motel rooms-turned-offices near Interstate 15 and Cheyenne Avenue.

About 35 people who were in the offices were evacuated and no injuries were reported after the fire about 3:30 p.m. Monday.

It took 100 firefighters from North Las Vegas, Clark County and Las Vegas about 3 hours to quell flames.

The fire left about half of the second floor gutted.

The building isn't connected to the casino and motel, and Brame says there wasn't any damage to either of those facilities.

Arson is suspected in three abandoned house fires in North Las Vegas near 5th Street and Lake Mead. The fires broke out one after another in just a matter of hours.

Residents say the block of empty homes is a haven for the homeless. Now they say these fires are causing them even greater concern.

Jessie Williams has lived in the North Las Vegas neighborhood for nearly 40 years. The neighborhood once thrived, but now looks more like a ghost town with many abandoned homes — homes that are now going up in flames.

“They are fixing to build a freeway in the area there, so people are basically selling their homes. They're buying them out so they can go ahead and put a freeway there,” said Williams.

Skywitness 8 was in the air as fire fighters worked to put out the early morning fire — before the structure collapsed. Just a few hours earlier, two other abandoned homes in the area went up in flames.

“I am concerned. We have a house here and have been here for years. It is a problem,” said Williams.

Williams says he loves his neighborhood, and blames the fires on homeless people who frequent this area, “We got a lot of homeless people that are around here and if they see an opportunity where they can lay down or rest, they're going to do it.”

North Las Vegas Fire Captain Cedric Williams says people living in the area can help prevent these fires, “We want the neighborhood to kind of be aware of their community. If they do find that there's someone suspicious hanging around, especially in abandon structures.”

Jessie says exactly what he do, if it means protecting what's left of his neighborhood. North Las Vegas Fire Department says eyewitnesses saw three males fleeing the scene of one of the fires.
