LAS VEGAS – Authorities warn people to avoid a desert area in northeast Las Vegas due to increased violence and crime.

This weekend, avoid congregating in the desert at Lake Mead Blvd and Arnona Rd (otherwise known as The Saddle).
Nighttime violence has increased at this location.
Shootings, robberies, and other crimes have been reported.
