City of Las Vegas poised to hand Badlands case to former Bundy attorney

As the years-long fight over the stalled development of the Badlands golf course drags into the new decade, Las Vegas City Attorney Brad Jerbic has sought the help of one-time Ammon Bundy lawyer Dan Hill’s law firm to defend the city in “all of the currently-pending ‘Badlands’ litigations.”

The Courtyard, a city of Las Vegas shelter for homeless people

Lawsuit threatened over bill adding restrictions to golf course redevelopment

A bill introduced Wednesday by Democratic Sens. Joyce Woodhouse and David Parks would set numerous restrictions and requirements for any golf course owner prior to converting the property to another use. Although Badlands isn’t specifically named in the bill, its hyper-specific language hints that the shuttered Las Vegas golf course would likely be affected by the bill.
