Las Vegas hosted two protests against the Trump administration and Elon Musk, with the slogan "Hands Off!" In the Arts District, over 600 people gathered to protest issues like government cutbacks and immigration policies. Lori Krater said, "We had the streets lined all around with all walks of life. From people in wheelchairs, to people walking their dogs and children. It was wonderful to see the support," as told to 8 News Now. Gregory Clark added, "The unprecedented amounts of executive actions by Donald Trump have put so many people out of work and caused so many people trouble and grief. How could you not be out here?"
A mass demonstration took place near the New York-New York Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, targeting both Donald Trump and Elon Musk. Protesters held signs reading, "Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. Las Vegas is fighting back," according to organizers. The event was referred to as a "mass mobilization day," aiming to send a global message, as reported by News 3LV.
Organizers of the Strip protest stated, "We do not consent to the destruction of our government and our economy for the benefit of Trump and his billionaire allies." The event was held as a demonstration against what they described as "chaos" caused by high-level officials. They said their goal was to build an opposition movement against what they called "the looting of our country," as per News 3LV. Both gatherings took place without incident, with Metro police present at the Arts District.
