Las Vegas was once thought recession proof. This time it is different and even the governent agencies and departments are feeling the pinch. Officials say they're cutting the overnight hours that people can post bail at Clark Country jail in Las Vegas. This means people can no longer post bail and be freed from the very busy jail in Las Vegas during the middle of the night. So if you need to post Las Vegas Bail Bonds, you better hope someone at the jail is working.

Las Vegas Justice Court spokesman Michael Sommermeyer calls it a cost-cutting move needed in today's age of reduced budgets. He says that the court's Pretrial Services Division at the Clark County jail will shut down from midnight to 8 a.m. That means friends, relatives and your local Las Vegas bail bondsman won't be able to post bail until the morning. Sommermeyer says statistics show that most bail is posted after 8 a.m.

Information about inmates is still available 24 hours a day on the Clark County government's jail link.
