Police: 1 blackjack dealer stabs another in Vegas

LAS VEGAS A fight between two female blackjack dealers at a Las Vegas Strip resort sent one to the hospital and the other to jail.

KSNV-TV reports 50-year-old Brenda Wilson is accused of stabbing the other dealer Friday night in a blackjack pit at the Bellagio hotel-casino.

The incident comes a week after an Illinois man shot and fatally wounded an ex-girlfriend in the hotel lobby at the Excalibur resort on the Strip, then killed himself there.

Wilson was booked into jail on charges of battery with a deadly weapon and mayhem with substantial bodily harm.

Authorities say the victim, whose name wasn't immediately released, was taken to the hospital with deep facial cuts. Her condition was unknown.

Police couldn't confirm whether the two dealers were working at the time.

Its only because he said "Hit me."

Being that this is the second reported incident in the past two weeks, it's obvious that the "tight security" we always hear about in Las Vegas casinos needs to be reevaluated. It's also become painfully obvious that there are an unknown number of people who are living and working in our communities who suffer from some form of mental illness and are capable of inflicting bodily harm and/or death.

In an ideal NRA universe, they both would have been armed with Bushmasters, as would the bystanders.

They'd all still be shooting it out, with the bodies piling up on the floor and the blood running down the streets.

Then the NRA would go on TV and tell us we needed more guns.

It is past the time for sringent knife control regulations and registrations. Or could it be it is not the knives fault, just persons using their knives in an improper manner?

The victim isn't dead, right?
