Contributions from the Southern Nevada gaming, tourism and entertainment industry accounted for almost 40 percent of the $31.4 million collected by the Las Vegas Victims’ Fund, organizers of the fund said Friday.
The fund’s committee reveals donation total and says it will distribute the money to at least 532 claimants by the end of the month. Some other claims are still going through the vetting process.
The Las Vegas Victims’ Fund is slated to begin distributing payments to eligible victims Monday, according to the original plan, but fund officials have not yet said how much money has been collected.
