b.u.m.s.
Everyday, people are accosted by the homeless, street musicians, unlicensed costumed characters, dancers, and illegal immigrant food vendors, all asking for your hard earned money.
For as long as the public is aware, these people show up out of nowhere to start their day of begging. Groups consist of The East Las Vegas Hooker Commission, the North Las Vegas B.U.M.S., the Westside League, and the founding group is the League of B.U.M.S. or "Bodies n Unified Movement Sect". Twice a week the League meets at Sunset Park to catch up on all events in Las Vegas and to plan their movements for maximum panhandling. Each person in the league has a duty to perform, sometimes they fight, and sometimes work gets done.
