Phony Vegas showgirls attack pair of tourists on iconic Strip over $20 tip

Two women dressed as showgirls, Jennifer Ortiz and Magdellena Romero, were arrested following a violent altercation with tourists on the Las Vegas Strip on September 30. The dispute allegedly began when the tourists tipped $20 for a photo, which Ortiz claimed was insufficient, demanding up to $180. Surveillance and bystander video show a physical brawl where one victim was struck over 20 times and hit with a high-heeled boot. Ortiz also faces a fraud charge from a separate incident involving an overcharge on a tourist's debit card. Both suspects claimed the tourists initiated the fight.
