Post the video of the incident and we’ll tell you if you need a lawyer or not

The longer this goes the less likely the DA assigned to your case cares about it. But at some point his list of cases will show he has this one out there and then he or she will be ready to make it go away.
Timing is everything.
Option 1- send the DA assigned to your case an email with the Case Info (caption on the legal docs) and Case No in the subject matter.
Nice friendly email- that you would like to find a way to reach a resolution. Don't make any promises. Don't make any suggestions. Just a hey, here I am- I would like to find a resolution. Give him your cell number (I'm assuming he already has that- if he doesn't then just your email address for now) and ask him to call you or email you when its most convenient for him/her and that you look forward to hearing from him/her. Keep it short and simple.
Wait and see what he/she says. If no response after a week- follow up.
Let the DA do the talking or the communication via email- let him suggest something- let him go through his whole dialog. Keep it respectful and always thank him for his time and that you need some time to consider/respond.
Based on his communications you will know if he is level headed and you can work something out or he's out for you arse and you need to hire an attorney.
Do not under any circumstances discuss or put in writing any detail of the "incident." You are only reaching out to him to get him to speak to you. No matter what he may say or write which may cause you to feel like you need to defend yourself or correct him- say nothing.
Don't screw this up.
Option 2 pay for an attorney to call this DA and get it handled for you.
Option 3 play the long game and let him/her keep delaying it. Buys you time to made decisions about option 1 or 2 above.
Bottom line is he really doesn't want to issue subpoenas to all witnesses to try this stupid case.
Edit to include- that any and all communications between you and the DA can and will be used against you in a court of law. So just know the Judge could see all communications.

Why the frick would you not pay an attorney a paltry amount of money for him or her to very likely get the charges dismissed outright. Good luck with that. I'm sure you'll do great pro se.

In an effort to assist getting the communication going I've taken the liberty to forward this topic to
DAInfo@ClarkCountyDA . com
With a description of the kind of person goldennugget is to help him to coming to a fair and just decision on how to proceed.

get yourself a lawyer, dummy. Probably one phone call from a lawyer to the DA will get all this thrown out. Or maybe you even have a case against the ca$ino.

I've never been in this position before. Outside of a couple speeding tickets I've never been in any kind of legal trouble in my life. I don't know much about law or how the court system works.
Dude, for the love of god stop being a fricking dumbass and hire an attorney.
You really do warrant the amount of shite you get on the site.

If you can afford one hire an attorney. If nothing else they can ensure your stress level is proper for the situation.
Handling any criminal charge yourself is pretty much stupid, I wouldn't and I have been in practice for quite a long time.

Are you still afraid of Mexicans outside the garage?

Try to find a criminal defense attorney who also does personal injury work. See if he will do both cases.
Since you were knocked out it would have been better to have gone to the hospital so that you could have documented your injuries.

Hire an attorney and tell him you don’t want anything that you have to explain on the very job application you fill out.
Getting this dropped will change your life. Small price to pay to hire an attorney.

Just out of curiosity, why would this be the case? Seems like that probably happens fairly often?

Ask for a dismissal, your lawyer would have...

Public defender an option here? They have the best relationships with the district attorneys.
