Rescues Las Vegas drunk (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

salvages

'rescues' is the definition.
(salvage is a kind of rescue)

'las vegas drunk' is the wordplay.
'drunk' indicates an anagram.
'las'+'vegas'='lasvegas'
'lasvegas' with letters rearranged gives 'SALVAGES'.

(Other definitions for salvages that I've seen before include "Rescues" , "dry Eliot piece" , "Saves discarded material" , "Saves from fire in Las Vegas" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
