I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'recovers' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their -s form.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'wreck in las vegas?' is the wordplay.
'las vegas' can be anagrammed to 'SALVAGES'.
However, I am not sure how this is indicated.

'from' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

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