Narrative:
Crj went missed approach on runway 25 due to windshear on runway 25 final approach course. The aircraft was not flashed to me on handoff until aircraft was 6 mi west of las VOR; just about to enter the 6000 ft MVA. He initially called himself 'XXX with you.' during that time; the tower launched 2 runway 1 departures; and there were 2 more gars on runway 25. Because aircraft did not identify himself as 'air carrier X;' I did not hear/catch the 'XXX.' air carrier X then called me to advise he was responding to a low altitude alert; turning and climbing. I issued a safe altitude and a turn to avoid a vgt departure that was turning back to the las VOR. I was not given any direction as to what was coordination with the go around aircraft and issued instructions I felt would separate all the IFR aircraft. I had to call and stop departures; again no coordination was effected with me during the chaotic go around activity. Finally get control of the situation and had aircraft xferred to the receiving controller(south). This was a very unsafe situation because of poor procedures; lack of coordination and not following procedures that were in the SOP/LOA and not advising me; the departure controller.

Title: L30 CTLR EXPRESSED CONCERN REGARDING INCIDENT WHEN GAR ACFT WAS NOT XFERRED FROM TWR TO TRACON UNTIL APCHING HIGHER MVA.
Narrative: CRJ WENT MISSED APCH ON RWY 25 DUE TO WINDSHEAR ON RWY 25 FINAL APCH COURSE. THE ACFT WAS NOT FLASHED TO ME ON HDOF UNTIL ACFT WAS 6 MI W OF LAS VOR; JUST ABOUT TO ENTER THE 6000 FT MVA. HE INITIALLY CALLED HIMSELF 'XXX WITH YOU.' DURING THAT TIME; THE TWR LAUNCHED 2 RWY 1 DEPS; AND THERE WERE 2 MORE GARS ON RWY 25. BECAUSE ACFT DID NOT IDENT HIMSELF AS 'ACR X;' I DID NOT HEAR/CATCH THE 'XXX.' ACR X THEN CALLED ME TO ADVISE HE WAS RESPONDING TO A LOW ALT ALERT; TURNING AND CLBING. I ISSUED A SAFE ALT AND A TURN TO AVOID A VGT DEP THAT WAS TURNING BACK TO THE LAS VOR. I WAS NOT GIVEN ANY DIRECTION AS TO WHAT WAS COORD WITH THE GAR ACFT AND ISSUED INSTRUCTIONS I FELT WOULD SEPARATE ALL THE IFR ACFT. I HAD TO CALL AND STOP DEPS; AGAIN NO COORD WAS EFFECTED WITH ME DURING THE CHAOTIC GAR ACTIVITY. FINALLY GET CTL OF THE SITUATION AND HAD ACFT XFERRED TO THE RECEIVING CTLR(S). THIS WAS A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION BECAUSE OF POOR PROCS; LACK OF COORD AND NOT FOLLOWING PROCS THAT WERE IN THE SOP/LOA AND NOT ADVISING ME; THE DEP CTLR.
