I've been told that the Lethbridge Police Service usually only has two cars out at night (after midnight). You can usually find one of them in the parking lot outside of Mac's on the westside (at least 5 years ago when I lived on the westside I'd see it sitting there quite regularily).
As for what to do with the neighbours. Send them a Christmas card. Smother them with kindness, then politely tell them that their late night antics disturb your sleep. If that doesn't do a thing to help... its war! Obviously if they are making all sorts of noises in the middle of the night, they sleep at day. Just do the same during the day. As far as I know there is no noise bylaw in Lethbridge during the day (except for noise coming from a car) so just make all sorts of noises that would wake up your neighbours during the daytime.
As for their yard, it doesn't take much for the city to do anything. I'm surprised your complaints have gone unanswered. I phoned to complain about my neighbours grass a couple of years ago. They didn't cut the grass at all one year and it was super long, so long that it was laying down because it couldn't stand up. There was snakes living in their grass and coming into my yard. Unfortunately for me, snakes is a phobia of mine and I just couldn't stand going into my yard. I used an entire box of moth-balls along the fence between our two yards and that kept the snakes out, but for peace of mind I called the city to complain. Two days later the city came and cut the grass for them (and when they do that the home owner usually gets a fine).
