Las Vegas is a ghost town where the strippers put up signs 'Sorry, we're clothed'

It’s America’s gaudiest playground, where crowds mill around the world-famous neon ‘Welcome To Fabulous Las Vegas’ sign, jostling for selfies as the notorious Strip bustles with tourists seeking the buzz of debauchery.

Sin City has a well-earned reputation for offering every kind of thrill 24 hours a day – from high-stakes poker tournaments, slots and roulette wheels in the casinos to the strip joints, showbiz glitz and all-night bars.

Fortunes can be so easily made – or lost – in an instant.

But today, in the shadow of Covid-19, Las Vegas is on its own losing streak.

For while few places have been left unaffected by the pandemic, perhaps nowhere has had its devil-may-care attitude rocked as much as this narrow pocket of Nevada.

Casinos, hotels and shows which last year generated $60 billion (£48 billion) in tourist revenue are either almost empty or shuttered.

The entertainment mecca of the Strip, which attracted 49.5 million people in 2019 from around the world – including half a million from the UK – is neglected and deserted.

A 150ft-tall replica of the Statue of Liberty is wearing a face mask, while no one is clamouring for a selfie by the flashing neon signs.

When will rational folks finally say “enough of this nonsense “? The doomsdayers want this this go on * forever *. I myself recently received a positive antibody test yet the freaks claim I’m still vulnerable due to different strands. In effect they dont even believe a vaccine will work. They want masks and restaurant closures permanently.

My symptoms that prompted me to get the test (out of curiosity)? Last December 30 I woke up in the middle of the night puking. That was it. I usually get the flu once a yr. and believe me I’d rather have covid19.

Send there are many that are prepared to watch the worlds' economies go down the crapper.
 
I am glad that I had a glorious trip there 11 years ago when it was humming.

There is no point now.... not Vegas, not Disney....they are dead to me for the forseeable future....without fun they are nothing.

The most amazing thing ... the architecture. If you enjoy 'Design', Las Vegas is a Feast.
Even the Bus Stops show an element of thought, not just towards function, but of beauty.
The landscaping on the freeways is a delight. Metal images of desert life, wild horses, snakes, ... red and cream rocks and dirt from the surrounding Red Rock Canyon.

Here's something most people don't know about Las Vegas, the Desert Town:

Is that real or artificial snow?
 
Like water?


"Lake Las Vegas is a 320 acre, 2.5 mile long, 90 ft deep (at its deepest spot), man-made lake located in Henderson, Nevada, in close proximity to the Las Vegas Strip and Lake Mead. This emerald blue lake is nestled amidst majestic mountains and pastel landscapes and is surrounded by elegant homes, beautifully manicured golf courses and five-star resorts."
