It's a strange world there now. Empty casinos, fountains turned off, a few street construction projects (why not?). It has a science fiction feel to it. So the strip is still attracting visitors. Only now it's mostly residents.

I drove down it today, hoping to be able to park somewhere and take some pictures. But parking is a problem. The garages are blocked off and there are police cars stationed along the strip, lights flashing. I suppose many of us would be parking wherever we could if it weren't for them. It is also relatively safe to walk on the strip. No crowds. Or ride a bike. It is still possible to park in the little parking area next to the Welcome to Las Vegas sign. I saw several cars there, and I saw a small group of people posing in front of the sign. Good time to get that photo if you haven't already. No lines. I think, though, that mostly people parked there so they could take a walk.

| The MGM signs were all over the strip, because MGM owns about half of the casinos. |
It's not a bad destination for locals now. A place to take a walk, watch the ducks and geese invade the pools, ride a bike, contemplate what has become of us.

In other news: it appears that Nevada may be seeing the tip of its curve! I certainly hope so! We have weathered this first month and I know we can do another and another if needed. It's far from over.
