The new City Center complex includes some weird artwork, including this giant piece outside one of the hotels. I realized as I was standing there the most people under the age of 40 may not even know what this is because they've never used an actual typewriter.
Within the City Center complex they built a mall full of hoity-toity designer stores, which in this economy, doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Included in the mall is this restaurant/tree/flying saucer thing.
Speaking of designer malls that are dying right now, here's a shot from the mall in Palazzo, also full of designer name brand stores, and also lacking in shoppers.
I've never seen the town as empty as it was this week. Traffic on Las Vegas Blvd. is normally wall-to-wall. It could take you over an hour to go from Tropicana to Sahara (about 4 miles). I took this shot from the bridge at Las Vegas and Flamingo looking south. Traffic was moving better than I've ever seen it.
This shot was taking along the lake in front of Bellagio, another area normally full of tourists who are there to watch the fountain show. It got a little busier later in the evening, but still way less than we're used to.
Of course, the Conservatory at Bellagio was decked out in style.
A friendly tourist couple took a photo for us (after we took one of them).
