Walking around photos


Back to Vegas. One of the nights in Vegas, we walked from Mandalay Bay to the north. We saw an "in and out burger" that we were really hungry for. I haven't had one of their burgers for 4 or 5 years - the last time I went to SoCal.
Anyway, we were stopped by a freeway which had no access to the other side. We walked a few blocks east, trying to find a bridge, but to no avail. To make a long story short- 14 hours of exploring, way too much walking, blisters, tired, sore, neck was even chaffed from my "sling bag" - I had to carry my camera for 2 days by hand because I couldn't war my bag any more for the pain.
This photo is of one of the parking lots being built for a new casino being built. It was about 12:30 and I liked the lines of the structure in the dark. I never really thought about how many people work in one of those monstrosities. I was told that 6-7,000 people work in a couple of the larger casinos. To put this into perspective, Nintendo of America only has about 1,000 employees across the country. Wow.
