These aren't beautiful pics by any means, but a couple interesting things I saw a couple nights ago walking the Strip.

This is a picture from between the Venetian and the Casino Royale. Can you identify what's missing from this picture? You'd have to be someone that's made this walk a few times to know. The answer will be under the picture so don't look unless you're ready for it.

If your answer is....

....

Porn slappers... you win.

This particular place seems like the most popular spot for porn slappers that I know of. The way the building creeps up on the Strip it creates very little room to get past the porn slappers. I always dislike walking here because they get so close to you with their ad papers.

Two nights in a row I walked this part of the sidewalk and saw no porn slappers. I wonder if Adelson was able to do something about them or if they just were taking the night off. I did see them at other parts of the Strip that night so I'm not sure. I hope they stay away from here and in places where they're a little easier to avoid.

My second picture is the overpass between Caesars and Bellagio:

This was a really annoying thing because they blocked off all the accesses on the Caesars/Bellagio overpass. They said they were working on the overpass and so no pedestrians were allowed. Also they said it'd be another 10 days (now 8 days) before they'd open it back up.

The way you'd have to go is to take the overpass to Bill's Gambling Hall (formerly the Barbary Coast), then go down to the street level, then walk around to the Bally's overpass, and then over the Bellagio overpass. I don't mind walking but when it's 100 degrees outside and you're not expecting it this is a real pain in the arse.

I opted to walk West on Flamingo and cross at the light to the Bellagio North-side valet. Once I got there, however, I noticed that there is no crosswalk! Sure there's a light but that still didn't make me feel too good crossing that many lanes of traffic with cabs flying around everywhere.

I really don't think they should be able to block off the whole overpass. There should be a way they can work on the overpass without doing that.
