 |  |  | Abandoned Right On The Strip...
< on 7/23/2006 5:58 AM >
|  | | | Hey all im back from Vegas!
I have a few things to share too!
First off i DID pass by that abandoned water park on the way up the 15
Im still editing all the pictures from my trip, but ill have those up soon.
Secondly on our way to the Stratosphere we passed by some kind of abandoned structures, im guessing it was a skate park or some kind of old bathrooms and a couple empty pools..
This was RIGHT ON the strip, right close to the stratosphere.
As you can see there are quite a few buildings back there to check out.
I would have but:
1) I was on vacation
2) We had limited time in Vegas and we had to cover as much ground as possible
I brought a friend who had neve been and wanted to see EVERYTHING!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I looked pretty closely and it seems that someone who is able bodied and quick
could get over the fence and check things out. I saw NO security of any kind around.

| | | | From what I have seen on TV they like to implode buildings in vegas. Being in one at the time exploring would SUCK!!!!!!!!!!
But that was probably not the case here.

If you ever fall off the Sears Tower, just go real limp, because maybe you'll look like a dummy and people will try to catch you because, hey, free dummy |

| | | | Oh im sure if they were going to do that people would be all over the place roping things off and making sure no one gets close enough to get hurt.
From the looks of this place, its been there for a while..
This place is at the end of the strip...so im guessing not many people go over by there....

| | | | Not that i know of...as i said we had little time to cover all the ground we needed to see, so this is the only thing i saw IN Vegas.
I did however take pictures of abandoned houses and other structures on the way there and back.

| | | | Factor --
Without knowing too much but Vegas public works, this is only conjecture...
However, I'm guessin' that Vegas has extensive drains / flood control networks. I'd stay away from those unless there was absolutely zero chance of rain, as Vegas is prone to crazy flash floods. And it's also home to some of the most sophisticated video surveillance systems ever conceived.
But that just makes it more of a challenge.

| | | | That old water park is right next to the Sahara casino, and right across from the Hilton extended stay suites.

|  | | | With the unfinished buildings and tower cranes in the backdrop, it sort of looks like a designated war coverage shot.

| | | | That would be the WetnWild, I remember walking past it and me and my buddy got into a shouting match with some goof inside the place.
Looks like they announced their closing in 04, it was only open for twenty years.
That part of the strip isn't exactly prime property, although the Sahara is my favourite low key hotel. I never cared for the atmosphere by the newer hotels, makes me feel like I'm in an amusement park.
I got your tour winner right here pussies, at least he'd crash out trying. |

| | | | I love the Sahara. We spend an aweful lot of time in there when we visit Vegas. Theres something about the atmosphere that says OLD STYLE VEGAS! I love all the old fixtures and shiny gaudy stuff they have in there. Oh, i also have great luck on Keno at the Sahara as well

| | | | Ok Garg, because I know we all want to know, which one (if any) of the three in the picture are you?
Or is that part of the mystique of Garg?
...I'm the guy climbing out of a mine adit in a polo shirt and a hardware store hard hat on with a petzel headlamp drilled into it.

| | | | haha WOW...
nope sorry, i dont pay for anything...its all free..
Photographers call ME asking if they can do a shoot with me, not the other way around.
The two girls in the picture are good friends of mine that happen to already do styles and make-up
The one in the green MAKES her own clothing and goes to the san diego art institute.
In exchange for me modeling her clothing line, she helps me with clothing for shoots.
Ask Clegg, he knows my pictures are on myspace
