Here's a nice picture of the Fremont Street Experience in downtown Las Vegas.



They usually turn off the neon casino lights for the light show. There are several shows a night, all different, and they change them up once in awhile. There is a lot of motion involved, set to music, and one of my favorites is fighter jets moving across the canopy from one end of the street to the other.

We like to go there and watch the people who wander over from the nearby bus station, just got into town for the first time, with that look of hope and starting a new life on their face. It's a sad sight because you just know that town is going to eat them up and spit them out.

One morning I was waiting outside for my husband to check out of the hotel and bring the car around, and I watched a drug addict woman trying to panhandle cash from passersby. It was a sorry sight, and I was worried she'd make her way over to me.
