A Homeless Journey: Vegas Snap Shots
The City with the most hotels in the world has no place to sleep for thousands of homeless citizens. 19 of the 21 largest hotels in the world are on the Las Vegas Strip. Many are shown in this slideshow video. There are more empty hotel rooms, condos and foreclosed homes through the course of a year than there are the 50,000 yearly homeless citizens in Las Vegas, Nevada. Las Vegas has over 160,000 hotel rooms and growing. That does not count the smaller properties, motels, condominiums, vacant and foreclosed homes, properties under construction, available space for shelters, vacant shelter beds or any other of a number of places where the homeless could sleep and be out of the exposed, harsh elements.
“There ain’t no rest for the broken heart"--Steve Earle More Than I Can Do
Am I advocating that the homeless should be given these units to sleep? No, I'm illustrating the massive greed and the lack of humanity for fellow humans, many combat soldiers, senior citizens, women and children, the sick and the lame. Las Vegas is a city without compassion. The hotels and condos shown in this video belong to those who could contribute to ending homelessness. They belong to the very ones that most often contribute to causing homelessness in Las Vegas.
