Going down.
Every time I go to Vegas walking the strip is part of the trip. Like it or not.
It would seem to me that on my annual trips the amount of crap along the strip has increased quite a bit.
I have been going regularly since 2004 and in that short period the "Class" of the strip has gone down.
There are too many card clickers, ppl with horrible low budget costumes clogging sidewalks ( especially out front of Bellagio), crispy bums, people selling water, people aggressively "giving" away home made cd's.
I expect this kind of bush league crap on Fremont street but it would be nice if I didn't have to deal with it on the strip.
I didn't see any police presence and I saw 1 staff from Bellagio watching the gong show along the sidewalk in front of the fountains.
ITS SUPPOSED TO BE CLASSY VEGAS!!!
Smarten up. Ship this crap off somewhere else where they can exercise their rights.
