DON'T DO THIS ON THE VEGAS STRIP!

A controversial new law makes it a crime to stop or even stand at certain places on the Strip. If you do, you could face heavy fines or jail time.

This new law will be a big moneymaker with all the Super Bowl foot traffic. And putting it into action just weeks before the game wasn't coincidental. Not good PR, but good for the city's pocketbook.

I also think the city and maybe even the casinos are trying to hide away people they'd rather not have populating those bridges--people they deem to be not good for business, if you know what I mean.

I think it's more grist for the jail mill. In squares, plazas, and piazzas across the world we find panhandlers, musicians, juggles, and artists—all part of the colorful social landscape we've come to love and appreciate. This draconian law is one more attempt to purify our landscape of "elements" that some elitists have deemed unbefitting to a great American city. This law is, how shall I say, pure BS.
