On March 17, 2020, the strip in Las Vegas was left without people after orders went out for everyone to stay home because of the pandemic.Having visited Vegas some years earlier, I revisited Las Vegas for a couple of days in early May 2020.The difference was stark. Gone were the people, the noise, the lights, the laughter, the smiles that told you someone won, and the sullen faces that told you the casino won. Instead, the streets were eerily empty and quiet, with empty casinos and hotels lining the strip.Neon signs offering cheap drinks and endless entertainment now flickered dimly, instead flashing 'STAY SAFE AND WE'LL GET THOUUGH THIS TOGETHER'', a stark reminder of the bustling city that once was. The only sounds to be heard were the occasional sirens in the distance.and a heavy sense of emptiness that hung in the air.A few souls walked the streets, some wearing masks, some not. No conversations were overheard, just a quiet solitude that enveloped the once lively streets.It was hot, in the 90's (low 30's C), and the sun beat down relentlessly, intensifying the feeling of desolation. As night fell and the heat dissipated, the emptiness really showed its true extent.With so few people around and little to no police presence, I felt nervous walking around with my camera and tripod. A couple of people approached me, looking for some change or a cigarette. After the first time, I kept the pack in my top pocket to deter any further requests. A few practitioners of the oldest trade approached as well, I declined their services as politely as I could. The lockdown affected everyone.but for those on the streets, it was especially challenging.In this book I have photos showing the usually busy streets, now eerily empty and silent.
