Watch: Las Vegas Empty Due to Coronavirus

By Wes Styles Mar 31, 2020 | 5:00 AM

Around here it seems so odd when you head out to get the essentials and the once busy places are just shells of their former selves. Imagine what Las Vegas has to be like! A tourist mecca is all but shut down. Hotels closed, casinos closed. What does it look like? Watch the video below

Imagine you arrive in Las Vegas after the Apocalypse and only a handful of people remain. Now see for yourself what Vegas looks like without all the fun, all the people, and all the high energy that has made it so beloved.

This is the unfortunate reality of Las Vegas right now, namely on the famed Las Vegas Strip and Fremont Street. All casinos and resorts have temporarily closed and locals have faced massive layoffs in result. This short film presents a glimpse of a once vital city, now on complete pause while COVID-19 ravages the nation. When will it end? When will Las Vegas return to its full glory? We hope sooner than later.
