Either that...or next time, take the stairs. It's healthier.

So sad that not one person who walked around that man could be bothered to summon help. It makes me sick to my stomach.

And people blame politicians for being selfish and self serving? If every day people can walk past a dead guy in a casino for six hours there's something very wrong with society.

The man wasn't dead when security finally found him. He might still be alive if someone had summoned help sooner.

They just had a fatal stabbing on their walkway a couple weeks ago, you would think they would be a little more cognizant of the security of their patrons.

Yeah gosh, crazy. The last thing I've ever thought the strip as being is dangerous. Just a fluke really. The truth is the strip is pretty secured. Controlled chaos, but metro is always around the corner.

I think people assume, many times, when they see a body like that, the person is a fallen down drunk.

Me and my ferret, on our late night walks on the Strip, are always stumbling upon an apparent dead body somewhere.

Last nite, there was someone in the bushes along Flamingo, in front of the Bally's hotel, but I always stand there long enough to see the chest rise and fall, then leave!
