That’s the high-rent end of the Strip, too. Outside Encore, if I read the address right. ---

@Bullitt: I lived in LV for 15 years. Saw some shit. A few years ago we had a crewmember attacked by knife midafternoon on one of the Strip’s many pedestrian overpasses. An apparently homeless dude begging suddenly went berserk & did a lot of damage to a large, fit, 40-yo former military man. Whackjobs gonna be wacky; it’s what they do. ---
