Good grief Walt, helicopters go between buildings, so do power lines.
If they were above the hotels they'd be flying above the Strip. Are
you saying nothing is allowed to fly above the strip? That's
ridiculous. The helicopters were flying *down* the Strip.
With a Flamingo on the left, a Caesars on the right and power lines on
super tall towers in-between. Why else would they go to the time,
trouble and expense of tearing those 150 foot tall monsters down ONLY
on the Strip? Try implementing a little logic once in a while.

Not in Las Vegas Don,

Nope. You're the only one. Ace* was just hallucinating after one of his
drug induced trips.

Everyone else knows that tourist helicopters NEVER flew above the Las
Vegas Strip.

Ronald Emerson,

Bring Foxie and they will let her fly the copter right down the Strip
and land on the top of the Stratosphere before continuing on to land at
the Freemont St experience. Heck, if a dog can type on a computer, she
can fly a helicopter.

Woof!

one reason is sight lines -- those lines were UGly..

the other and far more important factor is Harrah's World --- or
whatever they're calling it these days, were they knock Bills to the
ground and do whatever to Flamingo and take over that whole side of the
strip and make it into something like City Center. I seen artwork of a
spectacular archway or pedestrian overpass type thingie that bridged
over Flamingo and monster building to the left as you look east down
Flamingo.

Yes -- I know we need more room capacity here. that's why they're
doubling the size of McCarran while the airlines are cutting flights.

dah.
