I'm a sucker for longform journalism, feature stories that stick themselves into your mind and never let go. And sometimes, I'll share them as part of our #IfYouReadOneThingToday series.
I was lucky to visit Las Vegas a couple of times over the past couple of years. While the work schedule kept me and my team busy for much of the day, every once in a while we'd be able to sneak some time, usually late at night, for a quick walk or visit to the admittedly indescribable world outside.
On our last trip there, a year ago November though it feels like yesterday, we were able to grab a few hours exploring the part of Las Vegas that time seems to have forgotten. We left the strip and got a glimpse of this town the way it used to be.
This article made me wish I could be walking those streets again. Maybe soon. Enjoy the read.
