"Las Vegas Strip Implements Ban on Standing and Stopping on Pedestrian Bridges"

A new ordinance in Las Vegas prohibits standing or stopping on pedestrian bridges along the Strip, with violators facing potential jail time or fines. The measure aims to ensure a continuous flow of pedestrian traffic and increase public safety, but critics argue that it infringes on First Amendment rights in public spaces. The county plans to install signs identifying locations where stopping or standing is prohibited.

Vegas Residents Remove Film Blocking F1 Race View

Residents of Las Vegas are frustrated with the construction of the Formula 1 track and its related infrastructure, and now they are tearing down view-blocking film placed on pedestrian bridges that cross over a portion of the race course. The film, similar to what's used on vehicle wraps, has been placed on glass plates along the bridges, hindering public viewing of the race. While some residents are annoyed about not being able to take tourist photos with the Sphere in the background, others doubt the long-term benefits of hosting the race. Las Vegas Police requested the film to be placed on the bridges, but no official response has been given regarding the reasoning behind it.

Las Vegas Grand Prix: Construction Progress and Sphere Views Hindered

Pedestrian bridges on the Las Vegas Strip, which were covered with film to block the view of the upcoming Formula One race, are being vandalized. Tourists and locals have expressed frustration over the obstruction, questioning why the iconic boulevard needs to be blocked for the event. Clark County officials claim it is for safety reasons, as they do not want pedestrians to stop on the overpass and potentially cause congestion. Measures will also be taken to prevent objects from being thrown onto the race track. The responsibility for fixing the peeled-off film remains unclear.
