Ah, employment.

For those of you who don't know, I now have a job. Or I will very shortly. I went to Club Fortune, and within a few minutes I was offered a job. So that's awesome. They sent me home and told me to come back at hree to go get a drug test. I got there and then they sent me to the drug testing place. And i promptly got myself indescribably lost in downtown vegas. This map shows how I view this "shithole where street names switch like a funhouse".

Alystra: Mourning

I visited The Alystra Site a couple of days ago. Few things remain. scraps of wood painted sky blue. Glass shards. Tile. And a foundation. A foundation that once supported the majestic casino. The space where the building once stood is like a massive grave site. The only remaining structure is the stage that was once within the walls. Beneath it was once a vault. Now it is exposed to open air and filled in with dirt. The marquee still stands, a depressing sight without it's partner. The marquee is now a massive marker, a tombstone for the the fallen Alystra. I walked atop the foundation and tried to imagine what once was. 'Here was the front entrance' I told myself 'And over here was the main gambling hall'. It all started to break down when I tried to continue. At least we have the memories, an a few pretty rectangles of frozen time.

Thanksgiving exploration.

This thanksgiving, I found myself exploring quite a bit. If you remember the Abandoned casino post from a while ago you might find these pictures interesting. I and a couple of friends went into The Alystra last night and I finally got some interior shots of the building. I wasn't happy with those at all so you won't see many. I went back this morning with another friend as the sun was coming up and came out with some beautiful if fuzzy pictures. I also explored some tunnels pretty recently.

MAKE SURE YOU CLICK ON THE PICTURES THEMSELVES. THE COLORS AREN'T GOOD IN THE THUMBNAILS
