you know what else? im an older dude and sometimes i need to rest and ive actually been told almost immediately by the police, that i cant sit down, even after explaining to the officer i just needed a rest, he said i understand but you can’t do that .. YOU CAN’T SIT DOWN TO REST ?? not to mention there’s nowhere to sit anyway so if you need a rest you’re sitting on the ground, this experience led me to not want to go hang out downtown. AND I LIVE HERE. i guess it’s illegal to sit and rest, also i mean it would be nice to just sit and people watch, but yeah, no sitting, apparently thats criminal. man, that is really cool. GO TEAM !
I am wondering how my show will be effected. My WHOLE show is done from my motorized wheelchair, nothing on the ground and i can perform while I am constantly moving!
Any thoughts or ideas on this?
I am a disabled veteran with one leg missing and the other doesnt work- I dont walk, i can not stand unassisted. Some may have seen me in front of the Venetian Resort fountains May June July and August. And I raised quite a stir at the knights victory parade! If you did see me, say hi!!

Suggestion: The new ordinance pertains only to elevated bridges (and an area 20ft in diameter from the bottom of stairs/elevators). You shouldn’t have an issue if you are on the street level.

Thankfully the ACLU of Nevada has sued. Hopefully the ordinance will be reversed by the courts (though it will take time): https://busklv.info/2024/02/19/aclu-is-suing-civil-rights-org-says-pedestrian-flow-zone-ordinance-is-unconstitutional/
