RiseUp4ALL Damn, can't you all put them in one of those empty hotels?

They are human beings for God's sake! They deserve better conditions for lodging.

Meanwhile thousands of hotel beds and showers sit empty and unused . Good job, Las Vegas.

sad thing is there should never be anyone homeless

Forced as in being round up? Wasnt aware it was a requirement to sleep there. I do believe they have free will. And since shelters are full they are well within their right to sleep anywhere they please.

All those empty rooms on the strip going to waste.

Really? In the open without even a tent on top of them? Not good.

I like this.

If only they'd spent the money for paint on cots or a tent.

Provide them fucking housing Las Vegas! Stupids

Put them in the empty hotel rooms already, sheesh!

all those casinos sitting empty..shame

There isn’t an empty hotel or convention center they could have been placed in, really?
