The first photo above is the A's stadium construction site on the Strip. The second picture is the paved trail from Summerlin to the Red Rock Scenic Drive entrance on State Route 159. Both started around the same time in June and July.
The stadium is going up on the site of the old Tropicana hotel-casino.
The trail is, well, hard to figure out what exactly is going on there.
I saw both scenes on my 51-mile Big Rectangle bicycle route from my Red Rock area home to the Strip and Downtown Las Vegas and then back up Alta Blvd. and State Route 159 through Red Rock Canyon.
That's Las Vegas in a nutshell.
A building project that helps the Strip gets built lickety split, while a project that helps locals -- like road work -- lasts forever.
Man, if only this area built paved trails in this market with zeal and public enthusiasm as it does with stadiums.
Always keep rolling!
