Las Vegas visitors that stray a few blocks off of the beaten path downtown will find themselves in a seemingly endless maze of intriguing mural art. Wandering a block or two away from Fremont Street will present an artist’s canvas of empty motels and old buildings that benefit from modern graphic designs. A downtown mural art tour is interesting from a preservation perspective, because the artist's canvas undergoes perpetual change. While strolling through the maze of downtown graphic art, one never knows how long a mural will be there. The building may disappear altogether or a mural with a new message may be painted over an old one overnight. Since permanence is not really part of the mural motif, the window of opportunity for viewing these works of art is limited to the here and now. The only way to preserve the memory is to photograph a mural while it is still intact. For this reason, be sure to bring a camera along for the stroll, because the opportunity to view fine mural art is always limited!

New!
Destination West YouTube channel! https://www.youtube.com/@DestinationWestOrg *The Destination West website upgrading project is well underway. Unique YouTube slideshows are replacing the outdated Flickr photo galleries. The new videos feature modern graphics and alternative music instrumentals that enhance the viewing experience. Some articles are being condensed, while others are getting much needed edits. As everybody knows, the bulk of the original articles and photos were published on the fly during the Covid camping venture and there were limitations. Upgrading is the way to go and more articles will receive a makeover each week until this project is completed. After that, I will be able to gather new material. There is light at the end of the tunnel!
