Can You Believe These Things Are Still Up?

Billions, and billions, and billions of dollars spent to make The Strip look super high-class and entertaining, yet the proclaimed “Times Square of Las Vegas”, the intersection of The Strip and Flamingo, still looks like an industrial park in Bayonne, New Jersey.
This is freaking ridiculous.
So many good photo opportunities are messed up because of the high voltage power lines running overhead to mega-casinos like Caesars and the Bellagio.
Not to mention it just looks ass-over-nads ugly when you are walking or driving down The Strip.
I remain shocked that they don’t put these things underground.
They don’t want to mess up the aesthetics of The Strip by putting a Monorail up the middle (which would actually be useful) , but these gazillion volt cables that are just one weak link away from snapping and frying 2,000 people to Colonel Sanders’ extra-crispy is perfectly cool?
I don’t get it.
Spend a few bucks and bury these eyesores already.
Who was the genius who said “No, I prefer them way up above ground where everyone can see them!”? Is he the same guy who said “Let’s build the Imperial Palace on a storm channel!”?
