Title: Take a trip from your couch during lockdown. Check it out.
Post by: alrelax on April 11, 2020, 06:47:25 AM
I highly recommend the following links.  Take a trip without leaving your your living room, the confines of your home or wherever you're lockdown at!

Get a cup of coffee or a beer, whatever floats your boat and remove yourself from the confines.

Excellent New York City website totally free to use the 23 different sections, click on the left side, visit website button in yellow, after it loads.  Excellent time killer.

Simply fantastic is the only way to explain the link that I posted for my members of below!

"Bring the home of Louis XIV into yours as you tour the Hall of Mirrors, the Royal Opera and royal residences at the Palace of Versailles outside Paris."

Another fantastic site, free of charge, sit back, forget about everything going on and it is better than TV in my opinion!

"Due to strict security measures, it took months of paperwork and pleading with Indian authorities for photographers affiliated with AirPano, a Moscow-based photography group, to gain access and capture these aerial images of the Taj Mahal."

VEGAS STRIP.  Actually, history as to the emptiness of it.

For those of you that have never been to Vegas, here is what the strip looks like in todays unprecedented times.  He starts near the Stratosphere where he's starting from is just North of the Wynn on the east side and north of Treasure Island which is on the west side, kind of the North End of the strip well before downtown and then he travels on his bicycle going south just passed Planet Hollywood on the east side of the strip and it would be just north of the Tropicana and well north of Mandalay Bay, which would be considered the southern end of the strip.  This will give you an idea of what it looks like with nobody on the sidewalks and the lightest traffic I have ever seen in the street.

About the property where the Stardust used to be, that they have been building for like 10 years and now finally it is going to be Resort World and you know what?  With this downturn in Vegas and the strip being closed, it is not going to be a positive thing but here is a great history on it that property.

Here's a review about the link:

"I have lived in Vegas for 35 years.  I know the history of just about everything and anything to do with Vegas.  This is a brilliantly put together history of the Stardust.  Most of the pictures were relevant to what was being said.  The information was detailed and correct.  When I started watching I said to myself, "I wonder if they will mention the race track?"  This is better than 99% of the documentaries produced by major players, on many levels.  Nice Work."
