Cities are being locked down. People are stuck at home, and the world is on pins and needles as we await what could be the longest lock down in United States history. Videos and images of cities being shut down are circulating the internet. But none more eerie than USA’s party and entertainment capitol Las Vegas where Vegas is officially closed.

Absolutely eerie. St. Patrick’s day is one of the America’s big celebration days of the year and especially in Las Vegas. Instead we have a scene that looks like it is out of a movie. I mean look at these images of Vegas:
BARE STRIP: One of the most popular and busy streets in the world is more quiet. Several casinos along the Las Vegas Strip closed Tuesday in an effort to help keep COVID-19 from spreading. This is something we're not used to seeing: pic.twitter.com/ihjzujiDUy
