On 9/11/01 people spontaneously brought flowers, candles, flags, t-shirts and other memorabilia to New York New York Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas to create a makeshift shrine and tribute to the fallen heroes. A permanent exhibit was installed at the base of the Statue of Liberty at the hotel in 2003. The items people brought are now permanently archived at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas.I guess you just don't think that people at Las Vegas would even think about remembering the fallen; you think they are only wanting to gamble and make it rich.
I wished that I had more time to check out the exhibit beside this tug boat below the Statue of Liberty on the Vegas strip at New York, New York Hotel while I was there, but knowing that it existed showed me that there's more to Vegas than gambling!
