I’ve just returned from one of the most accessible cities in the country for the “handicapable”. Las Vegas, particularly the areas around the big hotels/casinos cater to those of us with a chronic challenge or two. I visited my sister who had a wonderful “master plan” full of activities that she fit within the four days I was there. Parking, walking and building access is so good; I could almost go the distance on my own. Stepping out of the car, the valet was ever present to provide assistance. Also, hotels loan wheelchairs, also provided near the entrance to a hotel. To maneuver through crowded casinos, the wheelchair was the right choice. Shops and restaurants also are accessible with wide aisles, wheelchair accessibility and caring staff. We went to a steak place in the Cesar’s Palace Forum shops and sat outside the restaurant so we could still have visibility into the mall. Accessible restrooms can be found throughout Las Vegas and not an after thought as in many of the places I have traveled. Everyone is so accommodating it’s almost as if the planners made a conscious effort to cater to all customers, especially those who needed a little more assistance. Of course, tips are welcome.
