Of all the so-called crazy things to ban in Sin City, they just had to set their eyes on the hula-hoops.
No, this doesn’t mean that you can’t hula to your hips’ content in the comfort of your own home. But the city is fighting to ban hula-hooping in the downtown area, also known as the Fremont Street Experience.
According to the city council, hula-hoopers are obstructing traffic and aren’t really providing a pleasant experience to tourists.
Of course, hula-hoopers as well as other street artists are wildly protesting to the idea, stating that it’ll kill their livelihood.
Needless to say, we’re going to side with the street artists in this case. Banning hula-hoops in Vegas is like forbidding New Yorkers to yell “Get the f*ck out of the way!” to slow pedestrians. All the original and crazy things the people see and hear on the street are part of the whole city experience, and no, the council isn’t doing tourists a favor by taking them away.
