It is time again to highlight MacDonalds from the USA. This one is unique in that it is huge, just like everything else in Las Vegas.
The special feature that I have not seen elsewhere is the signature yellow arc that appears to be one of the arches of the M logo.
It was so huge that it could not fit entirely in my limited mobile camera frame.
I noticed that there are other access points to this outlet to facilitate easy movement of a wheelchair and are disabled-friendly, though I did not explore them fully.
I could have only noticed few man-made things like stadiums, monuments, bridges from the above… Never knew a McDonald’s outlet (huge one) can be also seen from a aeroplane . In the photograph the McDonald building looking very gigantic.
Thanks for sharing such information with us. @TusharSuradkar
Haha! Not in the strictest sense @NandKK nor it is visible prominently.
The arch is so huge that if one knows the map of the city very well, it is quite easy to pinpoint the location of even a smaller place on the ground using major landmarks.
The MacDonalds in this case is located on the bend near the Venetian Bell Tower, if we start tracing it in a straight line from the Bellagio Fountains.
Back home, I could easily locate the area where I lived in Gurugram when flying over the city at night by tracing a busy road called Delhi-Jaipur Highway and its intersection with the MG Road.
Yes, that is a food court but interestingly it is connected to a casino or hotel via bridges, ducts, or underground walkways.
@TravellerG They say in Las Vegas, one may not need to cross a road or walk along a residential block on the footpath.
Just enter one of the hotels or casinos and there are internal walkways connecting one to another,
5 private metro trains also connect one hotel conglomerate to another. The best part is all of the metros are free. Just hop into them and go wherever you want.
Also, in Las Vegas people are completely free to drink anything they want while walking on the road anywhere.
That will give and idea of how the city is physically interconnected and open at heart allowing anyone to roam around literally ‘freely’.
On a street called the Freemont Experience, there are street shows that are exclusively 18+ and I though should not mention this on a public platform, that is the truth.
“… drinking on the road is that a limited amount alcoholic drinks are allowed…”
Yes, heard about this…
My first visit was to Miami International Film Fest in 1999…
Of course, very primitive mobiles and other infrastructures…
And in India, we were moving from ‘PAGER’ to mobile -!
Most of my visits were on professional roles, except a couple of ones with wife and daughter for holidays - we have a very close family friend in Ohio… Visited Niagara and a couple of other places from there only.
Thanks for your interesting comments…you brought out the nostalgic thoughts… Thanks, again…very dear @TusharSuradkar .
What a great share @TusharSuradkar Sir, this is the new thing for me. Never heard about gigantic view of McDonald’s! Las Vegas is indeed a very vibrant and happening place! I have heard a lot about how USA market display themselves when it comes creative and consumer marketing. The basic foundations of display marketing has its roots in big business in USA. They spend a lot in how the store front or store interior should look to grasp consumer attention in one blink of eyes. Thank you for sharing with us your journey and experience. I am actually travelling USA through your post! Best Regards Sir!
