I think it was 2002 or 2003 and the security was over the top. There were portable gun towers every 100 yards or so all up and down the strip. "Gunship" choppers flying overhead too. Many of the casinos wouldn't let you in the door unless you were staying there. Those that would let you in were not allowing backpacks in the building and body cavity searches seemed to be in full force. The street was closed down except for a single lane on both sides so the center lanes could be used for the sharp shooters, cops, and EMS.

It sucked.

However, my Wife has never been on the Strip for New Years so I'm considering taking her there tonight. Have any of you done this in the last few years? If so, have they lightened up at all or is it still treated like the old Berlin Wall?
