A whole series of incredibly striking, unsettling photos from Las Vegas in late March from photographer @todseelie and journalist @annamerlan: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/14/las-vegas-strip-closed-coronavirus
"The giant resort hotels behind the casinos are walls of black, every hotel room dark." @annamerlan reporting from Las Vegas: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/14/las-vegas-strip-closed-coronavirus
"For a week, people who would have spent the night in the shelter slept instead in a parking lot, directly on the concrete, in neatly taped-off rows. Behind them, the strip shimmered, the walls of empty hotel rooms safely encased in glass." @annamerlan: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/apr/14/las-vegas-strip-closed-coronavirus

. @annamerlan on the story behind the photo:
A night shelter temporarily had to close on March 25, after an employee + a guest tested positive for the virus. For a week, people who would have spent the night in the shelter slept instead in a parking lot.
