I once came across the concept of a "working vacation" when I was young, and it’s stuck with me ever since. The idea was simple yet impactful: you’d pay around $2000—quite affordable compared to the typical costs of room, board, and touring. This fee covered everything from meals to transportation, and even included guided tours of the area. But what made it truly unique was the exchange: instead of just being a tourist, you’d spend part of your time volunteering at a sanctuary, perhaps bottle-feeding baby lions, cleaning enclosures (when the animals weren’t in them), painting barns, and more. Imagine how something like this could benefit West Virginia. The state, rich in natural beauty and wildlife, could offer similar experiences—perhaps at animal sanctuaries, conservation areas, or even historical farms. By creating these immersive "working vacations," West Virginia could attract visitors eager for more than just a typical getaway. They’d be contributing to local conservation efforts, learning new skills, and forming connections with both the land and the community. Not only would this bring in tourism dollars, but it could also foster a deeper appreciation for the state’s natural resources and cultural heritage. Volunteers would leave with memories and a sense of accomplishment, while West Virginia would benefit from the added hands-on help and the positive exposure. Is it possible? Absolutely. With the right planning and partnerships, West Virginia could tap into a growing trend of experiential travel, offering visitors a chance to make a difference while enjoying an unforgettable vacation. #SustainableTourism #WestVirginia #ExperientialTravel #Conservation

This is a video that I created 9 years ago for the then newly renovated Tropicana casino resort in Las Vegas. The very same one that is being shut down tomorrow, later to be demolished to make way for a baseball park. I have nothing against baseball, which is a game that I like. And I am happy that the A's baseball team is making Las Vegas their home. But the ballpark has no place on the Las Vegas strip. We should not be destroying what little we have left of Las Vegas history, and our once worldwide and world-famous greatness. Instead of the unique identity that Las Vegas once had, we are now becoming just a western copy of New York City. I have nothing against New York, or New York City, but Las Vegas used to be unique, not just in the United States, but across the globe. So I am very sad that we are still destroying it. Anyway, here is a trip down memory lane from 9 years ago, and a memory of the Tropicana Casino resort in Las Vegas, which sadly will cease to exist tomorrow, April 2, 2024. But at least we have this memory from its recent history. https://lnkd.in/g5wv4jPz #Tropicana #Casino #Resort #Farewell #RIP #Memory #Happy #History
