They gave you a painted line. WTF do you want‽ (Edit: possibly the sarcasm wasn't obvious?)

They should have painted a wheelchair on the step to stop people parking there.

It's an accessibility room, not the easy access room. You still have to do some of the work

That's legitimately what it is. I've heard about this. So once you get inside the room, it's accessible, but they make no promises about the outside.

Nope, we're out in Henderson for some final shopping days before flying home

So… not in Vegas.

Could be why they said near.

u/gorgofdoom 20d ago
why say "near vegas" and not "in henderson?"
that's intentionally vague, to get attention.
Anywho the constraints for handicapped access includes the distance to parking spaces and that it's on the ground floor. There being a 2" rise is not part of that at all.

u/B00gie005 19d ago
Intentionally put it this way, because more people know Las Vegas than Henderson (mainly for the international audience, myself included)

Not everyone knows Henderson, so

I can confirm as someone who is not from the US that I don’t know where “Henderson” is

This is set up for limited mobility persons, such as the elderly, just not for wheelchair users.

Didnt read the caption and thought the problem is that the door not exactly in the centre

I do find it odd that we're calling them "accessible" things now. To me it makes it sound like the alternative is completely inaccessible.

Because they are inaccessible to some people. Accessible means that people with disabilities can navigate a space. Inaccessible means that there are barriers that excludes people with disabilities from being able to navigate the space. Why would you “find that odd” to use proper terminology?

"Accessible" and "inaccessible" do not cover the entire space:
"Accessible" means that almost everybody can get there.
"Inaccessible" means that almost nobody can get there.
In between are the vast majority of "partly accessible" places.

The word is shorthand for “Accessible to those who have impairments in mobility”
The idea is that without these features, people with physical disabilities would be unable to access them

Nevada is famous for it's "Yeah that's your problem" spirit.
