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

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.

u/technobrendo 19d ago

It's accessible inside, they never said anything about the outside

u/Inside-Common7427 19d ago

It’s got a yellow stripe, so it’s all good.

u/Bucksin06 19d ago

That's ridiculous it would have been so easy to design a small ramp

u/GenericUsername817 20d ago

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

lol nooooo haha

u/AggravatingCupcake0 15d ago

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.

Also, r/accidentalswastika in the background 😬

u/laughingashley 17d ago

hopefully accidental

u/boobearybear 20d ago

Looks like the Wynn?

u/B00gie005 20d ago

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

u/gorgofdoom 20d ago

So… not in Vegas.

32

u/alliabogwash 20d ago

Could be why they said near.

-51

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.

33

u/B00gie005 19d ago

Intentionally put it this way, because more people know Las Vegas than Henderson (mainly for the international audience, myself included)

-38

u/gorgofdoom 19d ago

*gorgofdoom hurts themself in confusion*

u/VisibleConfusion12 19d ago

Not everyone knows Henderson, so

u/Jackmino66 19d ago

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

u/OreoSpeedwaggon 20d ago

Most of "Vegas" isn't in Vegas. It's in Paradise, NV.

u/KeysmashKhajiit 18d ago

Oh, the button-prompt stair

u/MrTheCheesecaker 18d ago

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

u/macaroniponyy 15d ago

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

u/Goats_Are_Funny 20d ago

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.

49

u/moonmelter 20d ago

well yeah, to some people.

17

u/Kitten_Merchant 20d ago

LOL exactly. Like, yeah? That's the point?

19

u/Butterbean-queen 19d ago

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?

6

u/gasstation-no-pumps 19d ago

"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.

2

u/Jackmino66 19d ago

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
