Takes me back to my Chicago days.
Were they elderly? There were always stories about older people without their air on for one reason or another. Sad.

elderly and homeless...

it's sort of sad- i worked downtown for 3 years and there were lots of homeless people... and you would see the same ones every day... but every year in july, you'd stop seeing them... and you'd never see them again... then a few months later you'd see a whole bunch of new ones... and you'd see them every day until the next july... then THEY'D disappear... and so on...

i'd like to think they got jobs and went somewhere else

Surprisingly, I see less homeless here than I saw when I lived in colder climates, but that might be because I'm not downtown all that much.
But I'm guessing that Vegas attracts homeless from all over, and that there are relief agencies with that in mind.
