VIDEO: The string of recent fires at vacant buildings has raised a lot of questions, especially about what’s next for those buildings after they’ve been destroyed by the flames.
In the past weeks and even days, a number of vacant buildings went up in flames, including the Cabana Suites, which crews were out tearing down on Monday.
8 News Now reached out to the city of Las Vegas and was told that it was up to the owners.
For years, the Cabana Suites was a place that many enjoyed seeing.
“I am out here getting all the graffiti in Las Vegas,” said photographer Max Barksdale, “This is art. This is beautiful, man.”
Barksdale drove from Oklahoma to take pictures of the art in the area, including the Cabana Suites, which has been leveled. “I was making sure I knew addresses before I even hit Vegas,” Barksdale told 8 News Now, “The fact they are tearing this down is sad, but I understand.”
