This gaudy building on the corner of Flamingo and Rainbow is a traffic lawyer's office. The fact that it is on Flamingo and Rainbow makes the bright pink building quite appropriate. Even though pink isn't typically thought of as part of a rainbow's spectrum of colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet), the reference to pink flamingos is completely fitting. (You might also notice from the palm trees that it was very windy this day).
I imagine traffic lawyers do very well in Las Vegas. There are accidents all the time in this town. This is a party town after all and people get stupid. And if you're a pedestrian or a pedestrian on a bike, be extra careful walking or riding the streets of Las Vegas. I think some drivers actually aim for these slow-moving targets. Yes, Vegas has an extremely high rate of pedestrians getting run over by cars and trucks. And god forbid you walk in a crosswalk--you might as well put a sign on your back, "Hit Me." One time I was walking across Maryland Parkway in a very brightly flashing pedestrian cross-walk and pick-up truck failed to yield and passed right in front of me as I negotiated the middle of its 7-lanes. Swearing as he passed by, the driver flipped me off. It was hair-raisingly laughable. Be careful out there friends.
