Friday

Casinos are not all created equal. Madalay Bay for example understands light. Color, intensity, positioning, direction, intentional use of shadows etc. If Apple designed a casino I imagine it to look like Mandalay.  Car equivalent: 2012 BMW M3 Sedan

Riviera....well perhaps in 1974 light bulbs came in one setting...on. Then in 1983 someone figured out how to make them blink.               Fast.          They added mirrors and chrome sometime after that. The effect somewhat akin to adding 3 microphones and a 400 watt amp to your 10 year old sons drum set. You could but WHY for gods sake? If the designer of the Hasbro game Operation designed a hotel/casino it would perhaps please the senses better than Riviera.

Friday:
9am Check out of the Circus. Car Equivalent = 1992 Chevy Caprice.

Back to the Expo. More great shots to be had in the model studios.

He was on of the models on Thursday. I did not get any shots of him as there were too many people to get a decent shot.

Lunch in Mandalay. I have never seen interior lighting as amazing as this. Hope to go back to get some photos. Perhaps spend a day photoing casino interiors.

2pm to the fashion mall to get some shoes and a couple shirts at Dillards. 65% off sale. Bonus.

I heard the education system is bad in Vegas. This is sign made the point clear to the point of alarming.

Check in to Riviera. Car = 1978 stretched and lowered rust spoted Vega with underside neon and 20 inch Chromies

Against better internal voice judgement, saw the show Crazy Girls. It was a human incarnation of the hotel. Embodying it's likeness to a T. Well done Riv!

The window view also on par with the establishment:
