“Holy shit, that used to exist” is the first thing I exclaimed the first time I saw this picture of the Riviera’s porte cochere, circa 1969.  With stunning curves and swooping elegance, it stood as a shining example of the art deco playbook at its pinnacle and proves that buildings can be sexy as well as functional.  This is what the place looked like when Dino was part owner as well as headliner.  I’d like to imagine that @_GrandpaD is a vindictive old man who enjoys showing things the rest of us can only be teased by.  Thanks…dick.

The New York skyline, shared by @VegasTravelNews, eloquently recreated on the Las Vegas strip, provides just enough of the real experience to check it off of my to-do list.  Plus it has a roller coaster.  Where is your theme park attraction real New York?  In all seriousness, the ability to enjoy different themes & experiences per property is one of the magical things about this city.  A pyramid, a Medieval Castle, Paris and a number for tropical themed resorts, all in one desert.
