E-322: An Uncomfortable Conversation



Random Vegas
Glass installation at Circa has begun! To mark that occasion, Vital Vegas shared a few project factoids. Since construction began on Oct 3rd of 2019, Circa has been building a floor per week.  While the announced plan for the project is 777, Circa will actually open with 500 rooms and 71 suites.  Demand will determine if the remaining rooms will be turned into suites or some version of a standard room. Lastly, while there are loads of other information shared in the article, the item that caught our attention is the potential future home of Vegas Vicki, INSIDE Circa, featured in the lobby, so large that she will be situation in the middle of a hole in the ceiling to give her room to fit over two stories.

Come...the fuck...on.  How cool did Caesars Palace used to look?  Of course, why the fuck this made Jay Sarno think of ancient Rome, who knows?  The renovated look better supports the overall theme and is clearly an improvement. All that being said, this is kind of what date night looks like in Las Vegas...wicked cool.  Maybe not like the old school Caesars Porte Cashere shared by @classiclasvegas but you get the point.  That feeling you get looking at this picture...it feels like that for locals when actually doing it.  So haters, line up, and make sure your insults are succinct...and speak up, cause it’s hard to hear you standing this close to old school neon.

E-245: Asian Grab N Go



Random Vegas


In a unique cross promotion with the movie Armageddon, in 1998, Luxor had a wrap applied to the side of the building giving the illusion that it had been hit by an asteroid, however it was only on display for about a week .  Also, the 3d illusion only worked from far away.

I'm convinced things like this week's winner, brought to you by @VitalVegas, are done intentionally so they can be preserved for history.  Continuing to add to the art gallery I'll open post-humusly to celebrate his legacy, or to fuel police suspicion that I was somehow involved in his untimely death, Vital Vegas once again shared a view of Vegas never before seen of the city, this time at the Las Vegas club.  Looking like something you would see in the aftermath of an Avengers battle against the forces of evil, without the view obscuring reflective backdrop it previously resided in front of, the well known statue of a baseball player swinging away at the Las Vegas Club now appears to be helping in its demolition.  Why else would the Las Vegas Club signage still be attached to the side of the building currently being torn down if not to create a photographic metaphor?  By chance or intention, we celebrate the creation of a view that simultaneously documents Las Vegas and inspires memories of it.
