In this installment of 360 Vegas POV, we continue our analysis of Martin Scorsese's movie Casino by breaking down two scenes that will help to establish the geographic layout for the movie's version of the city of Las Vegas. While we do that, we'll compare the films version of Vegas to the one that actually existed at the time as well as today.

E-246: Queen Elizabeth in the Closet

While drafting up the final deal for MGM to purchase Mirage Resorts, Kirk Kerkorian’s lawyer tried to get him to put a non-compete clause in the agreement; which he responded “absolutely not. The best thing that could happen to us is that Steve comes back and builds a place across the street” (Book Winner Takes All)

It's a view we've all enjoyed before in one form or another and is most likely the happy place you go to in your mind when such psychological barriers need to be established. The view of Vegas at night, it's energy and noise muted by the window in your room, separating you from basking in all it's glory does little to suppress the feeling of excitement attained by simply observing it. In my experience, the feelings this view stirs up can only be compared to the anticipation you feel just before having sex. Euphoria brought on by the knowledge that what you are about to experience is the pinnacle of human pleasure. Thank you @TheLINQ for stirring up such light headed bliss.

It’s a common site in major cities; densely populated areas with a vast array of diverse buildings reaching to the sky showcasing multiple architectural styles, the definition of picturesque. But only Las Vegas can pull off, what some could consider a large collection of clashing styles and make them beautiful and harmonious. It’s said that a picture says a thousand words but in same rare cases, like the one @LVCVA shared this week, can also leave you speechless.
