In this installment of 360 Vegas POV, we continue our analysis of Martin Scorsese's movie Casino by analyzing the scene when Andy Stone asks Ace to run the Tangiers as well as the introduction of Ginger, Ace's future wife. 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.

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. But before we do that, lets reestablish the rules. We want to see how close the movie storyline matches what really happened. We'll start by assuming bot...

Imperial Palace. Never have two words meant such polar opposites to people, depending on what side of the globe they live on. To the Japanese, it is the elegant residence of the Emperor; a sprawling park like area with Edo (E-Doe) Castle as its centerpiece. Originally build in 1457, in the 1980s, it's value was greater than that of the entire state of California. For the record, that's real estate about the size of Disneyland. Also in the 1980s, the Imperial Palace came to be known as a hotel ca...

The Thunderbird is a property I've never paid much attention to, for no particular reason. I wasn't offended by it's Native American theme, that's not really my style. That being said, I will say the theme was about as interesting to me as the cowboy motif at the El Rancho or the Last Frontier. Being a child of technology, harkening back to a day when it didn't have anything isn't my idea of a vacation, it sounds like torture. One of the most fascinating things about Las Vegas is its unique abil...

*Premium Content Preview* Isolated gambling clubs existed on Highway 91 before 1941 but the concept of a full scale resort with overnight accommodations, gaming, dining, entertainment and shopping all in one vacation destination wasn’t conceived as something anyone would want in the harsh desert climate. The El Rancho not only offered something Highway 91 had never seen, it set a precedent by creating a themed vacation destination that would shape what would later become the Las Vegas Strip. Thi...
*Premium Content Preview* History hasn’t been fair to Billy Wilkerson. For years, a myth has lived in romantic Hollywood lour that Bugsy Siegel is the father of modern Vegas. When in truth, it was stolen and ruined by the notorious gangster who caused the project to cost 6 times more than its original projected cost. When it finally opened, it was a disaster of such catastrophic proportions that his partners in the mafia had him killed. Now it is time to set the record straight about the real ma...

Architecture, if done well, is much more than just the designing of a building; its creating a durable structure that is not only functional but beautiful. Every building is designed by an architect however it takes vision and skill to transcend the steel, concrete and glass jungles of major metropolitan cities to create things that stands out in someone’s mind, and in some cases in history, as exceptional representations of the craft, inspiring future generations to take architecture to the nex...
