More Hotels -- Old vs. New
Ceasar's is an example of how huge the new complexes are.
Barbary Coast is an example of the old, smaller places. I always gamble a
little here -- I won $350 playing a slot machine on my way to breakfast with
mom a few years ago. Not so lucky this time.
There is the Luxor...
And then there is the Laughing Jackalope.
The neon removed from this sign results in an abstract image.
New York, New York
And the Mandalay, where a 21 year old woman was found dead on the
25th floor yesterday. (Makes the pool of blood I saw on the balcony walkway
of my hotel seem not so bad.)
I always stop at Barbary Coast (above) and at Bourbon Street immediately
behind. But guess what? The sign is still there...
Bourbon Street is gone!
