Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas: After-Hours Architecture | Alan Hess
4 posts
As eccentric and entertaining as its subject matter, Viva Las Vegas examines the architectural and historical evolution of America's original strip city, from its modest origins as a sleepy roadside stop to the neon splendor of its extravagant "theme" hotels. Illustrated with fascinating contemporary and archival photographs, this inviting, informative volume offers an intriguing look into the kitsch and complexities of a unique and provocative Clty.

Looking for Vegas bookish recommendations of things to do. I have some down time from my two day class and need some bookish ideas.

Bookchipmunk The Chihuly at the Bellagio is amazing (not bookish) 🤓 6y

Non-book post ahead:

I am still reeling. Through my tears I feel fury and devastation and confusion and I so appreciate the senators (mine are Murphy & Blumenthal) who also grieve and feel heartbroken enough to want to make change.

Let this be the last time we wake up to news of a horrific, senseless, mass shooting.

This should not have happened. 💔💔💔💔💔
We're with you Las Vegas. 🖤

mrozzz @RebL ahh I've read so many messages I thought I'd seen a couple senators use the word "galvanize". Don't have good recall today. 7y
mrozzz @Crystalblu that's unimaginable. I truly hope she checks in soon 💜 7y
Crystalblu Sadly no 7y
mrozzz @Crystalblu it's still chaotic? 7y
