Download or read book The Strip written by Stefan Al and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2017-03-03 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transformations of the Strip—from the fake Wild West to neon signs twenty stories high to “starchitecture”—and how they mirror America itself. The Las Vegas Strip has impersonated the Wild West, with saloon doors and wagon wheels; it has decked itself out in midcentury modern sleekness. It has illuminated itself with twenty-story-high neon signs, then junked them. After that came Disney-like theme parks featuring castles and pirates, followed by replicas of Venetian canals, New York skyscrapers, and the Eiffel Tower. (It might be noted that forty-two million people visited Las Vegas in 2015—ten million more than visited the real Paris.) More recently, the Strip decided to get classy, with casinos designed by famous architects and zillion-dollar collections of art. Las Vegas became the “implosion capital of the world” as developers, driven by competition, got rid of the old to make way for the new—offering a non-metaphorical definition of “creative destruction.” In The Strip, Stefan Al examines the many transformations of the Las Vegas Strip, arguing that they mirror transformations in America itself. The Strip is not, as popularly supposed, a display of architectural freaks but representative of architectural trends and a record of social, cultural, and economic change. Al tells two parallel stories. He describes the feverish competition of Las Vegas developers to build the snazziest, most tourist-grabbing casinos and resorts—with a cast of characters including the mobster Bugsy Siegel, the eccentric billionaire Howard Hughes, and the would-be political kingmaker Sheldon Adelson. And he views the Strip in a larger social context, showing that it has not only reflected trends but also magnified them and sometimes even initiated them. Generously illustrated with stunning color images throughout, The Strip traces the many metamorphoses of a city that offers a vivid projection of the American dream.

Book excerpt: As part of the notorious MIT Team depicted in Ben Mezrich's now classic Bringing Down the House, Jeff Ma used math and statistics to master the game of blackjack and reap handsome rewards at casinos. Years later, Ma has inspired not only a bestselling novel and hit movie, but has also started three different companies—the latest of which, Citizen Sports, is an innovative marriage of sports, betting, and digital technology—and launched a successful corporate speaking career. The House Advantage reveals Ma's cutting-edge mathematical insights into the world of statistics and makes them applicable to a wide business audience.

Download or read book Las Vegas USA Travel Guide Viva Las Vegas Splendor Glamour and Gambling Travel tips eBook Nevada written by Baktash Vafaei and published by StateGuides. This book was released on with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las Vegas, the dazzling oasis in the Nevada desert, is globally renowned for its radiant splendor, exclusive entertainment, and the constant pulse of life. Often referred to as the "adult playground," the city has transformed from a humble railroad station in the mid-19th century into one of the world's most visited tourist attractions. The history of Las Vegas is marked by glamour, glitz, and, of course, gambling. The origin of Las Vegas can be traced back to the mid-19th century when the city was a modest trading post. The pivotal turning point came in 1931 when the state of Nevada legalized gambling, ushering in an era of growth and innovation. The first casinos, such as El Rancho Vegas, opened their doors, laying the foundation for the famous Las Vegas Strip. The Strip, a 6.8-kilometer stretch, is the epicenter of gambling and entertainment. Casinos along the Strip compete not only for the favor of players but also for the most innovative gaming concepts and breathtaking shows. From the iconic lights of Luxor to the replica of the Eiffel Tower outside the Paris Las Vegas Hotel, the Strip is a stunning backdrop of neon lights, massive LED screens, and captivating architecture. Yet, Las Vegas is more than just glitz and glamour. The city has its own soul, shaped by a fascinating blend of cultures and people. The residents, affectionately called "Las Vegans," contribute to making the city not only a place of pleasure but also a community. The magic of Las Vegas also lies in the diversity of its visitors. People from all corners of the world flock to the city to experience the unparalleled feeling of freedom, fun, and adventure. The casinos are a melting pot of cultures, a place where people of different backgrounds and lifestyles come together to succumb to the thrill of gambling. A captivating aspect of Las Vegas is its ability to constantly reinvent itself. The city, once known for its classic casinos, has evolved into a place where innovation and creativity flow. The introduction of themed hotels, breathtaking shows, and extravagant events has turned Las Vegas into a perpetually changing phenomenon. However, amidst all the glitter and glamour, it's crucial to emphasize that Las Vegas is not solely defined by gambling. The city offers a rich cultural scene, from top-notch museums and galleries to renowned restaurants serving international cuisine. Las Vegas has become a destination that caters to every taste and interest. Viva Las Vegas – not just a song title but also the guiding principle of this fascinating city. It translates to "Live Las Vegas" and embodies the vibrant energy that makes the city so unique. Las Vegas is more than a collection of casinos; it is a lively, breathing metropolis in the desert that embodies the dreams and desires of millions of people from around the world.
