  • Oasis/Mirage: Fantasies of Nature in Las Vegas*
    _______________________________________________________ 2002, in Nature and its Discontents from Virgin Land to Disney World: Reinterpretations of Freud's Civilization Thesis in the America(s) of Yesterday and Today. Ed. B. Herzogenrath. New York: Editions Rodopi ________________________________________________________ Natasha Dow Schull Oasis/Mirage: Fantasies of Nature in Las Vegas* I had the great fortune of arriving in Las Vegas at dawn in an airplane. It was light enough to see the city and part of the desert, but it was still dark enough so that they hadn't turned the signs off for the day. I never saw such a sight in my life. It looked like an entire city was lurching across the desert. It was an incredible movement! I rented a car and started driving and I saw an extraordinary thing: the horizon, the skyline, was not made of trees and it was not made of buildings. It was all signs. Tom Wolfe (in Stern 1979:11) The towns of the desert end abruptly; they have no surround. And they have about them something of the mirage, which may vanish at any instant. You have only to see Las Vegas, sublime Las Vegas, rise in its entirety from the desert at nightfall bathed in phosphorescent lights, and return to the desert when the sun rises, after exhausting its intense, superficial energy all night long, still more intense in the first light of dawn, to understand the secret of the desert and the signs to be found there: a spellbinding discontinuity, an all-enveloping, intermittent radiation. Jean Baudrillard (1989:127) Almost everyone notes that there is no “time” in Las Vegas, no night and no day and no past and no future; neither is there any logical sense of where one is.

    Gaming Research May 28, 2018 Ken Liu (702) 266-5620 CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT CORP. (NASDAQ: CZR) [email protected] 1630 S. Commerce St. Caesars has a significant presence in Las Vegas with a 63% EBITDA Las Vegas, NV 89141 exposure. Labor contracts for most Las Vegas casino resorts, including all but one of the Caesars properties, expire at the end of May. Last week, 25,000 union members voted to authorize a strike by a 99% margin. Main outstanding issues in CZR negotiations include technology, housekeeping workload study, union security in case of change of ownership, and wages and benefits. The difference between the two sides’ economic proposals is approximately $7.4 million in the first year and $8.9 million in the fifth year. A one-month strike could reduce CZR’s EBITDAR by nearly $120 million. Negotiations are scheduled for May 29 and May 30 Labor contracts for most Las Vegas casino resorts expire at the end of May. Collective bargaining agreements between UNITE HERE’s Culinary Local 226 and Bartenders Local 165 (“the Union”) and most of the casino resorts on the Las Vegas Strip and Downtown Las Vegas are set to expire at the end of this month. All Caesars properties except the Rio have contracts expiring at the end of the month. (See the end of this note for a list of properties at risk.) Caesars has a significant presence in Las Vegas with a 63% EBITDA exposure. Negotiations for a new 5-year deal covering all CZR properties’ approximately 12,000 workers started in March, but major differences remain between the unions and the company.

  • About Wynn Resorts
    About Wynn Resorts About Wynn Resorts Stephen A. Wynn, the founder of Wynn Resorts, Limited, is the preeminent designer, developer and operator of Integrated Resorts globally. Wynn Resorts owns and operates two Integrated Resorts in Las Vegas, Nevada and three in the Macau Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (“Macau”). The Wynn development team envisions, designs, and builds boldly conceived Integrated Resorts that set progressively higher standards for quality, guest service and entertainment and that transformed their markets from “gaming-only” locales to diversified global tourist destinations. Wynn Integrated Resorts seamlessly integrate sophisticated architecture, luxurious interior design, and a diverse selection of amenities, including fine-dining restaurants, premium-retail offerings, a full range of 24-hour games, convention facilities, and live-performance venues. The result: unique experiences for guests of the highest quality. Guided by the simple truth that, “Only people can make people happy,” Wynn employees are devoted to delivering the Wynn promise of always exceeding guest expectations. For 40 years, resorts led by the Wynn development team have been the employer of choice in their markets. An Unparalleled Record of Market Transformation As Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mirage Resorts, Incorporated, Mr. Wynn opened The Mirage, Las Vegas’ first true Integrated Resort, in 1989. The Mirage, at that time the most expensive casino in the history of Las Vegas, was an instant success, breaking all Las Vegas records for profitability and for the first time generated more non-gaming revenue than gaming revenue for a Las Vegas resort. The Mirage not only established the concept of an Integrated Resort but also broadened the global appeal of Las Vegas, triggering an immediate $12 billion city-wide investment boom that made Las Vegas the number one tourist destination in the world.

  • Design Update
    Design Update CREATING CITYCENTER MGM MIRAGE’s urbane and sustainable “city within a city” redefines Las Vegas CityCenter is for people who want the Las Vegas they’ve never seen before. Jim Murren, Chairman and CEO, MGM MIRAGE This is the future of Las Vegas—CityCenter is in an entirely different category. Bobby Baldwin, President and CEO, CityCenter CityCenter is the best example anywhere of a REINVENTING collaborative design process. Art Gensler, Founder and Chairman, Gensler LAS VEGAS Once a generation, Las Vegas reinvents itself. In the Rat Pack era, it embraced midcentury modernism. Then, The Mirage and Bellagio remade The Strip as an entertainment resort 12/16/09 destination. Early in this new century, MGM MIRAGE CityCenter Grand Opening envisioned a “city within a city”—a new symbol of Las Vegas that, in the words of CityCenter’s Bobby Baldwin, combines “the vitality of Las Vegas with the experiences tourists seek in great cities around the world.” In 2005, master plan in hand, MGM MIRAGE asked Gensler to join it and make CityCenter a reality. How our team helped reinvent Las Vegas is a case study in design leadership. Contents The vision 2Making it happen 14 The challenge 4Greening CityCenter 18 Design leadership 6The vision realized 22 Catalyst for ideas 8Project and team information 24 Branding the destination 10 Gensler Design Update CityCenter 1 CityCenter aims to transform Las Vegas as a new symbol at its core. Bobby Baldwin, President and CEO, CityCenter A CITY WITHIN A CITY THE VISION It took strong design leadership to bring the initial Bobby Baldwin on CityCenter: “This is one of the few CityCenter gives The Strip an urban core—a new plan and building program to a fully realized vision places in the world where we had a completely clean city-scale development that supports a rich, full, 24/7 of an urbane and dynamic place, the heart of a new canvas—and the resources for the best of everything life.

  • The Naming of Gaming
    The Naming of Gaming Pauliina Raento Academy of Finland and William A. Douglass University of Nevada, Reno The naming of casinos in Las Vegas, Nevada, is an essential ingredient in the design of the city's entertainment landscape. More than 300 names have been used in the naming of gaming in Las Vegas since 1955. They occur in seven dominant patterns: 1) luck and good fortune, 2) wealth and opulence, 3) action, adventure, excitement and fantasy, 4) geography, 5) a certain moment, era, or season, 6) intimacy and informal- ity, and 7) "power words" commonly used in the naming of businesses. The categories are described and analyzed from the perspective of the evolution of Las Vegas. Regional variations between the Las Vegas Strip, Downtown Las Vegas, and suburban Las Vegas are also discussed. The names provide a powerful means of evoking senses of place, images, and identities for the casinos. They underscore the interpretative subjectivity and plurality of the relationship between people and commercial urban environments. Introduction We name people, things, and places to distinguish them from one another and to give them character. Often the names are commemorative and draw upon features (usually positive) of individuals and places. Buildings, streets and towns are named after other familiar places, historical events, and distinguished persons who have played a notable role in the shared past. As an example of the latter, over one quarter of the roughly 3,000 counties in the United States are named patriotically, most often commemorating a political figure (Zelinsky 1983, 6). Names of streets and buildings in capital cities and other centers of importance have special prestige.
