Aia Las Vegas Visitor's Guide AIA LAS VEGAS VISITOR’S GUIDE 401 S. 4th Street, Suite 175 Las Vegas, NV 89101 702.895.0936 www.aialasvegas.org INTERESTING SITES IN LAS VEGAS Welcome to downtown Las Vegas! Perhaps it’s been awhile since you’ve had the opportunity to visit our downtown. So, take a walk and learn about how our city is changing. Here’s a great chance to get to know the city. 1 Regional Justice Center Lewis and 3rd Street - 200 Lewis Street Architect – Tate Snyder Kimsey Architects 2003 The Regional Justice Center contains 700,000 square feet of space to house four different court systems: Municipal, Justice, District and Supreme. The eighteen-story concrete structure is surrounded by a five-story volume to help make the scale more context-friendly. A light-filled, canyon-like space runs through this volume and terminates at the main entrance, which is elevated and features a civic plaza that reflects traditional courthouse design. Clark County Detention Center 2 Lewis and Casino Center - 330 S. Casino Center Architects - HOK and JMA Architects (original) and HCA and Dworsky Nevada (addition) 1984 and 2002 This building was purposely designed to resemble an office building instead of a jail to blend into downtown. The 350,000 square-foot facility is twelve stories tall, clad with glazed brick and contains 1,450 beds. The Detention Center and the Clark County Courthouse a few blocks away are connected through underground passageways to securely move inmates from one building to the other. A 320,000 square-foot expansion by HCA and Dworsky Nevada , the south building, opened in 2002 and has provided 1,300 additional beds. 3 Lewis Avenue Pedestrian Corridor Lewis Avenue between Las Vegas Boulevard and 4th Street Architect - SWA Group – 2002 As part of a beautification effort by the City of Las Vegas, a three block stretch of land downtown has been transformed into a public plaza linking the Lloyd D. George U.S. Courthouse to the Regional Justice Center. The $2.36 million project intended to be a place for contemplation, lights, benches, over 600 trees and shrubs, and a bridge inscribed with poetry. This project won an award from the Nevada Chapter of the American Planning Institute. 4 Lloyd D. George Federal Courthouse Clark and Las Vegas Blvd. - 333 S. Las Vegas Boulevard Architects - Cannon Dworsky and HCA Architects This striking building, with a $95 million price tag, has been a welcome addition to downtown Las Vegas. The seven-story, 437,000 square-foot facility is L-shaped with its public face and grand entry directed toward downtown. The elevated courtyard space is set back from the street and protected by a series of bollards, a post-Oklahoma City security feature. Exterior building materials (granite, concrete, limestone, white marble, terrazzo, wood and glass) were intended to convey honesty and endurance. This building won an AIA National award for Design Excellence in 2001. 5 Las Vegas Academy of International Studies and Performing Arts Bridger and 7th St. - 315 S. 7th Street Architects – George A. Ferris and Lehman A. Ferris – 1930 The Las Vegas Academy is the city’s best example of Art Deco architecture and was the only high school until the 1950s. Located within the “Las Vegas High School Neighborhood Historic District” bound by 9th, Gass, 6th and Bridger, the three- story concrete building is clad in stucco, and cast concrete friezes depict animals, vegetation, and medallions. The center pavilion with the main entrance is the most elaborate element. Although the exterior has been well preserved, the interior has been altered over the years. The school and its gymnasium were added to the Historic Register in 1986. Las Vegas architectural firm Welles Pugsley Architects (now Pugsley Simpson Coulter Architects) constructed a colorful addition to the Academy in 2000. Morelli House (Interior tour provided by Junior League of Las Vegas) 6 9th St. and Bridger - 861 East Bridger Street Architect – Hugh E. Taylor, AIA - 1959 Because the Morelli House is an excellent example of Las Vegas Mid Century modern architecture and displays a high degree of integrity of design, materials, workmanship and even association, it was placed on Nevada’s Register of Historical Places in 2002. Originally, the house was located at 52 Country Club Drive in the prestigious Desert Inn Estates, The Morelli House was completed in 1959 and was the Morelli’s home until 1974. Rectangular in plan, the overall appearance of the Morelli House is long and low, melding into the landscape. The wall surface is stucco and painted redwood with vertical battens which counteract the extreme horizontality to a degree. In several places along the front of the building, walls are screened with decorative openwork cement blocks. These screens are topped by a row of windows. Between the top of the screen and the widely overhanging eves, is an area called ‘a gallery’ by the architect. 7 El Cortez Casino Fremont St and 6th St. (entrance on Fremont St.) - 600 E. Fremont Street (1930s portion with historic photos on the walls and sidewalk plaque marking 1942 end of Las Vegas Red Light District Marion Hicks and J.C. Grayson built the El Cortez, downtown Las Vegas first major resort, in 1941 for $245,000. The location at 6th Street and Fremont was originally considered too far from downtown, but it became quickly so profitable, Bugsy Siegel, Meyer Lansky, Gus Greenbaum and Moe Sedway bought the property in 1945. J.K. Houssels had originally opened the fifty-nine room hotel and casino before the sale to the major organized crime figures. In 1963, the Pavilion Rooms were added by new owner Jackie Gaughan. Another 15 story tower addition was completed in 1980, bringing the total room count to its current 300. Gaughan, a casino owner and operator since the early 1950s, lives in the El Cortez tower penthouse and is known to be on the casino floor almost daily. The property is one of the few casinos to have never changed its exterior facade in Las Vegas, retaining the same signage and ranch themed architecture for over sixty years. Emergency Arts Complex 8 520 Fremont Street The El Cortez had owned the long-shuttered building that once housed the Fremont Medical Center – where she recalls taking a pre-employment drug test in order to work at the resort years ago. In May 2010 it was re-launched as Emergency Arts, a creative collective of artist spaces, galleries, a yoga studio, a hair salon, a vintage repair store and a coffee shop. 9 Fremont Street Experience Fremont Street from Main to 4th Street Architect – The Jerde Partnership – 1995 The Fremont Street Experience was an attempt to redevelop and rejuvenate downtown Las Vegas. The popularity of the family-oriented Strip and the aging of downtown casinos kept many visitors away. The addition of the four-block-long, 90 foot high space frame has transformed Fremont Street into one large casino with a pedestrian mall. Concerts and other events are held at the Experience, in addition to the light show that plays hourly in the evenings. Overall, the project has been considered a success. Under the frame of the Fremont Street Experience, the El Portal Theatre can be found. The El Portal is a 1928 historic landmark. The blue-green neon sign can be seen just behind the Trader Bills sign (street address is 310 Fremont Street.) 10 Neon Museum From East Fremont to the Fremont Street Experience, inside Neolopolis and north on 3rd Street, you will find a wonderful collection of historic neon signage and sculptures. This area now serves as the “neon museum” showcasing the dozens of beautifully rendered neon artwork that helped to make the city famous. 11 “Pawn Stars” Gold & Silver Pawn Shop 713 S. Las Vegas Blvd. Located in Downtown Las Vegas, owners Rick Harrison (The Spotter) , his dad (The Old Man), his son (Big Hoss) and longtime friend Austin Russell (Chumlee) run this famous establishment. Thousands of visitors flock here every day and even if you’re not into collectibles, the shop makes for a unique tourist attraction. On busy days, you’ll actually see a line of people waiting just to get a sneak peek at the inside. The 24-hour pawn shop opened back in 1989 but has gained massive popularity since “Pawn Stars” debuted in July 2009. It is the highest-rated show on the History Channel, attracting more than 5 million viewers. City Hall Complex 12 400 E. Stewart Avenue Architects – Daniel, Mann, Johnson and Mendenhall and KGA Architecture (addition) – 1973 & 2002 2003 AIA Nevada Design Citation Award Winner in the Built Category The Las Vegas City Hall complex consists of an eleven-story tower with a three-story circular wing surrounding an open plaza. The wedge-shaped tower is clad in marble and glass and considered a good example of 1960s modernist design. In a move that could change the economic landscape of downtown Las Vegas, Zappos.com will take over City Hall, moving its headquarters and about 1,000 employees there sometime in 2012. The new city hall is located downtown between First and Main Streets and Lewis and Clark Avenues. The old City Hall has been purchased by Zappos for their new Las Vegas headquarters. 13 U.S. Post Office & Court House(Soon to be the Las Vegas Museum of Organized Crime and Law Enforcement or “Mob Museum”) 301 E. Stewart Avenue Architect – James A. Wetmore – 1931-33 Once the most elaborate building in Las Vegas, the Beaux-Arts classical styling of the post office reflected the taste of the Treasury department’s architects of the 1890s and 1900s.

  • Designing Eden: the Future of Rule Based City-Making
    CULTURAL PRODUCTION Designing Eden: The future of rule based city-making Maria Del C. Vera1, Shai Yeshayahu2 1University of Nevada Las Vegas, School of Architecture, Las Vegas, NV 2Ryerson University, School of Interior Design Toronto, ON ABSTRACT: The omnipresence of the algorithmic gaze is not just easing the capacity to crawl, index, and rank everything according to rule-based praxises but also shifting the dimensions of where, when, and how citizens move or circulate through the urban commons (O'Brien, 2018). In the absence of urban thinkers or participatory planning, these new alterations take place within the invisible peripheries of algorithms. This paper examines the change, and the spatial currencies reconditioned by the interplay of city-making and city-indexing as infrastructure, urban spaces, and built settings become indistinctively itemized. It recognizes that this is an ongoing process that continues to flatten, catalog, and index the physical characteristics of space which produces a virtual inventory of urban proportions subjecting city officials to accelerate the re-privatization, deregulation, and re-colonization of vast territories. It is within these transactions that we see a re-territorializing of the city's context and the uneven usage of spatial distribution underway. In the case of the American city, the range of impact caused by these emerging transactions is seemingly local, but we claim that the dynamics of city-indexing reverberate across different scales extending from local to regional, and national proportions. To depict our work, we choose a comparative method that aims to associate the impact of rule- base praxis with changes at the urban and regional scale.

  • The Oral History of Kenny Epstein (Do Not Delete) 11/22/2017 12:11 Pm
    THE ORAL HISTORY OF KENNY EPSTEIN (DO NOT DELETE) 11/22/2017 12:11 PM THE ORAL HISTORY OF KENNY EPSTEIN Kenny Epstein has spent a lifetime working in the gaming industry. Beginning in 1966 at the newly opened Caesars Palace as a Baccarat shift boss, Epstein eventually purchased a stake in Jackie Gaughan’s El Cortez Hotel and Casino in the mid-seventies. Partnering with Gaughan and his son Michael, he helped build the Barbary Coast, Gold Coast, Orleans, and Suncoast. In 2007, Epstein purchased the El Cortez and continues to work as the casino’s chief executive officer today. _________________________________________________ I. EARLY LIFE Will you tell us about your life growing up, starting with where you were born? Well, I was born in Chicago, Illinois, July 10th, 1941. My father, Ike Epstein, was a gambler, a professional gambler. He started out as a horse-book banker at first. He had guys at the racetrack, then he got to be a layoff book banker. So that’s how I grew up in the business. Mostly with horses, but later on with sports. As a kid, did you have any particular hobbies or things that you would like to do for fun? Oh, baseball. Baseball is America’s sport. We played a game called pinners, which is baseball with no bat. You take a pink Spaldeen and you throw it on the stoop. You have lines on the street for single, double. Later on we played with a bat and a ball on the street. You know, we had plenty of parks but that wasn’t the game we played.

  • 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.

  • At Zappos, Pushing Shoes and a Vision
    At Zappos, Pushing Shoes and a Vision Photo Tony Hsieh, chief executive of Zappos, at the trailer park in Las Vegas that he both owns and calls home. Credit Brad Swonetz for The New York Times On a sizzling June morning in Las Vegas, 10 Zappos.com employees sat in an air-conditioned conference room decorated with “Star Wars” memorabilia and a mural of Darth Vader. They had gathered for a weekly meeting to discuss new internal software, the sort of routine get-together that keeps corporate America humming. But like all meetings these days at Zappos, the online merchant best known for its shoes, this one followed a strict format determined by a radical self- management system called Holacracy. The goal of Holacracy is to create a dynamic workplace where everyone has a voice and bureaucracy doesn’t stifle innovation. At Zappos, this means traditional corporate hierarchy is gone. Managers no longer exist. The company’s 1,500 employees define their own jobs. Anyone can set the agenda for a meeting. To prevent anarchy, processes are strictly enforced. At the June meeting, a trained facilitator, in this case a young bearded man wearing a blue baseball hat, followed the Holacratic method by asking attendees to “get here, get present, get now,” and encouraged everyone in the room to briefly check in. Photo A shopping area made out of shipping containers is part of an effort to enliven downtown Las Vegas. Credit Brad Swonetz for The New York Times “I’m a little sleepy,” said a wiry man. “It’s warm out,” was the next reply.
