Yes, this is why there are no clocks in casinos and the cell phone service is terrible. They don’t want you to know the time and they def don’t want you in your room.

Casino design fascinates me. Everything is considered and everything is intentional. Brilliant. Tricky, but brilliant.

How Casinos Use Design Psychology to Get You to Gamble More

No aspect of design is left out of Friedman's analysis, and his thirteen principles line-up to certain stereotypes we have about casinos. As some examples:

Principle 2: Gambling Equipment Immediately Inside Casino Entrances Beats Vacant Entrance Landings and Empty Lobbies
Principle 4: The Maze Layout Beats Long, Wide, Straight Passageways and Aisles
Principle 8: Low Ceilings Beat High Ceilings
Principle 9: Gambling Equipment As the Décor Beats Impressive and Memorable Decorations
Principle 11: Pathways Emphasizing the Gambling Equipment Beat the Yellow Brick Road

My husband and I joke that revel in Atlantic City failed bc their showers were so amazing people were spending more time in the showers than the casino. That being said, if you want to talk about a failed casino with a terrible design and floor plan, revel is your perfect example. Like you said, casino design is very detailed and intentional.

I thought it was a tub/jacuzzi as well!!! Albeit, an extremely ugly one. Not a fan of the decor either. Give me a charming, little B and B any day over this.

Those chairs don't look the least bit comfortable :eek: I like accommodations that make me feel like I'm at home or in someone else's home.

There were numerous reasons why Revel failed; the least of it was the showers in the room.

Article has excerpts from Marilou Danley's official statement that was read by her attorney within the last hour.

https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/l...-las-vegas-gunman-arrives-u-s-sources-n807331

From the article:

"I am devastated by the deaths and injuries that have occurred," Danley said in a brief statement read by Lombard. "I knew Stephen Paddock as a kind, caring, quiet man. I loved him and hoped to have a quiet future with him. ...

"He never said anything to me or took any action that I was aware of that I understood as a warning that something horrible like this was going to happen," he quoted her as saying.

Investigators have mostly finished searching Paddock's two Nevada homes and haven't yet found any manifesto or video statement that could yield a possible motive, according to federal officials. And they are continuing to scour through his electronic devices for clues.

Wonder if she is Hispanic looking.

POPSICLE....daaaammm! Excellent question. I am in awe. Now it makes you wonder about the women at the concert who issued warning. (Ps....Lots of early rumors are starting to be confirmed....in the strangest ways.)
Money transferred to Phillipines (very recently) now confirmed by MLD attorney....

So that’s it? No picture or description? Just mystery woman?
Right. What is the point of even reporting it when there's no information beyond what the headline says?

I find it very hard to believe that Danley had no idea what Paddock was up to.

Too much information is missing.

On CNN just now (PST)- said documents show he purchased the home in Mesquite in 2014, and chose it within five minutes of looking at it because it was at the end of a culdesac without any houses behind it, up on a hill (so lots of privacy). On the application listed his profession as gambler and said he gambled $1 million per year. He paid $369,000 cash for the house.

After he moved in to this 55+ community, he put up privacy fencing around the home and 20 people petitioned to get it removed because it was "ugly." A neighbor is quoted as hearing him say "I don't want people looking at me and I don't want to look at other people."

If he told her about it he risked her telling someone else. I believe he kept it from her. He put a lot of time into this plan and anyone knowing might have interfered with his ability to carry it out.

If my husband and I didn’t like to gamble I wouldn’t have any desire to go either. Plus we live in NY so we have Atlantic City and access to all the entertainment we could ever want or need. That’s being said we did get married in Vegas this summer lol. A couple of the newer casinos like cosmopolitan and aria are much more updated.

I agree. The newer ones are very impressive to see and spend time in. It's not cheesy glitz and glamour and some of the shows are quite good. I've only been to Vegas once and I'd love to go back, and I barely gamble OR party (hard).

There is a simple solution to that:

Paddock should have bought a small island and make it a population of 1 - himself.
