"As the competition for tourist dollars grows more intense every year, resort and casino developers come up with myriad design strategies to draw the crowds, from the fantastically themed mega-resorts of Las Vegas to the neo-traditional riverboat casinos and their elaborate onshore party pavilions, to the dozens of Native American casinos."--BOOK JACKET. "The projects showcased in Casino Design range from the plastic fantastic oversized Las Vegas-theme destinations such as the Luxor, New York-New York, and Excalibur, through imaginatively designed Native American casinos led by Connecticut's Mohegan Sun as well as riverboats, island resorts, and properties in Thessaloniki, Greece; Sun City, South Africa; and Istanbul, Turkey."--BOOK JACKET.
