The Grand Opening of the Jockey Club Las Vegas

Step back in time to an evening of glitz, glamour, and high-stakes excitement that marked the birth of an iconic Las Vegas legend. The grand opening of the Jockey Club Las Vegas was more than just an event; it was a spectacle

A Night of Glitz and Glamour that Sparked a Vegas Legend Las Vegas, a city that thrives on extravagance and entertainment, has witnessed countless grand openings, but few have left an indelible mark quite like the inaugural night of the Jockey Club Las Vegas. It was a gala that would go down in the annals of Sin City’s history, setting the stage for a legendary establishment that would captivate…

Казино Констанцы.

История казино началась в 1880 году, вскоре после возвращения Добруджанского региона Румынии(тогда оно было деревянным). В 1889 году вследствие сильной грозы, большая часть здания была уничтожена. А в 1890 году началось новое строительство Казино, однако, место расположения было немного изменено. В 1903 году деревянный павильон был признан устаревшим и не отвечающим запросам растущего города.

Строительство каменного казино началось в 1904 году. Однако, первый подрядчик работал слишком медленно, и проект здания передали французскому архитектору Даниэлю Ренару. Тот отказался от румынского традиционного стиля и занялся смешением модных в этот момент стилей.  15 августа  1910 года оно было торжественно открыто в присутствии принца Фердинанда.

Здание выполнено в архитектурном стиле "Арт Нуво". В здании были бальный зал (благодаря чему в здании могли проводиться балы, организованные властями муниципалитета), два читальных зала, две игровые комнаты и терраса у моря. Здесь в 1914 году встречали семью русского императора – одну из его дочерей(Ольгу) сватали за румынского принца. Казино работало в режиме 24/7, было хорошо охраняемо и сюда было практически невозможно попасть без разрешения. Во время первой и второй Мировых войн здание служило как госпиталь. К сожалению, оно подверглось сильным бомбовым ударам.

В советское время Казино было восстановлено и использовалось для проведения заседаний местного совета.  В конце 80х было решено вернуть зданию первоначальное предназначение и переоборудовать его обратно в казино. Последний капитальный ремонт здесь был в 1988 году. Поддержание инфраструктуры казино в последние годы стало слишком дорогим, и в 1990 году здание было закрыто. Сейчас некогда великолепное здание с колоннами, мрамором и лепниной заброшено. На его восстановление нужны большие деньги, которых, к сожалению, власти Румынии пока не нашли. Но это не мешает туристам приезжать полюбоваться роскошным дворцом.

Constanta Casino.

The history of the casino began in 1880, shortly after the return of the Dobrogea region to Romania (at that time it was wooden). In 1889, due to a strong thunderstorm, most of the building was destroyed. And in 1890, a new construction of the Casino began, however, the location was slightly changed. In 1903, the wooden pavilion was considered outdated and did not meet the needs of the growing city.

The construction of the stone casino began in 1904. However, the first contractor worked too slowly, and the design of the building was given to the French architect Daniel Renard. He abandoned the traditional Romanian style and began to mix the styles that were fashionable at that time. On August 15, 1910, it was solemnly opened in the presence of Prince Ferdinand.

The building is made in the architectural style of "Art Nouveau". The building had a ballroom (which allowed the building to host balls organized by the municipal authorities), two reading rooms, two game rooms and a terrace by the sea. In 1914, the family of the Russian emperor was met here - one of his daughters (Olga) was wooed by a Romanian prince. The casino was open 24/7, was well guarded and it was almost impossible to get in without permission. During the First and Second World Wars, the building served as a hospital. Unfortunately, it was heavily bombed.

During the Soviet era, the Casino was restored and used for meetings of the local council. In the late 80s, it was decided to return the building to its original purpose and convert it back into a casino. The last major renovation was in 1988. Maintaining the casino infrastructure in recent years has become too expensive, and in 1990 the building was closed. Now the once magnificent building with columns, marble and stucco is abandoned. Its restoration requires a lot of money, which, unfortunately, the Romanian authorities have not yet found. But this does not stop tourists from coming to admire the luxurious palace.

Rewriting history in the 1920's

Been listening to Alice Francis' - St James Ballroom, Shoot him down and The Correspondents' - Fear & Delight on repeat and my gosh, I've been wanting to draw 1920's inspired Drakgo for along time now! I intended for this to be a joker card of a full set of Kim Possible playing cards (@creatorping pointed out that Kim would make a great King, Monique a Queen, Ron the Jack (of all trades) and I think Wade as an Ace) but it's a bit too ambitious to fully shade all those cards as well, maybe I do it in the future but for now nope. Special thanks to my BF for knowing a shit-ton about weaponry and telling me what would suit the best. Got an entire list but I went in the end with Tommy gun. I'm not that good at drawing them tho :')

Since I’m starting school soon (tuesday) I’m posting all the Casino designs that are done already!

This seventeenth-century Palazzetto Bru Zane, located in Venice, was originally a place for entertainment, especially for listening music.

This is where Mozart is presumed to have played during his stay in Venice (Carnival, 1771).

Bearing the name of its original owners, the Zane family, was built between 1695 and 1697 and it was designed by the architect Antonio Gaspari.

Wish longform video essays/amateur documentaries had a healthy review culture. Think it would improve the ecosystem

it's kinda cool how we can group AM's albums based on countries

I don't think it's particularly original but hear me out:

WPSIATWIAN, Favourite Worst Nightmare: Arctic's Monkeys' "England Era" albums- the albums with which they broke into the UK music scene. They have the classic Brit garage rock revival sound, heavy in guitar riffs and drums. Lyrics are very stripped back and direct, mainly acute observations and character sketches of people and situations a young person from a city like Sheffield would come across.

Humbug, Suck it and See, AM: the "USA Era" albums- these were literally written and recorded in the States (Matt and Alex both moved there around this time)- Humbug has its darker, desert rock aesthetics courtesy of Josh Homme (also an American), SIAS has a more mainstream pop-rock-y sound and AM has its well talked about R&B and hiphop influences. Lyrically we see fame and romance cropping up more and more throughout the sons. These are also the albums with which they made a mark on the American scene, which reached a height with AM. For most of this era Alex had his gelled quiff-leather jacket-drainpip jeans 50's greaser rockstar look and persona- very American again.

TBH&C, The Car: the "France Era" albums- Tranquility Base was written in LA but recorded in France and I'd wager a good chunk of the Car was written there as well with Alex supposedly living in Paris on and off in the recent years- these two albums explore into the cinematic, funky lounge rock sound with heavy influences from Frenchpop and European film music. Lyrically and thematically, the songs are more introspective, more abstract, more symbolic and laden with obscure references and metaphors. The 60s/70s New Wave cinema aesthetics are heavy, both in visual media of the two albums and in Alex's style and stage persona.

Last Stand by James Marvin Phelps Via Flickr: Last Stand Tropicana Hotel and Casino Las Vegas, Nevada January 2024 The Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas has a rich history dating back to its opening in 1957. Originally known as the Tropicana Resort & Casino, it was one of the first major hotels on the famous Las Vegas Strip. The Tropicana demolition is on track for late 2024 or early 2025, and it will become the site of a new baseball stadium for the A’s. The A’s move was unanimously approved by MLB ownership on November 16, 2023, during the owners' meeting in Arlington, Texas. The Athletics applied to relocate to Las Vegas after their lease with the Coliseum expires at the end of the 2024 season.

I think I could chill in a room for an hour with Jikiro or Kas cuz I could just chat about art shit w. them, I'd trust Arty to commit major tax fraud for me and make the government give me millions of dollars with no consequences, and if anyone is taking me to Dennys they're getting abandoned without question

--

you know, that's fair, I can understand those answers too because yeah Kas and/or Ji would be chill in there with you and enjoy the conversation and yeah, Arty would do that for you even if it would also permanently change your computer background to hello kitty on a skateboard or something
