One of the first things that struck me about Las Vegas, on my first trip there back in the 1990s, was the garish carpeting in all the casinos.

Apparently, I'm not the only one to have wondered about this. In fact, David Schwartz, director of the Center for Gaming Research at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, has devoted significant time to studying the psychological impact of this floor covering, as seen here: http://www.dieiscast.com/gallery/carpet-essay/

Anyway, I decided to do a little photoessay of my own, the last time we were in Vegas:

  1. Awesome, Diane! My mom has worked in the industrial/commercial carpeting business for 25 years (and she's had several casino accounts), but I've never seen anything like this. I will pass it on to her for feedback!
