Armed with my first digital camera (which the Significant Other won during the brief run of "The Real Deal" at the Venetian), we scoped out M Resort on opening night. If Encore marked the return of "the red casino," M responds with what might be called "the resinous casino." If you grew up in a region thick with sap-laden trees, the look will be familiar:
This pillar motif runs throughout the resort ...
... as here, over the slot floor.
Fixtures like these ...
... also make nifty places of concealment for the domes that mask the PTZ surveillance cameras.
This lovely canopy in the grand foyer ...
... is but a stone's throw from the check-in desk.
The sports book. Obviously.
The requisite wild-and-crazy casino carpet, for those who dig that jazz.
Blown-glass ornaments in the VIP players' lounge, where the TV (not shown) ...
... was set to Family Guy, in a gesture of impeccable taste. Other teevees throughout the property were tuned to either ESPN or Fox Noise, er, News. The lounge was also home to ...
... this floral arrangement. (Like, duh.)
Sample table setting (out of several) in one of the smaller meeting rooms.
Just add conventioneers and stir. (Groovy carpet, huh?)
Lastly ...
... your humble blogger comes to grips with one of M's self-service beverage stations. As you can see, I'm partial to the Real Thing. And, yes, I often look similarly vexed. All this and we still got home in time for United States of Tara. (Toni Colette can play damn near anything.)
Enjoy!

closed to get them to send it to me but finally it came.
What can I say? I find Faux News to be juvenile, especially after that ridiculous "brothel train" segment. None of their footage will ever be embedded here.
Yes, my not-quite-spouse had trouble getting her camera, which didn't arrive until long after the show had closed.
The photograph at the *top* of the page was taken on Christmas Day, 2006, in Joshua Tree Nat'l Monument. I hope I haven't aged alarmingly since then.
