    Warm over the top colors are appealing and it has futuristic vibe with abstract leanings.
    The big out of focus banner on right third in foreground......I don't know if that is ideal....getting too much attention so for me its a distraction.

    My 2 cents worth. I like it, it is beautiful, but I don't see technology (to me tech is more space launches, cell phones and computers). I see glitz, glamour, and beauty created with hard effort but only skin deep. The yellow/brass color gives me the feel of gold/$$. The relative lack of people adds a feeling of emptyness, or maybe hollowness as if it is a movie stage and there is nothing behind the windows and walls. Yeah, I know this is the cliche-ed stereotype for Los Vegas, but that is what I see. And the Gucci logo fits in with that perfectly.
    That's the story I see, and that's why I like it.

    Thank you Sand. Interesting comments... I appreciate them. Yeah,... maybe technology today is mainly electronics...

    I'm not sure what you mean by cliche-ed stereotype for Las Vegas...??

    Hi Tatiana,

    I'm with Sand, although this photo is appealing I don't find this picture to be about technology.

    Cheers, Sara

    Sorry, I just reread my first comment and it might sound like a negative comment on your photo. I was afraid someone would think I meant that Vegas was only "... glitz, glamour, and beauty created with hard effort but only skin deep." Or that Vegas is "...hollowness as if it is a movie stage and there is nothing behind the windows and walls." There is a much larger community than that in the area and I don't want to insult it.
    What you showed is one view of the casino part of Vegas and you did it well.

    Thank you Sand - No, I didn't think it was a kind of a bad comment, at all... I was just curios to know what people think about this city, because you mentioned...

    This is not a view of a casino, but of a very modern (I would say high and modern technology in architecture) complex of buildings called City Center. Two of the buildings (high rise) are even leaning high rise buildings - that's why I thought it would work for the subject.

    But of course, people who don't know about all these things will not understand what kind of technology I'm talking about... :)

    Here are some other views of this complex

    The second in this sequence feels fantastic!
    Did they really design a building that is leaning over? Wow!
