Fat Chance

Lumiere Place

As I've mentioned in the past, STL has an awful lot of casinos for a city our size. They help fill the government's coffers and empty people's pockets. This is the grandest one. Lumiere Place stands on the edge of a run-down industrial area not far north of the Arch. It contains an opulent Four Seasons Hotel in that cyan box.

The architecture leaves something to be desired, IMHO. A blue-green box with an odd coxcomb growing out if it. That reddish part must be inlaid with LEDs. It glows in all sorts of low resolution themes, as determined by the management. The crummy picture at the bottom was taken from my office window last night with my iPhone. It doesn't seem sincere.
 
The next to last picture is a big video signboard by I 70 next to the casino. You can't time it on purpose but the camera can get some good video wipes. And if you can squint, read the bottom line. It says Gambling Problems? Call 1.888.BETSOFF. You can get yourself barred from the casino.
