Color Splash
Feb 20th, 2009 | By admin | Category: Off the Press and on My MindIf there’s any place in this great, big world that’s fit for glass, that place has got to be Las Vegas. And last week in my Vegas hotel room window at The Palms (I was there for Glass Week) I could see some distinctive displays of glazing–the purple, red and blue Rio, the glittery gold Trump Tower and the Bronze Wynn and Encore. I’m sure many of you are with me when I say, what would Vegas be without glass?
I still get a kick out of walking the strip and looking at all the casinos. The exterior is one thing, but when you step inside some of the casinos, that’s when you can see decorative glass at it’s best.
From walls and floors and stairways, to shimmery mirrors … patterns, colors, textures … it’s all there. With all this glass, I’m sure many members of GANA (especially the decorative group) were feeling right at home last week.

The Palms was no disappointment when it came to decorative glass. From the cracked glass displays in the elevators, the colorful light fixtures, the Rojo lounge located in the nearby Palms Place, even a colorfully lit casino display, there was a lot to take in.
While I could not get pictures of every piece of glass, and some did not turn out as well as I’d hoped (those casinos are so dark, you know), I do have a couple here I’d like to share: the light fixture and the Rojo Lounge .

And speaking of sharing, here’s something else I’d like to share-what do you think of the recently-launched website: www.decorativeglassmag.com. Check it out whenever you get a chance. The site went live on Monday this week and it’s gotten a really great response. You’ll want to check back often, as the site
