April, 2005 - Page 1

Posted May 4, 2005

April was another exciting month. The paintbrushes came back out, and nohing was safe. Well, nothing but the back wall.

The month started with the plaster finished on the second floor of the casino, but not the first. At least the modillions were in place.

Just a couple of days later, and what did I see on the bridge from the parking garage to the casino? That’s right, it’s paint!

A little closer look shows they’re using the same colors as the very top of the hotel tower. And they’re also starting at the eaves and working their way down.

But they weren’t done. A few days later they had painted more of the bridge, putting that brilliant white on the walls next to the windows.

They also dismantled the scaffolding as they went down, giving an unobstructed view of the newly-painted eaves and modillions.

Meanwhile, at the northeast corner of the casino, they were still doing plaster work. Here the grey dots covered the entire second floor.
