Las Vegas, United States of America
NEW PALMS CASINO RESORT OPENS IN LAS VEGAS.
Hundreds of people line up for the opening of the Palms hotel Casino in Las
Vegas November 15, 2001. In this city known for tacky neon lights,
smoke-filled casinos and its middle American clientele is about to take a
crap shoot at something virtually unknown in these parts: the hip and
trendy. Deliberately located off the Las Vegas Strip - away from the throngs
of tourists that usually ply the city's casinos - the Palms is a 455-room,
$268 million casino-resort that practically begs to be filled by trendy
hipsters from the 20-something set. REUTERS/Mike Blake
