I think I was trying to go for a compare/contrast between the hard-edged glass wall and posters of the Cosmopolitan (the conference hotel) and the warmly-lit classicism of the Bellagio next door. I'm not sure it was successful, but at least it's a difference.

(The Cosmopolitan is... interesting, and I'm not sure whether I like it. The exterior is (for the most part) simple and minimalist, with the signage done in modernist sans-serif fonts; the lobby area and interior are heavily themed with dark and 'cold' colors offset with mirrors and crystal, contrasting dark and reflective glints in a way I found almost clinical and offputting. I haven't been inside the Bellagio, and the main building is too large to really carry off the neoclassical look - though at least it's not nearly as ugly as Caesar's Palace - but at least it goes with warm colors, and I do really like their signpost.)
