Las Vegas Strip 🌠✨ The Neon Runway ☄️🚘

Here it says they had been writing to each other on the mirrors at Bally's Hotel in Las Vegas for two years before he surprised Dean in 1989. The dancers on The Dean Martin Show, The Gold Diggers said that they were leaving notes for each other at The MGM Grand in the weeks before the reunion in 1976. I think they left messages for each other more than we know. I think they talked more than we know. What we do know is that these two and their infatuation with one another was beautiful.

Hotel Review- Las Vegas MGM Grand

I’ve been to Las Vegas a few times in my life- sometimes for vacations, more often for work- and I make it a point to try to stay in a different hotel each time I visit. Although I’ve stayed at quite a few different Vegas hotels at this point, MGM Grand remains one of my favorites. For one, the price is pretty hard to beat. I’ve seen their Grand King rooms for as little as $50 a night, and they…

In her memoir printed in 1930 in Lektyr, the magazine published in Stockholm by her friend Lars Saxon, she described her technique in several sentences: "I live the part I am playing. I am completely under its spell, so that if anyone tries to speak to me or ask me questions, it wakes me up, so to speak." She followed the advice of both Delsarte and Stanislavski that actors should internalize a role until it becomes part of themselves. Mercedes thought that the characters Garbo played possessed her. The acclaimed directors Rouben Mamoulian and George Cukor agreed. Both said that her acting was intuitive; Mamoulian called it "a divine gift." (Mamoulian directed her in Queen Christina; Cukor in Ninotchka and Two-Faced Woman.)

But she prepared carefully for each role. She read books that provided context. Given her photographic memory, she memorized not only her own lines but also the lines of all the other actors. She practiced movements and gestures to find the ones she wanted to use. The producer Sam Marx saw her walking in the alley behind his office at MGM before filming began on Grand Hotel. She was pacing back and forth, varying her steps in speed and rhythm. Marx realized that she was figuring out how the ballerina she was playing in Grand Hotel should move.

In describing Garbo's acting, director Clarence Brown stressed the brilliance of her eyes. "She had something behind the eyes that you couldn't see until you photographed her in close-up. If she had to look at one person with jealousy, and another with love, she didn't have to change her expression. No other screen actress has been able to do that on film." The number of close-ups given to an actress in her films was considered a measure of her stardom; no other Hollywood actress in Garbo's era reached her total. Critics of Garbo’s acting charged that she was a somnambulist—that she sleepwalked through her films—which was characteristic of actresses in German expressionist films, which often were set in a dream landscape.

Signs, NV (No. 1)

In the signage industry, neon signs are electric signs lighted by long luminous gas-discharge tubes that contain rarefied neon or other gases. They are the most common use for neon lighting, which was first demonstrated in a modern form in December 1910 by Georges Claude at the Paris Motor Show. While they are used worldwide, neon signs were popular in the United States from about the 1920s to 1950s. The installations in Times Square, many originally designed by Douglas Leigh, were famed, and there were nearly 2,000 small shops producing neon signs by 1940. In addition to signage, neon lighting is used frequently by artists and architects, and (in a modified form) in plasma display panels and televisions. The signage industry has declined in the past several decades, and cities are now concerned with preserving and restoring their antique neon signs.

Light emitting diode arrays can be formed to simulate the appearance of neon lamps.

Tens of thousands of Las Vegas hotel workers fighting for new union contracts set a strike deadline Thursday, threatening major disruptions at more than a dozen resorts that could coincide with the Strip's inaugural Formula 1 races later this month. The Culinary Workers Union said about 35,000 members whose contracts expired earlier this year could walk off the job if deals aren't reached by Nov. 10 with casino giants MGM Resorts International, Caesars Entertainment and Wynn Resorts. Formula 1's Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend is scheduled to begin Nov. 15 with an opening ceremony and is expected to bring thousands of people to the Strip. Nevada's largest labor union, with about 60,000 members statewide, hasn’t gone on strike in decades. A walkout would be the latest in a series of high-profile labor unrest actions around the country — from walkouts in Hollywood to UPS' contentious negotiations that threatened to disrupt the nation’s supply chain — and would follow hospitality workers walking off the job last month at Detroit's three casinos, including MGM Grand Detroit.
