Las Vegas, Baby!

I went to Las Vegas a few weeks ago and saw some amazing faux finishes! I think Las Vegas has to be the "faux capital" of the world. I certainly couldn't imagine completing some of these projects on my own (I'd definitely have to find a crew!!)
I thought I'd post some of the more unique projects I saw - mostly at Caesar's (where we stayed), so that means overdone marble columns and such. I can't take credit for ANY of these photos - I only dream to do a project this enormous someday!  Enjoy!

This is by far the most beautiful "faux" marble I've ever seen. I couldn't even believe it wasn't real. The most impressive part is that it is replicated on about 24 columns in this huge shopping area.

Faux sky. This is a fairly easy finish to replicate, yet gives a magnificent result.
