Casino carpets are usually an exercise in deliberate bad taste that somehow encourages people to gamble. In a strange way, though, they are sublime works of art, rivalling any expressionist canvas of the past century.
Note the regal tones of Caesars Palace, the bountiful bouquet of Mandalay Place, the soft, almost abstract pointilism of Paris, all whispering, 'gamble, gamble' just out of the range of consciousness as people walk to the nearest slot machine.
