For its 70th birthday, the owners of the El Cortez are saluting its long history by making it.......UGLY

I asked inside last night if it was too late for the person responsible to be fired. the tower is being made to resemble what has been called a farmhouse/barn and the front side is going for the stark white with chocolate brown trim. (????)

How did they decide to use two different color schemes on one property, and who decided to go with horizontal brick red stripes on the east side and vertical brick red stripes on the south side?????

At least they started to make up for it by letting me catch four aces with a kicker on the video poker.
