Atlantic City Red?

I got to thinking more about this as I was driving into AC last Saturday night.





Is there a law that all AC casino signs on the boardwalk have to use the exact same shade of red for their sign?





I noticed Borgata, Harrahs and the Marina use whatever colors they want.





Will the new Revell also have to use ';Atlantic City'; red for their sign?





It seems like the law must law still be in effect or one of the casinos would have changed theirs long ago to stand out in the skyline.



Atlantic City Red?


so Sands was demolished b/c their sign was orange %26amp; it was breaking this law?



Atlantic City Red?


You%26#39;re right. I forgot about the Sands.





I couldn%26#39;t find a reason so I thought I%26#39;d ask the experts





Atlantic City Red Hotels:



Showboat



Taj Mahal



Resorts



Flagship



Claridge



Ballys



Caesars



Plaza



Tropicana



Hilton



Sheraton



Harrahs



Marriott



Borgata (at least in this photo): http://www.atlanticcity.com/borgata.htm





The Chelsea is purple.




Red = winning color. That%26#39;s my guess. When it was built Bally%26#39;s Park Place Casino was carpeted in green. A few months later it was all red.




this is interesting. never noticed it befor .yeah maybe its just a superstition thing?




does anyone remember the %26#39;Leo the Lion%26#39; entrance to MGM Grand in Las Vegas? photo: http://www-flash.stanford.edu/~heinlein/images/mgmgrand.gif [no, it is not me in the pic] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MGM_Grand excerpt: %26#39;Originally, the main entrance on the Strip was inside the mouth of a giant cartoon-like version of MGM%26#39;s mascot, Leo the Lion, but this entrance feature was changed to a more traditional entrance; many Chinese gamblers avoided the casino or entered through the back entrance, due to the feng shui belief that entering the mouth of the lion was ';bad luck.';[8] In 1998, a large bronze statue of Leo was added above the entrance to keep with the MGM Lion theme, while not scaring away their more superstitious guests. The statue weighs 50 tons, and at 45 feet (14 m) tall, on a 25-foot pedestal, is the largest bronze statue in the U.S.%26#39;




Rship - I remember that entrance Rship! I thought that was cool back in my visit there in the early 90%26#39;s....I recall how big that place was inside - seemed enormous compared to the AC casinos at the time....this is all before Harrah%26#39;s expanded and some others...




the green might have been in the irish leprachauns favor for luckiness.i remember resorts as blue.i think red stimulates you.




%26gt;%26gt;I recall how big that place was inside - seemed enormous compared to the AC casinos at the time%26lt;%26lt;



I still think it%26#39;s huge! 20min walk to the b~fast buffet! After the 1st day, I just wore my swimsuit to the b~fast buffet, b/c returning to my room and changing only subtracted 40min pooltime



due to the size, I am not going to stay there again, BUT I do love their b~fast buffet, mmm, eggs benedict
