Dressed up for Memorial Day and viewed through the infrastructure of an electrical transformer station, the hotel tower at Lumiere Place serves its purpose well: to draw as much attention toward itself as possible, away from everything else. Even that shiny arch thing just south. Can that arch do this? Can the American flag glow? Come, moths, and bake in ecstasy!

You really hate that place, don't you? ;)
It's ugly. The massive TV sign on the highway should be demolished for being so distracting. It's size ironically almost detracts from nasty building itself.
Yeah, I just noticed that TV sign this weekend; was that part of the original deal?
HOW DARE YOU MOCK PATRIOTIC DISPLAY OF PATRIOTIC PATRIOTISM
WHY DO YOU HATE FREEDOM?!?
I see a bunch of terrorists on this here website and I'm going to smoke em out!
Hate doesn't quite describe the odd mix of fascination and irritation I feel when I look at the thing. The building itself is terrible, at least on the exterior, and the TV screen facing I-70 wouldn't even pass review by most exurban zoning boards. The LED stripe, though, has a weird allure. On a better building, it might make sense. It definitely adds more color to our skyline -- not a bad thing.
fascination and irritation--I like that
The building reminds me of a faux Burj Al Arab.
