The Salt Flats extend in a broad white plain, the desert's skin stretched tight, as far as the eye can see - and it curves. The horizon line is a clear arc from side to side, and the two stripes of freeway pavement curve away across the alkali toward the vanishing point.

In Las Vegas, for example, a number of high-profile projects raised the level and quality of Strip offerings. Notably, Circus Circus, which had opened in 1968 as a $15 million 700-slot casino, built a 15-story, 400-room hotel tower and 850-seat showroom. Developed by Jay Sarno, creator of Caesars Palace, the major addition was financed with a $15.5 million Teamsters Pension Fund loan and completed in July 1972.
