The window trick of Las Vegas hotels
Presumably, he means a single window we see is made up of 4-6 panes and 
those panes are bigger than a single story<p>I am having trouble seeing the 4-6 windows combined from the photos of the Bellagio.   The close up does not help.<p>The first mentioned buildings seem brutalist esp. the second one.
It is a form of utilitarian architecture that has great appeal to me. 
I think in part because it is rare now.<p>I find them far more pleasing to the eye than the giant glass clad high rises
that was the fashion for a long time. 
I have read that it is now going out of fashion, but I have not yet seen any
examples locally.<p>Wanting to give my dogs new and exciting places to sniff and pee 
I try to walk around in different neighborhoods in the area.
As have been doing this for many years now and the unexplored
neighborhoods are getting farther and farther out.<p>About two years ago, at random, I found a brutalist single
family dwelling.  It is a big house for a single family but
it is the smallest such building I have ever seen, it is beautiful.
(to me)<p>I truly stands out from all the other nearby houses. 
I have visited that area often to take pictures and just look at it.
I would love a chance to see the inside.<p>If I had the money and I most certainly do not, id love to live
in a house like that. 
It would make giving directions a lot easier as well.<p>I wonder if there exists brutalist "tiny homes".
That would be something to behold<p>For an explanation of the term brutalist see:
