The Gilded Cage: The Psychology of a Casino explored the evolution of casino resort architecture from clock-less, dark rooms and 99-cent shrimp cocktails to magnificent views, perfectly appointed luxury cabanas, and Michelin-star restaurants. Attendees heard from the architects who designed today’s destination properties and how they looked to the past to create buildings that capture the visitor’s five senses.
