Views of the World, The Casino, Monte Carlo
When I first moved west, I would make occasional runs to Las Vegas. I stopped going when I realized a few things. 1. I always lost. 2. I was bored by gambling. 3. Casinos were full of cigarette smoke, and second hand smoke gave me headaches. I imagine that the Casino in Monte Carlo is kind of like Las Vegas but for rich Euro trash. Anyway, the Casino was built when the Grimaldis, the ruling family of Monaco, was facing bankruptcy and needed an out from their financial problems.
