Wiki-Casino

Today I discovered Wikipedia. I'm probably extremely late in coming across this amazing site, which allows any user to add content with the added benefit of that content able to be edited by other users.

After registering, I looked around, naturally heading over to the Architecture category, where I happened across a list of casinos. Thinking all the way back to yesterday's post, I wondered what guise might a Loop casino take? Could this be it?

Probably not, but the collision of forms is indicative of a multi-use project: the slab in the rear with octagonal bays probably a hotel, a mid-rise component on the right-hand side another use, and the base taken up by the casino itself. Not too far off from Block 37, just physically half a world away.
