Casino hopping is a popular activity along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, especially when it\u2019s cold and wet outside.<\/strong><\/p>\n During our recent stay on the coast, we only had sunlight on one day out of four. Three of those four days found us visiting two different casinos in two different towns.<\/strong><\/p>\n Casinos are full of shiny, blinking lights and bells, whistles and other obnoxious noises from the hundreds of slot machines.<\/strong><\/p>\n Of course I gambled while there but I also spent time looking up at the various chandeliers and light fixtures and capturing a few of those objects with my cell phone camera.<\/strong><\/p>\n Each fixture was different from the others but all had something in common.\u00a0 Glitz and Glamour.\u00a0 Some lights were not glitzy but had a particular air of glamour about them.\u00a0 Others screamed Glitz and Bling.\u00a0 I was fascinated with them all.<\/strong><\/p>\n Although we had lived on the coast for almost twenty years and frequented the casinos while living there, you would have thought that I was seeing that d\u00e9cor for the first time.\u00a0 There I was sitting at a video poker machine with my gaze on the ceiling.\u00a0 I must have looked like a first time visitor whipping that phone out!<\/strong><\/p>\n Lighting is one of the items in decorating and design that can set the mood for any space.\u00a0 It stands to reason then that a casino would want the mood to be showy and over the top.\u00a0 Expensive and glamorous.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
