Oh, to have a functioning digital camera once again! But I digress …
If you can, get on down to the Las Vegas Strip today, where letters have been affixed to the roof of Cosmopolitan‘s east tower (left). It looks awfully narrow to fit “Cosmopolitan” up there and so far they’ve managed to squeeze in “OSMOPO.” Dunno about you but that seems a mite catchy. As with “Planet Ho” (whose nickname arose from a similar signage hiatus), it will be difficult not to think of the place as “Osmopo” henceforth.

When the Mandalay Bay was being built, for a few days the sign read “ALAY BA”. I still occasionally call it Alayba, but nobody ever knows what I’m talking about.
