Virginia Street Bridge

The Virginia Street Bridge was a historic concrete double arch bridge in downtown Reno, Nevada, US, carrying Virginia Street across the Truckee River. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The bridge is sometimes referred to as the "Wedding Ring Bridge" or the "Bridge of Sighs". In both 2002 and 2006, the bridge was listed as one of the "Eleven Most Endangered Historic Places in Nevada" by Preserve Nevada, a historic preservation organization partnered with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). Due to structural and flood control concerns, the bridge was replaced in 2016. History Built in 1905, the current Virginia Street Bridge is the fifth in a series of bridges to have been built in downtown Reno. The first was a wooden bridge built in 1860 by Charles W. Fuller and was hence called Fuller's Crossing. After it was destroyed by a flood, a second bridge, a toll bridge, was built and sold to Myron Lake in 1861, although in 1867 it was also destroyed by a flood. Even though it was replaced by yet another bridge, it became unneeded after the arrival of the Transcontinental Railroad. In 1877, the Washoe County authorized the creation of a new tied-arch bridge made of iron. In 1905, the iron bridge was moved and the most long-lived bridge, designed by San Francisco architect John B. Leonard, was built by Cotton Brothers and Company of Oakland, California. Legend Legend has it that newly divorced women would, after exiting the Washoe County Courthouse, stand on the Virginia Street Bridge and cast their wedding rings into the Truckee River below. Hence, the bridge became known as the main symbol of Reno, which was called the "Divorce Capital of the World" beginning in 1906. Over the years, salvage divers have found actual rings, according to archivist Guy Rocha. A scene depicting this takes place in the 1939 film Reno. In the 1961 film The Misfits, Marilyn Monroe considers tossing her wedding ring from the Virginia Street Bridge, but decides against it.

The Westin Las Vegas Hotel & Spa

The Westin Las Vegas Hotel & Spa – hotel i kasyno w Paradise, w amerykańskim stanie Nevada. Stanowi własność Columbia Sussex w ramach franczyzy z korporacją Westin Hotels & Resorts. The Westin Las Vegas Hotel & Spa był jednym z pierwszych obiektów w Las Vegas, które wprowadziły zakaz palenia w niemalże wszystkich sekcjach hotelu; palenie dozwolone jest jedynie na wydzielonym obszarze kasyna. W skład The Westin Las Vegas Hotel & Spa wchodzi hotel z 825 pokojami, kasyno o powierzchni 1.900 m², spa, trzy restauracje oraz teatr ze 185 miejscami. Kasyno posiada niespełna 300 automatów do gry i maszyn do video pokera oraz zaledwie dziesięć stołów do gier; dużo mniej niż megakompleksy przy the Strip czy chociażby kasyna skierowane przede wszystkim w stronę lokalnych graczy z Las Vegas lub okolic. Zamiast tego, The Westin Las Vegas Hotel & Spa skupia się bardziej na atrakcjach hotelu, takich jak wielkie spa, przyciągając gości, którzy zazwyczaj regularnie odwiedzają inne obiekty sieci Westin Hotels na świecie. The Westin Las Vegas Hotel & Spa został otwarty 6 listopada 2003 roku. Był to jednocześnie pierwszy obiekt sieci Westin na świecie, który posiadał kasyno, a zarazem pierwszy Westin w stanie Nevada. Historia Obiekt został otwarty 1 lipca 1977 roku jako Maxim Hotel and Casino. Mimo że był mniejszy niż typowe hotele w Vegas, nawet przed narodzinami ery megakompleksów, popularność Maxim wynikała z uwagi, jaką przykładano do osobistej obsługi. Maxim działał w latach 80., jednak w latach 90. zaczął pogrążać się w kryzysie, nie wytrzymując konkurencji z wielkimi resortami, powstającymi przy the Strip. Ostatecznie kasyno Maxim zostało zamknięte w 1999 roku, w atmosferze sporów pomiędzy jego właścicielami a zarządcami. Hotel kontynuował działalność przez kolejne dwa lata, aż w 2001 roku także został zamknięty. Columbia Sussex wykupiła Maxim za 38 milionów dolarów, a następnie wydała kolejnych 90 milionów dolarów na gruntowne renowacje i przebudowy budynków. W 2003 roku obiekt został otwarty ponownie jako Westin Casuarina Las Vegas Hotel, Casino & Spa. Nazwa ta zaczerpnięta została od popularnego obiektu sieci Westin na wyspie Wielki Kajman. Maxim był miejscem strzelaniny, w wyniku której, w 1996 roku, śmierć poniósł raper Tupac Shakur. Shakur był pasażerem BMW, które zatrzymało się na czerwonych światłach, na drodze przed kasynem. Z prawej strony samochodu pojawił się biały Cadillac, z którego niespodziewanie otworzył się ogień, oddając 12 strzałów. Pięć z nich raniło rapera, który zmarł tydzień później, w wyniku odniesionych obrażeń. Przypisy Linki zewnętrzne Strona oficjalna Westin Casuarina Las Vegas Hotel, Casino & Spa (ang.)
