Description: Comparative architectural analysis between the fake surroundings of the Venetia casino hotel in Las Vegas and the neo-Baroque buildings in Mexico City, known as the Venice of the Americas.
Notes: "The conceptual starting point for this book emerged in the course of an academic excursion to Las Vegas in October of 2010 by the working group on the neo-Baroque of the project "The Hispanic Baroque". The aim was to discuss ideas of the "efficiency" of Baroque principles in the globalized culture of the early twenty-first century"--Page [14].
