Fascinating story and gallery in Wired showing pictures of Vegas carpet by Chris Maluszynski. #

Years ago, while in Las Vegas covering the World Series of Poker, Maluszynski found himself as enraptured by the drama unfolding below the tables as above them. Originally from Sweden, now based in New York, Maluszynski spent four years roaming Sin City’s kaleidoscopic corridors with his camera. #

Dave Schwartz, Director of the Center for Gaming Research, at the University of Nevada Las Vegas, theorizes that “casino carpet is known as an exercise in deliberate bad taste that somehow encourages people to gamble.” #

Viewing the whole gallery is an experience slightly disturbing but recommended nonetheless to jolt your artistic sensibility. Kinda drinking fresh lemon juice. #
