11. Environment:
The Glass Pool Inn sits on
south end of the strip among the small dying hotels of Las Vegas
Blvd.'s earlier history, it is one of the first signs you see traveling
North on the strip entering town. Just north lies the beginning
of the main flood of architecture from the modern strip; while to
its south are the beginnings of the strip and the spawning new growth
of Las Vegas. The Glass Pool stands in the unique position of being
in that gateway of entering the Las Vegas Strip |
