Maps - Wizard of Vegas
Wow, pretty out of date, needs an upgrade, no D, still Fitz. No downtown Grand, Bills still on map, Imperial Palace instead of Quad. Terribles still Terribles, ect.
A lot of Vegas info remains the same but never the maps :-)
It's on my to-do list to update them but I've had other projects get in the way.
As it happens, the other stuff has cleared up, so I'll get to it this week.

I really like those maps. It's much easier to locate a casino on them vs. Google or Yahoo Maps.

If you click on the downtown map, that pretty updated with the Grand and Container park.
I think Google maps totally rocks.
For instance, thinking about checking out Pinball hall of fame on my upcoming trip.
I checked google maps to see how far from strip, yup, too far to walk, will have to cab it or go by bus.
Then I checked street view, now I know exactly what the building and front look like.

I'm working on this today. In addition to these changes, Gold Spike is no more. Plaza, Stratosphere and GVR have changed their logos. And I have to fix Carson Ave and correctly spell Bridger Ave Downtown.
Are there any other changes, fixes or additions that I'm forgetting?
I'm tempted to add the Neon Museum. Ultimately that would be Mike's decision, but I figure if the Fashion Show mall can be on the Strip Map (which I added at Mike's request), the Neon Museum should be on Downtown's map. It may not be "iconic" on it's own, but the items in the boneyard certainly are, and I think that qualifies it. Thoughts?

That's a pretty cool map, thanks man. Hopefully they will keep it updated.
Changes: The D, Downtown Grand, Neon Museum, Plaza logo, deleted Gold Spike, fixed roads.)
Changes: Quad, Silver Sevens, Stratosphere logo. Crossed off Bills. I tilted Tropicana and Hooters so Hooters would be closer to it's actual location. I modified the gauge and wording to better reflect the scale.
Changed the logos for GVR and Aliante.

I think they're fantastic as well. Can I suggest any kind of darkening of "Palazzo" though? Even on the Jpeg, it's so light I can only see the P, and the web version could barely see even that. I know it's a crowded area of the map, though. Nice job, Dave!

Awesome map. BTW, did you realize that the url looks like condom ap? Reminds me of the SNL Jeopardy days :)
Quote: WizardAt first glance, these look fantastic. Thank you!
You're very welcome, but waddaya mean "At first glance"?

No viruses since the last time, which was on my DJ site back in the spring. Google last checked on 10/22.

Thanks Babs. Yeah, Palazzo is a pain in my butt. I generally don't like to touch up the logos, but I'll see what I can do.

You may be disappointed. Don't set your expectations too high and you'll be okay.
While I was at it, I cleaned up the logo for Tuscany.
