Here is a new feature. I, or anyone, will take a picture of something in Vegas and the goal for the audience is to name the casino. Pictures shouldn't be too easy or too hard.
Here is the first entry.

Since I can't google, my guess is...
The California, since it looks like it's a mural of the gold rush
If the House lost every hand, they wouldn't deal the game.

Ding ding ding! BBB wins the prize via the use of good logical thinking. That mural is located along the Main Street side of the California hotel/casino.

Maybe that one isn't fair. This will probably give it away, but let me state that from now on answers don't have to be casinos, but can be anywhere in Vegas. However, I'll keep in mind what the average Vegas visitor is likely to see.
I may as well just tell you, the answer is the Vdara. I suspect some of the Aria guesses may have been Vdara had it not been for the title of the thread.
Here is the next one.

Put SPOILER inside of these [] to start it, and then put /SPOILER inside of these [] to finish it.

Hmmm...I think that one is probably better, I just was never actually at that one. I'm only selecting from places I've been when making my guesses, and while I wasn't exactly to Aria, I was pretty close. Basically, I'm just picking the one I think it could be out of places I've been.
The first one I knew would either be California or Golden Nugget, it looked like a bunch of people panning for gold and you can buy Golden Nuggets at Golden Nugget from a vending machine, so I went with that.

I'll stick with my answer for now. Although I don't think the "average" visitor to Vegas would go there. I am guessing that only several percent of forum members have been there.

But about a dozen people have guessed the same, different place, so I'm going to assume they are right. Also, I thought those were frogs on first glance. I am terrible at identifying cartoon animal sculptures, clearly!
