In addition, people always seem to be in a good mood in a casino, and the atmosphere is very lively. <a href="http://www.darrylpace.com" rel="nofollow">Health, Fitness for Working People -- Darryl Pace</a> I’ve noticed that there is an impressive mix of people — young, middle-aged, and senior — and that there are more ladies dressed like music video ladies than I’ve ever seen in any one place.

Didn't know people go this far for profit... I knew about the smells. Certain stores use this. For example, Abercrombie stores are always scented. But I'm sure there's more to it than just carpet and smell. A lot of retailers play with the lights and music. Used to work at the Gap in high school and read in the magazine that they would play "Give a Little Bit" around Christmas season in hopes that the customers will be more merry and buy more. Have you noticed that when you try on clothes in the store they look great, but might not be looking so good once you get home? The lighting in dressing rooms is very particular. True for makeup stores such as Sephora. Almost any foundation will match your face in that lighting! Haha! Went to Gilly Hicks the other day - the store lights are so dimmed you cannot see anything. I had to hold an item up to the closest light bulb to see which shade of red it was! And the music is sooo ridiculously loud. To top it of, they put a half naked, fake tanned male model outside the store with some girl constantly talking to him. But their efforts didn't have too much effect on me. I got my 12 dollar sweater and was happy :) Never been inside a real casino. (I'm not sure Luxor counts...) But I'm pretty sad that they use a vapor machine to scent the air... I'm sure that is wonderful for people's lungs on top of the smoke layer. BTW, Phoenix International airport has the worst air ever. I had to keep on eating so I wouldn't get sick.... What is their strategy? Interesting information about the carpet! Didn’t know people go this far for profit…

I knew about the carpets, but not about the scent. In the UK, I took my son for a tour of Chelsea Football Club in London. Chelsea are HIS favourite team, NOT mine - but that's another story. The tour was surprisingly interesting, particularly the bit about the cramped, hot and smelly away team dressing room with slippery floors, and the luxurious sweet smelling home team dressing room. The icing on the cake for the home team was that their lockers were air conditioned with a rose scent so that their (Armani) suits smelled nice when they got dressed after the game. This stuff is happening all around us! www.martin-wright.com Really interesting. I knew about the carpets, but not about the scent.

When the Venetian first opened, I loved the lack of junk on the card tables as well as the much more open atmosphere. It is still better than most but quickly beoming junkified...

I read somewhere that people tend to think that they have more chance of winning more money than they originally had the longer they hang around. Apparently the opposite is true, which is why casinos use all kinds of ploys to keep you inside longer. I knew about the smell thing, but the carpet trick is new to me. Makes sense though, carpet doesn't make you money unless there is a 1000 dollar chip lying on it.

Luckily for my pocketbook, I don't gamble. It is very easy to get disoriented in casinos. Disneyworld is a place that is spot on with all of there marketing. They've got everything down to a science. Even the portions in the restaurants seemed to be the exact amount we could eat. Nothing left over, yet nothing more desired!
