Casino Carpet Gallery

Talk about eccentric. The Casino Carpet Gallery from David G. Schwartz's DieisCast website is exactly as described. I wonder what the thought process entailed when deciding to catalog Casino Carpets. I mean who would ever think to do such a thing? Well apparently David G Schwartz, that's who.

There are nine pages of photographs of Casino Carpets. To say the man is obsessed is an understatement, no?

From his site-

"This is it...the notorious casino carpet gallery: NINE (9!) pages of casino carpeting and nothing but.
When I started this quixotic adventure, I thought I'd try to photograph a sample of casino carpeting in every Las Vegas casino. On a pre-Katrina trip to the Missisippi Gulf Coast, I decided to extend it--why not take pictures of the carpets there? From there it grew into a national quest: in every casino city I visit now, I make a point of capturing each casino's floor for these pages."
