Not destined to go down as the greatest shot in history, this one shows the new taxi pickup area at the front of the newly refurbished Star Casino. I wanted to give the crippled Olympus a relatively easy target.

Of course The Star itself (and its doubtless well connected owners) are not such an easy target despite stories like this:

SACKED casino boss Sid Vaikunta was sent on leave six weeks before he was fired, raising questions over whether senior management knew of his alleged misbehaviour on the eve of the casino's licence being renewed.
Casino employees told The Sun-Herald Mr Vaikunta had not been seen at work since before Christmas. At the same time, government sources said it was understood Mr Vaikunta had been sent on extended leave six weeks before The Star's chief executive, Larry Mullin, announced his termination on Thursday.
The casino has refused to add to its statement that Mr Vaikunta's employment had been terminated ''after his behaviour in a social work setting''. However, it only has until 1pm tomorrow to provide a full explanation to the state government.

Yup. And I'm sure that the "full explanation" will contain "no evidence of wrongdoing".

Perhaps 5631 is waiting to haul away another senior executive? No, one sacrificial goat should suffice for now.

Gods The Star is an ugly place in my opinion. Ugly inside and out.
