There are two massive sections of the casino itself. Casino of the Earth and Casino of the Sun. It boasts the world's largest planetarium, which arches over this brilliantly lit glass cliff. (It was too dark at the time we were there for my camera, unfortunately). In fact, the entire section of the Casino of the Earth was a bit dark for picture-taking. However, in person, it's stunning.

In the Casino of the Sun lobby, there were these massive "trees" made out of beads.

And this leads to the massive indoor 7-story waterfall and glass sculpture:

Amazing, huh?
